Detailed Solution

The given statement is false.
Virtual image:
"Images formed when the light rays appear to meet at a definite point after reflection from the mirror is termed virtual image."
Real image:
"Images are formed when the light rays meet at a particular point after reflection from the mirror."
A virtual image cannot be produced on the screen because the image is formed on the screen by the light rays that do not meet at a particular point; instead, they appear to meet at a point when the rays are reflected. But in the case of real images, the light rays (intersect) meet at a particular point after reflection from the mirror. The images formed are always inverted.
The correct statement would be that virtual images cannot be taken on screen.
