Assertion and Reason for Concave Mirror and Image Formation

Assertion (A): Concave mirror can not form real image of real object.
Reason (R): Concave mirror behave as a diverging mirror.
 
(1) Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
(2) Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(3) (A) is true but (R) is false
(4) Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

A concave mirror is a converging mirror and can form real images of real objects when the object is beyond the focal point. Therefore, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are false.
