Find the angle by which the mirror must be rotated such that the reflected ray will be travelling along the vertical (dotted line) as shown in the figure.
[CW - clockwise, CCW - counter-clockwise]

The correct option is C ${105}^{\circ }CCW$
When the plane mirror is not rotated, the reflected ray makes an angle of ${30}^{\circ }$ with the normal, as shown in the figure below.



So, for the reflected ray to become vertical.

Case -I:

Angle by which the reflected ray must be rotated be $\theta ={30}^{\circ }CCW$.

So,

Angle by which mirror must be rotated be $\varphi =\frac{\theta }{2}=\frac{{30}^{\circ }}{2}={15}^{\circ }CCW.$

Case -II :

Angle by which the reflected ray must be rotated be $\theta ={210}^{\circ }CCW$

So,

Angle by which mirror must be rotated be $\varphi =\frac{\theta }{2}=\frac{{210}^{\circ }}{2}={105}^{\circ }CCW.$

Case-III:

Angle by which the reflected ray must be rotated be $\theta ={150}^{\circ }CW$

So,

Angle by which mirror must be rotated be $\varphi =\frac{\theta }{2}=\frac{{150}^{\circ }}{2}={75}^{\circ }CW.$

Case -IV:

Angle by which the reflected ray must be rotated be $\theta ={330}^{\circ }CW$

So,

Angle by which mirror must be rotated be $\varphi =\frac{\theta }{2}=\frac{{300}^{\circ }}{2}={165}^{\circ }CW.$

These are the four cases by which the reflected will be along the vertical.

It is clear that, Case -I and Case -II are valid and Case- III and Case- IV are invalid for a reason that, a mirror can have only one reflecting surface and the other side is coated.

Hence, options (a) and (c) are correct.
