Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
If we raise our right hand, our image in a plane mirror also raises its right hand. Images formed in plane mirrors are laterally inverted. Laterally means sideways, while Inverted means an image is upside down. Image is formed due to the reflection of light.
The correct statement would be that, if we raise our right hand, the image will appear to raise its left hand in the mirror, as shown in the following figure.
