In determining the refractive index of a glass slab using a travelling microscope,the following readings are tabulated:
$(a)$ Reading of travelling microscope for ink mark $= 5.123 \ cm$
$(b)$ Reading of travelling microscope for ink mark through glass slab $= 6.123 \ cm$
$(c)$ Reading of travelling microscope for chalk dust on glass slab $= 8.123 \ cm$
From the data,the refractive index of a glass slab is:

• A
  $1.5$
• B
  $1.601$
• C
  $1.399$
• D
  $1.39$
