Solution

The correct option is B On the object itself
Here, three optical phenomena take place-first refraction, then reflection and finally refraction.

For 1st refraction, 15v12R=1.51R

1.5v=0v

i.e. rays after refraction get parallel to the axis and strike the mirror normally, get retracted back, and final image is formed at the same placed where the object is and of same size(i.e., auto collimation).
Hence, the image would be real.


Hence, only option B is correct.
