Answer 2

The room will appear double large than the real room.

• The mirror covers a whole wall of the room and the height of the room should be equally distributed over the whole area of the room.

• Now,the minimum height of the mirror which is required to get the full size image of the object,is half of the height of the main object.

• Here,the size of the mirror is equal to the size of the opposite wall,so we can expect the full size image of the whole room will be created in that mirror.

• So,the real full room and the full room in the reflected image will create a double sized room than the real room.
