Answer 1

The correct option is B Statement 1 is true but statement 2 is false.

Concave mirrors are used in torches and car headlights.

When a bulb is placed at the focus of a concave reflector, the reflector collects the light rays and direct them into a powerful beam (in form of parallel rays) after reflection. Such beam can reach a large distance in dark and enable vision up to greater distances.
