a

Total deviation suffered by ray (refraction + reflection + refraction) is minimum when  ϕ=60°.

b

Total internal reflection at back surface is not possible for any value of ϕ.

c

Ray suffers total internal reflection at back surface. 

d

When angle of incidence is chosen such that total deviation is minimum, then value of total deviation is 136°.

1sinϕ=72sinr1andδ=2(ϕr1)+π2r1

δ  is min. when  dδdϕ=0dr1dϕ=12
Since rays enters from air to glass     r2θc
Thus no TIR from back surface
