A virtual image larger than the object can be produced by a
(i) concave lens (ii) concave mirror (iii) convex mirror (iv) plane mirror


Concave mirrors produce real and virtual, erect and inverted, diminished same sized and magnified image depending upon the position of the object on the principal axis. But the concave mirror forms a virtual and enlarged image when the object is placed between the Focus and the pole of the mirror.
A concave lens always produces virtual, erect, and diminished images, and the decrease in the size of the image depends on the position of the object.
Convex mirrors always produce a virtual, erect, and diminished image and the decrease in size of the image depends on the position of the object in front of the mirror.
Plane Mirrors always produce a virtual and erect image having the same size as that of the object irrespective of the position of the object.
Hence, the correct answer is OPTION (ii).
