Solution

The correct option is B θ>90o
The most extreme ray that would interfere with another mirror is the ray which will be directed towards the line of angle bisector.This line will make an angle of 90θ. Now the reflected ray must make some positive angle with the second mirror in order not to interfere with the second mirror.
So the governing equation is: θ2(90θ2) > 0
Above equation implies: θ>90
