Solution

Headlights of a car - concave mirror - Because bulb lies in the focal point of the mirror by using concave mirror light rays travel parallel and reach maximum distance

Rear - mirror of a vehicle- convex mirror - Because convex mirror diminishes the image and can cover much more area than any other mirror

Solar furnace - concave mirror - Concave mirror concentrates sun rays to a point that increases energy at the focal point.
