Solution

The correct option is C 20 cms1
Given:
Speed of mirror, vm=10 cms1

Initially,
Let the distance between the object and the mirror be x.
For a plane mirror, object distance is equal to the image distance.

Therefore, distance between object and image:
so=2x

After time t,
Distance between the mirror and the object,
u=xvmt
Distance between object and image after time t:
st=2x2vmt

Distance travelled by image in time t is:
d=sost
d=2vmt

Speed of the image,
vi=dt=2vm
vi=20 cms1.
