A ray of light is incident on a mirror which is lying on the

x - y

$x\text-y$ plane. The reflected ray travels along the direction of the vector

3 \hat{i} - 4 \hat{j} + 2 \hat{k} .

$3\hat i-4\hat j+2\hat k.$ The incident ray must be along:

1.	$-3\hat i+4\hat j+2\hat k$	2.	$3\hat i-4\hat j-2\hat k$
3.	$-3\hat i-4\hat j+2\hat k$	4.	$-3\hat i+4\hat j-2\hat k$
