$A$ tank is filled with water to a height of $12.5 \, cm$. The apparent depth of a needle lying at the bottom of the tank is measured by a microscope to be $9.4 \, cm$. If water is replaced by a liquid of refractive index $1.63$ up to the same height,what will be the apparent depth of the needle in $cm$?

  • A
    $10.89$
  • B
    $15.83$
  • C
    $7.67$
  • D
    $5.29$
