• C. Remains the same
• D. Large or small epending on the person's age

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Small

Whenever two plane mirrors are kept inclined to each other, multiple reflections take place and more than one image is formed.

If the angle of inclination between two plane mirrors is '$x$' degrees, the number of images formed, '$n$' is given by,

$n=\frac{360}{x}-1$

In this case, $x$ = 60 degrees.

Thus, the number of images formed is 5.
