A plane mirror forms a virtual image behind the mirror, at the same distance at which the object is placed in front of the mirror.
So, A will form image A’
P will form image P’ , Q will form image Q’ and R will form image R’
Since mirror is not between A and A’,
∴ Boojho at A cannot see his reflection.
Similarly,
Since mirror is not between R and R’,
∴ Boojho at A cannot see reflection of point R.
But he can see images of point P and Q
