Manjula is observing her image in a plane mirror. The distance between herself and the mirror is 5 m. She moves 1 m towards the mirror. The distance between herself and her image now is

  • A.1 m
  • B.4 m
  • C.8 m
  • D.10 m

Answer: C

The distance between Manjula and her image is 8 m.

A plane mirror forms the image as far behind the mirror as the object is in front of it. After moving 1 m closer, Manjula is 5 − 1 = 4 m from the mirror, so her image is 4 m behind it.

\[ \text{distance} = 4 + 4 = 8\ \text{m} \]

4 m is only her distance from the mirror, 10 m is the original distance before she moved, and 1 m is how far she moved.
