In finding out the refractive index of a glass slab,the following observations were made through a travelling microscope: $50$ vernier scale divisions $= 49$ $MSD$; $20$ divisions on the main scale in each $cm$. For a mark on paper:
$MSR = 8.45 \ cm, VC = 26$
For the mark on paper seen through the slab:
$MSR = 7.12 \ cm, VC = 41$
For a powder particle on the top surface of the glass slab:
$MSR = 4.05 \ cm, VC = 1$
($MSR =$ Main Scale Reading,$VC =$ Vernier Coincidence)
The refractive index of the glass slab is:

  • A
    $1.42$
  • B
    $1.52$
  • C
    $1.24$
  • D
    $1.35$
