If a ray is not thrown normally to a plane mirror, then the reflected ray can be taken in screen. The image of the light source will be formed in front of the advancing reflected ray formed in accordance with the first law of reflection. Since this image is capable of being obtained in a screen, it is a real image. So under this condition, a plane mirror can also produce a real image.

According To Me Most Of The Times If The Object Is Real, Image Is Virtual And If The Image Is Real Object Is Virtual.

The question was whether a plane mirror can produce only virtual images or not. It can create real images under some conditions. Therefore, the statement is false. However, nice approach.
