Dear student
Please find below the solution to the asked query:

(i) For a point object the image will also be a point size of same size and at the same distance from the mirror.
(ii) For an eluded object the image is also travel with the same speed in same time travel equal distance but behind the mirror.
See the following figure to understand it.

Position 1 and 2 represents two different positions of objects (in front of mirror) and their respective images (behind the mirror) at two instances.
