Answer:

If the ray of light is deflected by 45 degrees by the first mirror its total deflection by mirror (I) is 90 deg. (incident = 45 and exit ray equals 45 deg)

The second mirror will cause a net deflection of 90 degrees and the total deflection will be 180 deg or in opposite direction to the incident ray.
