Solution

The correct option is C Statement - I is true, Statement -II is false
During the derivation of the mirror formula, we have to take few approximations for getting the mirror equation and those approximations include mirror must have very small size in comparison to the radius of curvature.
However, the laws of reflection are valid for any kind of reflecting surface.

Hence, statement - I is True, but statement - II is False.
