Solution

The correct option is A 2v 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
