Two plane mirrors are inclined to each other such that an object placed between them has 11 images. Determine the angle of inclination 
30°
45°
60°
90°

Explanation

Formula for number of images = \(\frac{360}{n} - 1\)

where n is the angle of inclination.

Given the number of images = 11, we have

\(\frac{360}{n} - 1 = 11\)

\(\frac{360}{n} = 12\)

\(n = \frac{360}{12} =30°\)
