    Question

    Sachin sees one-fourth of his body (height) when he stands in front of a vertical mirror at a distance of 20 cm from it. How much of his body will he see if he steps back and stands 40 cm from the mirror?

    A.

    half

    B.

    one-fourth

    C.

    one-eighth

    D.

    full

    Correct option is B


    Solution:
    In a plane (vertical) mirror, the distance of the person from the mirror does not affect how much of the body is visible. The visible portion depends only on the height of the mirror, not on how far the person stands.
    Since Sachin sees one-fourth of his body at 20 cm, he will see the same fraction even after moving to 40 cm.
    Correct answer:
    (b) one-fourth
