Solution

The correct option is A Concave mirror and Converging lens
Concave mirror and Converging lens is used to produce image which is upright and reduced in size. For a convex mirror revealed that the image of the object was virtual, upright, reduced in size and located behind the mirror. The surface may be convex .Convex mirrors reflect light outwards, therefore they are not used to focus light.

Q. A concave mirror is a converging mirror, and a convex mirror is a diverging mirror.

A converging lens and a diverging mirror are placed at a separation of 15 cm. The focal length of the lens is 25 cm and that of the mirror is 40 cm. Where should a point source be placed between the lens and the mirror so that the light, after getting reflected by the mirror and then getting transmitted by the lens, comes out parallel to the principal axis ?
