| List-I | List-II |
| Nature and position of image | Optical device |

| (B) Always virtual and diminished images are formed on the other side of an object. | (II) In convex lens |
| (C)Virtual and magnified image is formed on the other side of the object, when the object is inside the focal point. | (III) In concave lens |
| (D) Virtual and magnified image is formed on the side of the object itself, when the object is inside the focal point. | (IV) In concave mirror |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → (A) - (III), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (II)
The key idea is where a virtual image forms: for a lens on the same side as the object, for a mirror behind it, on the other side.
(A) Only virtual images are formed on the side of the object itself. — this matches (III) In concave lens. A concave lens always forms a virtual, diminished image on the object’s side.
(B) Always virtual and diminished images are formed on the other side of an object. — this matches (I) In convex mirror. A convex mirror always forms a virtual, diminished image behind it.
(C) Virtual and magnified image is formed on the other side of the object, when the object is inside the focal point. — this matches (IV) In concave mirror, with the object between the pole and the focus.
(D) Virtual and magnified image is formed on the side of the object itself, when the object is inside the focal point. — this matches (II) In convex lens, the simple magnifier.
