How to increase the capacity of RAID1 Virtual Drive without loosing data

Once you pair any number of drives together in a Raid 1 configuration, the number of drives cannot be changed.

What if a drive in the RAID1 is faulty and the same size disk not available so will go with the increased sized disk - can't we follow the same exercise to increase the RAID1 VD size as well by replacing disks one at a time?

You can replace the higher capacity disk but can’t use the space raid properties will not allow and it will only be usable of the same size of another or on the size at the time of raid build.
