Given below are statements regarding sign conventions for reflection by spherical mirrors. Select the correct statements.
(i) All distances parallel to the principal axis are measured from the pole of the mirror.
(ii) All the distances measured to the left of the origin (along – x-axis) are taken as positive while those measured to the right of the origin (along + x-axis) are taken as negative.
(iii) Distances measured perpendicular to and above the principal axis (along + y-axis) are taken as positive.
(iv) Distances measured perpendicular to and above the principal axis (along +y-axis) are taken as negative.

[C] Both (i) and (iii)
All the distances measured to the right of the origin (along + x-axis) are taken as positive while those measured to the left of the origin (along – x-axis) are taken as negative.
Distances measured perpendicular and below the principal axis (along -y-axis) are taken as negative.
