$A$ plane mirror as well as a convex mirror can produce a real image if the object is virtual. How?
(N/A) real image is formed when reflected rays actually intersect at a point.
For a plane or convex mirror,this occurs when a converging beam of light is directed towards the mirror.
The point where these rays would have met behind the mirror acts as a virtual object.
Since the reflected rays converge in front of the mirror,they form a real image at that location.
