Solution

The correct option is A If both Assertion 'and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
The number of image formed is either n=360oθ for n=odd or n1 for n=even

Here, θ=72o

Hence, n=360o72o=5 which is odd.

Hence, number of image formed=5

Hence, both assertion and reason are correct and reason is correct explanation of assertion.
