Detailed Solution

Here nose of the boy is the object and fish is observer. Using refraction formula, we have
μ2vμ1u=μ2μ1R  where  u=+R,μ1=1,μ2=43,R=R
43v1R=431R v=+2R
Thus, the image of child’s nose will appear at a distance 3R from the centre of the bowl.  The ray diagram is shown in below figure.
