b

d
Decreases asP comes closer to the mirror

detailed solution

Correct option is M

In case of a convex mirror, as the object moves from infinity to the pole of the mirror, the virtual image moves from its focus to the pole of the mirror. Thus speed of the image is always less than V . However, this lower speed of image increases asP comes closer to the mirror.
