Problem

A plane mirror is initially at rest. Keeping the incident beam fixed, the mirror is first rotated 5∘5^{\circ} clockwise and then 7∘7^{\circ} anticlockwise about the same axis. By what net angle and in which sense does the final reflected ray deviate from its original direction? (a) 4∘4^{\circ} clockwise (b) 4∘4^{\circ} anticlockwise (c) 24∘24^{\circ} clockwise (d) 2∘2^{\circ} anticlockwise
