A horizontal parallel beam of light passes through a vertical convex lens of focal length $20 \mathrm{~cm}$ and is then reflected by a tilted plane mirror so that it converges to a point $\mathrm{I}$. The distance $\mathrm{PI}$ is $10 \mathrm{~cm}$.

$\mathrm{M}$ is a point at which the axis of the lens intersects the mirror. The distance $\mathrm{PM}$ is $10 \mathrm{~cm}$. The angle which the mirror makes with the horizontal is

$\mathrm{M}$ is a point at which the axis of the lens intersects the mirror. The distance $\mathrm{PM}$ is $10 \mathrm{~cm}$. The angle which the mirror makes with the horizontal is
- A$15^{\circ}$
- B$30^{\circ}$
- C$45^{\circ}$
- Correct answerD$60^{\circ}$
Solution

$60^{\circ}$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
