Solution

Answer: 1 Mark
Reason: 2 Marks

No, you won't be able to see your reflection in the mirror.
An image is formed when light is reflected by an object and reaches our eye. In the dark room, there is no light, which means there won't be any reflection of light. Hence, no image will be formed by a mirror in a completely dark room.
