Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
A convex mirror obtains a virtual, diminished and erect image, whereas a concave mirror is used in order to obtain an enlarged, real and inverted image of any object. When rays of light from an object are incident on a concave mirror, it converges at a point and reflects back from the reflecting surface of the concave mirror, forming an enlarged and real inverted image. Similarly, convex mirrors form virtual and diminished images.
The correct statement would be we can obtain a virtual, diminished and erect image with a convex mirror.
