No, because 哪 ("which") is a question word. When you have a question word in the main sentence, you don't combine it with a question particle (like 吗 or 呢). You use one or the other; not both.
哪(na3) already inducates it is a questional sentence. Other example,我在哪里?where am I? 他在哪里?Where is he? Declarative sentence:他在英国。 He is in UK. If we want to turn it into question, we should add 吗? Then we will get 他在英国吗? Is he in the UK? 他在英国的哪? Where is he in the UK? We want to know the specific area that he stay in UK.
