Question
A two eyed man is looking at the junction of two mutually perpendicular mirrors from a far off distance. Assume no reflection to occur from the edge. Then if both the eyes are open
- The eye 1 of man can see image of both eye 1 and eye 2 .
- The eye 1 can see image of eye 1 only and eye 2 see image of eye 2 only.
- The eye 1 can see image of eye 2 only and eye 2 can see image of eye one only.
- All the above statements are false.
The correct answer is: The eye 1 can see image of eye 2 only and eye 2 can see image of eye one only.

A plane mirror ' M ' and a concave mirror ' X ' are kept at a separation of 40 an with their reflecting faces facing each other as shown in figure. An object AB is kept perpendicular to the principal axis in position (1). Considering successive reflections first at mirror ' X ' and then at ' M', a real image is formed in front of 'M at a normal distance 8 am form it. If the object is moved to new position (2), the real image is formed at 20 cm from ' M ' with the reflections as described earlier.
Keeping the object in position (1), if the plane mirror is replaced with a convex mirror ' Y ' of focal length 20 m facing the mirror ' X ' after successive reflections first at ' X ' and then at ' Y ', the final image will be
