Solution

Boojho can see image of an object if the reflected ray can reach his eyes. Reflected rays from P and Q can reach the eyes of Boojho, hence he can see P and Q. Reflected rays from A move away from him and never reach his eyes. Hence, he cannot see his own image. Reflected rays from R pass from under his eyes and hence he is unable to see R too.
