Can a plane mirror ever produce a real image ? Explain

Plane mirrors always produce virtual images, because they never focus light into a single converging point.

Hence it does not produce real object or image

As power of the plane mirror is zero, hence, it neither converges nor diverges the rays.

Yes,a plane mirror can form a real image. A plane mirror can form a real image only for a virtual object. These converging rays of incidents light after reflection intersect at a point to give a real image.
