Detailed Solution

Concept: In the case of mirrors, the magnification is expressed as m=v/u, but in the case of lenses, the magnification will be m=v/u. The image will be magnified if m is positive; if m is negative, the image won't be magnified.
Let's start by thinking about a convex mirror. Infinity will cause the rays to strike the convex mirror and diverge. The emphasis seems to be where the rays converge. Virtually, an image is created. The size of the image that forms in this case is really little. When the object is kept at infinity, the ray diagram for the convex mirror is displayed.
Question ImageOne ray will travel and strike the mirror perpendicularly so that it meets the centre of curvature if the object is placed at a finite distance. Another ray will strike the convex mirror, diverge, and then converge between the pole and the convex mirror's focus. Between the pole and the focus, a virtual image will be created in this scenario. When the object is maintained at a finite distance, the ray diagram for the convex mirror is displayed.
Question ImageAs you can see, the image's height is less than the object's height. The created image will always be smaller than the object, regardless of where the object is put.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
