Solution

The correct options are
A 70
D 110
If the plane mirror is rotated by 10 degrees about O in the anti-clockwise direction then the angle between the incident and reflected rays will be reduced by 20 degrees. So the angle between incident and reflected ray will be 70 degrees.
If the plane mirror is rotated by 10 degrees in clockwise direction, then the angle between the incident and reflected rays increases by 20 degrees and becomes 110 degrees.
