Answer:
Number of images formed by two mirrors = (n)
Angle of inclination with each other = x
(n) is given by
n = (360/x) - 1
All the three mirrored walls are perpendicular, i.e x = 90 degrees.
considering two adjacent walls, the number of images formed will be
(360/90) - 1
= 4 - 1 = 3
These images formed by the combination of two adjacent walls will be in addition to the object itself
act as objects for the ceiling mirror (totally 4), thus the total number of images formed will be
3 + 4 = 7 images.
