Final answer:

The sequence of reflections is through a concave converging mirror parallel to its axis, a convex diverging mirror parallel to its axis, through the center of a mirror, and no reflection.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence of reflections performed on the points are as follows:

  1. First reflection through a concave converging mirror parallel to its axis, reflected through the focal point on the same side.
  2. Second reflection through a convex diverging mirror parallel to its axis, reflected so that it seems to come from the focal point behind the mirror.
  3. Third reflection through the center of a mirror, following the law of reflection, making the same angle with the axis when leaving as when approaching.
  4. No reflection is performed on the points.
