Where is a convex mirror used?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

a in cars
b in a radar
c in a solar cooker
d in a torch light

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: a in cars

A convex mirror gives an upright, smaller image, so it is used as the rear-view mirror of cars to see a large scene in a small space. A torch light has a concave mirror; solar cookers and radar are not in this book.
