- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
- For two plane mirrors inclined at an angle , the number of images formed is given by:
when is an integer.
- Here, the angle between the mirrors is:
So,
Since this is an integer, we use:
- Therefore, the number of images formed is:
- Checking options:
- A: ✅
- B: ❌
- C: ❌
- D: ❌
Hence, the correct option is A.
