If Assertion is true but Reason is false.

(A) The mirror formula $\frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{f}$ is derived using the paraxial approximation,which assumes that the rays are close to the principal axis and the mirror aperture is small compared to the radius of curvature. Thus,the Assertion $(A)$ is true.The laws of reflection (angle of incidence equals angle of reflection) are fundamental laws of optics and are valid for any reflecting surface,whether plane or spherical,regardless of size. Therefore,the Reason $(R)$ is false.

Assertion $(A):$ The relation among $u, v$ and $f$ for a spherical mirror is valid only for mirrors whose sizes are very small compared to their radii of curvature.
Reason $(R):$ The laws of reflection are strictly valid for plane surfaces but not for large spherical surfaces.

$A$ concave mirror of radius of curvature $R$ has a circular outline of radius $r$. $A$ circular disc is to be placed normal to the axis at the focus,so that it collects all the light that is reflected from the mirror from a beam parallel to the axis. For $r \ll R$,the area of this disc has to be at least
