Dear student,
Infinite number of images are formed between the three plane
mirrors of same size Because it is a closed structure and continuos
reflection of light rays will result in formation of images(images
of images )

Theoretically there
shall be infinite images as every virtual image there shall one ore
more virtual images formed by other mirror/s
Practically
the remote images may not be visible This is
demonstrated in kaleidoscope
