A man sits in an optician’s chair, looking into a plane mirror which is 2 m away from him and views the image of a chart which faces the mirror and is 50 cm behind his head. How far away from his eyes does the chart appear to be?

Distance between the man and the mirror = 2 cm

Distance between man and chart = 50 cm = 0.5 m

Distance between chart and mirror = 0.5 m + 2 m

= 2.5 m

Distance between mirror and the image of the chart = 2.5 m

Distance between man and the image of chart = Distance between man and the mirror + Distance between mirror and the image of the chart

= 2 m + 2.5 m

= 4.5 m
