Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
First draw the extension of mirror X and mirror Y as shown. Object O is facing mirror X and therefore based on the extention of mirror X, image 1 is formed at R. Image 1 is facing mirror Y and therefore based on the extention of mirror Y, image 2 is formed at Q. Image 2 will further form image 3 based on mirror X and it will continue forever on the on. But for this question, only Q and R can be the image positions of object O.
