Match the corresponding entries of Column I with Column II. Column I: (a) m = -2, (b) m = -1/2, (c) m = +2, (d) m = +1/2. Column II: (i) convex mirror, (ii) concave mirror, (iii) real image, (iv) virtual image. Here m is mirror magnification.

Step 1: m < 0 means inverted real image, which can only be produced by a concave mirror. Both (a) and (b) match (ii) and (iii). Step 2: m = +2 means erect enlarged virtual image of a concave mirror: (c) matches (ii) and (iv). Step 3: m = +1/2 means erect diminished virtual image of a convex mirror: (d) matches (i) and (iv). Final answer: (D).

Match the corresponding entries of Column I with Column II. Column I: (a) m = −2, (b) m = −1/2, (c) m = +2, (d) m = +1/2. Column II: (i) convex mirror, (ii) concave mirror, (iii) real image, (iv) virtual image. Here m is mirror magnification.
