Solution

The correct option is A 1.21
Given:
Refractive index of flint glass with respect to air, $n_{f} = 1.65$
Refractive index of alcohol with respect to air $n_{a} = 1.36$

Let the refractive index of flint glass with respect to alcohol be $n_{f a}$ .

From definition of refractive index,
$n_{f a} = \frac{n_{f}}{n_{a}}$
$n_{f a} = \frac{1.65}{1.36} = 1.21$
