Solution

The correct option is B No
Let concave side be side A and convex side be side B.
Convex mirror always forms erect and virtual image. Hence, image is formed on side A.
For image to overlap, concave side should produce image on the same side meaning image will be real and inverted.
Since one image is inverted, other is erect, they cannot overlap.
