I think the answer is 70cm from the source.


Look at the figure. The last reflection of a ray coming out from the source S can take place only from the tip of the mirror and by similarity and congruence of triangles, you can easily see that maximum distance from the source = H/2 + H/2 = H


Hope I am correct.



The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.

It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.
