Images from Parallel Plane Mirrors

Assertion (A): When an object is placed between two plane parallel mirrors, all the images formed are of equal intensity.
Reason (R): In above situation of two plane parallel mirrors, only two images are possible.
 
Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(A) is true but (R) is false
Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Assertion (A) is false. Image intensity decreases with each reflection due to absorption.
Reason (R) is false. An infinite number of images are formed between two parallel plane mirrors.
Therefore, both (A) and (R) are false.
