Detailed Solution

If an object is at a distance x from a plane refracting surface and is viewed normally then it appears at a distance xμ from the surface where μ is refractive index of that medium (in which it is situated) with respect to the medium in which observer is situated. 

Suppose height of bird from water surface is x and depth of fish from the surface is y then depth of fish, observed by the bird, will be equal to 

r1=x+yμ                                                                       …(1)

where μ is refractive index of water with respect to air. 

                       r1=6.60m

Hence, option (B) is correct. 

Height of bird, observed by fish, will be equal to 

r2=xμ'+y                                                                        …(2)

where μ'is refractive index of air with respect to water. 

Now,                                             μ'=1μ=34

Hence,                                            r2=8.80m

Hence, option (A) is wrong while (C) is correct.
