Solution
The correct option is A130∘
Angle made by incident ray with plane mirror ∠ABM=25∘ OB is the normal to the plane mirror
Angle of incidence ∠ABO=90∘−25∘=65∘
Using law of reflection
Angle of incidence ∠ABO= Angle ofreflection ∠CBO
So angle of reflection ∠CBO=65∘
Angle between incident and reflected ray ∠ABC=65∘+65∘=130∘
