Solution

The correct option is B B
Since, the lines PQ and RS are parallel to each other as well as the principal axis of the convex mirror. So the convex mirror will focus the parallel ray at its focus and thus both the initially parallel lines appear to be converged after reflection. Also, since the point P and R are nearer to the mirror before reflection than points Q and S, so the points P and Q will remain nearer to the mirror in their images also as shown in figure B.
