Assertion (A) : The image of an object placed close to a concave mirror is a real image.
Reason (R) : A real image is formed due to the actual intersection of the reflected rays.

Answer
assertion is false but reason is true
Explanation
Assertion (A) is false because when an object is placed close to a concave mirror, i.e., between the pole (P) and the focus (F), the image formed is virtual, erect, and magnified, not real and only when the object is placed beyond the focus, the image formed is real and inverted.
Reason (R) is true because this is the definition of a real image which is formed when reflected rays actually meet.

We use a concave polished metallic surface as a reflector in a torch to obtain a parallel beam of light. The position of the bulb is :
- at the centre of curvature of the reflector.

- can be any of the above options
