Solution

The correct option is A $μ_{1} > μ_{2}$
Let us assume that the refractive index of the upper part of the lens is $μ_{1}$ and the lower part is made up of a material having a refractive index $μ_{2}$ . The more the refractive index more the light refracted, hence it can be observed that the light passing through $μ_{1}$ is more refracted than the light passing through the refractive index $μ_{2}$ . Therefore it can be concluded that the refractive index of the upper part is more than the lower part of the lens. That means $μ_{1} > μ_{2}$ .
