Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Statement \(- 1\) and statement \(-2\) are true and
Statement \(-2\) is correct explanation for statement \(-1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

One side of mirror is opaque and another side is reflecting this is not in case of lens
hence, it is easier to provide mechanical support to large size mirrors than large size lenses. Reflecting telescopes are based on the same principle except that the formation of images takes place by reflection instead of refraction.
