Solution

From the laws of reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection.

In the angle of incidence is increased by 10 degrees, then the angle of reflection is also increased by 10 degrees.

Hence, the angle between incident and reflected rays is changed by 10 + 10 = 20 degrees
