Concept:

Image frequency: The signal which causes interference is called ‘image frequency’

Image frequency and intermediate frequency is related as follows:

fsi = fs + 2 IF

fs: carrier frequency of the tuned station

fsi: image frequency

IF: Intermediate frequency

Calculation:

Given intermediate frequency (I.F) = 455 kHz

Tuned signal frequency is fs = 1000 kHz

Image frequency is

fsi = 1000 kHz + 2 × 455 kHz

fsi = 1910 kHz
