Answer

(a) and (b)

Reason — Mirror ‘X’ used in a solar furnace is a concave mirror, which concentrates sunlight at its focus, forming a real and diminished image — so statement (a) is true.

Mirror ‘Y’ used as a rear-view mirror is a convex mirror, which forms a virtual, diminished and erect image — so statement (b) is true.

Therefore, the correct statements are (a) and (b).
