Detailed Solution

The given statement is true.
The mirror with a reflective surface curved inward and away from the light source is a concave mirror. A concave mirror is also called a converging mirror. Converging mirrors reflect light inward to one focal point.
When the object is placed beyond the centre of curvature, the image is formed between the focus and the centre of curvature. Then the size and nature of the image will be real, inverted and a diminished image.
