Solution

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=360x1
In this case, x = 60 degrees.
Thus, the number of images formed is 5.
