A point source of light is placed in front of a plane mirror.
Options
All the reflected rays meet at a point when produced backward.
Only the reflected rays close to the normal meet at a point when produced backward.
Only the reflected rays making a small angle with the mirror meet at a point when produced backward.
Light of different colours make different images.

Solution
All the reflected rays meet at a point when produced backward.
Here, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. Therefore, all rays get reflected to converge at a single point to form the point image of the point source.
