Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Both statements as true. In a real image, the convergence of light rays takes place to meet at a point.
But no such meeting of light takes place in the virtual images. Hence if we place a screen at the position of the virtual image, nothing would be seen. However, when a camera or eyes or any converging lens system is placed in front of the reflected rays that seem to form an image(virtual image), the rays are actually converged by the lens to form an image on their screens.
