Solution
The correct option is A n1 > n2 In this case, n1>n2, i.e, medium of concave lens is denser than the medium from where light ray is incident on it.
Therefore , at entering surface, the light ray bends towards the normal n1, while leaving the lens, the ray again goes under refraction at leaving surface and in this situation it bends away from the normal n2.
