Best answer

(i) Convex mirror 

(ii) Concave mirror 

Justification: 

(i) Convex mirror is used as a rear view mirror because: 

(a) it gives a wider field of view as it is curved outwards and 

(b) it produces erect and diminished image of the traffic behind the driver of the vehicle. 

(ii) Concave mirror is used as a shaving mirror to see a large size image of the face. When the object lies in between pole and principal focus of a concave mirror, it forms a virtual, erect and enlarged image behind it.
