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:

  • A
    $x < f$
  • B
    $f < x < 2f$
  • C
    $x = 2f$
  • D
    $x > 2f$
