In an experiment to determine the focal length $(f)$ of a concave mirror by the $u-v$ method,a student places the object pin $A$ on the principal axis at a distance $x$ from the pole $P$. The student looks at the pin and its inverted image from a distance keeping his/her eye in line with $PA$. When the student shifts his/her eye towards left,the image appears to the right of the object pin. Then,

  • A
    $x < f$
  • B
    $f < x < 2 f$
  • C
    $x = 2 f$
  • D
    $x > 2 f$
