Answer:

Option A. 160 cm tall and 100 cm in front of Amy

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the the correct answer to the question, we must recognise that the image formed by plane mirror is:

I. Same size as the object.

II. Same distance as the object from the mirror.

III. Laterally inverted.

IV. Virtual

With the above information, we obtained the answer to the question as follow:

Object height = 160 m

Thus,

Image height = 160 m

Distance of object from mirror = 50 cm

Therefore,

Distance of image from the mirror = 50 cm

Distance between the object and image = 50 + 50 = 100 cm

Thus, option A gives the correct answer to the question because the image of Amy is 160 cm tall and 100 cm in front of her.
