Detailed Solution

(A) Total deviation due to two reflection.

d=3602θ

240=3602θ

θ=60°

(B) 360θ=6 This is even. As the object is placed symmetrically

between the mirrorsN=360θ1=5

(C)If the object is placed un symmetricallyN=360θ=36060=6

(D) When a ray incidents on M1at60°  it falls onM2  normally as

shown in figure.
