    A)            5    

    B)            6

    C)            7    

    D)            8

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       The walls will act as two mirrors inclined to each other at \[90{}^\circ \]and so will form \[\left( \frac{360}{90}-1 \right)=\]4 ? 1 i.e. 3 images of the person. Now these images with person will act as objects for the ceiling mirror and so ceiling mirror will form \[4\]images further. Therefore total number of images formed \[=3+3+1=7\]                    Note : He can see. \[6\]images of himself.
