Solution
The correct option is C Will increase Velocity of object = v
Velocity of mirror = – v
Velocity of object relative to mirror = v – (– v) = 2v
For plane mirror, |velocity of object relative to mirror| = |velocity of image| = 2v
So, the velocity of image increases.
Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
