Solution
The correct option is A2v towards the mirror If a boy moves with a speed v towards (or away) from a mirror, the image will also move with a speed v towards the mirror with respect to the mirror.
So, relative speed of the image, towards the mirror, with respect to the boy, will be [v−(−v)]=2v
