Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Number of images when an object is placed symmetrically between plane mirrors inclined at an angle \(\theta\), is given as \[ n=\frac{360}{\theta}-1 \] Here, \[ \begin{array}{ll} \text { Here, } & \theta=90^{\circ} \\ \therefore & n=\frac{360}{90}-1=4-1=3 \end{array} \]
