Plane Mirror Image Formation

Assertion (A): It is never possible to produce a real image using a plane mirror.
Reason (R): Radius of curvature of a plane mirror is negative.
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 true as plane mirrors always form virtual images.
Reason (R) is false because the radius of curvature of a plane mirror is infinite.
Therefore, (A) is true and (R) is false.
