Solution

The correct option is A Degree of convergence of light rays is greater in mirror 'A' than mirror 'B'.
The radius of curvature of spherical mirrors determines its degree of convergence. Since the radius of curvature of mirror A is less than mirror B, the degree of convergence for mirror A will be more than mirror B.
