Worked Solution

Step 1: In a plane mirror, the distance from the object to the mirror equals the distance from the image to the mirror. Step [2-9]: If Siti moves 2m back, the image also moves 2m back from its side. Step [2-9]: The total distance increase between Siti and her image is 2m + 2m = 4m.

Correct answer: 4 metres
