Detailed Solution

Concept: Plane mirror makes a virtual and erect image
1-A silvered surface is used because silver is  the metal which reflects the most light .
2-  Polished silver is used in a mirror because  it reflects the maximum light incident on it and does not  absorb it.
So the back silvered surface reflects more light than a front smooth surface in a plane mirror.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
