Detailed Solution

Concept: Plane mirrors always produce a virtual, erect picture of the same size in all positions where the object is positioned. That is why we make great use of a flat mirror in our daily lives. Here is a picture of the image formation in the plane mirror. The virtual image position is shown by dashed lines in that diagram.
It is viewed as a diverging mirror since it is convex. It can create simulated, erect, and scaled-down images.
1. The picture will be virtual, upright, and smaller than the object if the object is at infinity.
2. The picture will be small, virtual, and erect if the object is placed between infinity and the pole.
Converging mirrors is another name for concave mirrors. The image produced by a concave mirror may be actual or virtual, depending on the object's location. They can also expand or contract in size.
1. The image will be actual and smaller than the thing if the object is infinite.
2. The image will produce an actual image of the same size if the object is put in the center of curvature and focus.
3. A virtual and erect image will form if the object is put between the focus and the pole.
Hence, the correct option is 3.
