<img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/physics/ef643be6b9ca809dc00154f7359be6bc-.png" /> I1 is the image of O in M2 . I2 is the image of O in M1 . I3 is the image of I1 in M1. The distance of three images from M2 are 2 cm , 18 cm , 22 cm respectively.

Q. Given figure shows two plane mirrors and an object $O$ placed between them. What will be distance of the first three images from the mirror $M_{2}$ ?

2 cm , 8 cm , 14 cm

2 cm , 12 cm , 18 cm

2 cm , 18 cm , 22 cm

2 cm , 24 cm , 38 cm

$I_{1}$ is the image of $O$ in $M_{2} . I_{2}$ is the image of $O$ in $M_{1} . I_{3}$ is the image of $I_{1}$ in $M_{1}$ . The distance of three images from $M_{2}$ are $2 c m, 18 c m, 22 c m$ respectively.
