$A$ ball is dropped from a height of $20 \,m$ above the surface of water in a lake. The refractive index of water is $4/3$. $A$ fish inside the lake, in the line of fall of the ball, is looking at the ball. At an instant, when the ball is $12.8 \,m$ above the water surface, the fish sees the speed of the ball as (Take $g = 10 \,m/s^2$): (in $\,m/s$)

  • A
    $9$
  • B
    $12$
  • C
    $16$
  • D
