$A$ short straight object of length $l$ lies along the central axis of a spherical concave mirror, at a distance $X$ from the mirror. The focal length of the mirror is $F$. If the length of the image in the mirror is $l^{\prime}$, then the ratio $\left(\frac{l^{\prime}}{l}\right)$ is (assume $l << X$ and $l << F$):

  • A
    $\frac{F-X}{F}$
  • B
    $\left(\frac{F-X}{F}\right)^2$
  • C
    $\left(\frac{F}{F-X}\right)^2$
  • D
    $\frac{F}{X}$

In an experiment to determine the focal length $(f)$ of a concave mirror by the parallax method,a student places the object pin $\text{A}$ on the principal axis at a distance $x$ from the pole $\text{P}$. The student looks at the pin and its inverted image from a distance,keeping his/her eye in line with $\text{PA}$. When the student shifts his/her eye towards the left,the image appears to the right of the pin. Then:
