Detailed Solution

$If θ is small then \sin θ ≅ θ and \cos θ ≅ 1,$
$\begin{array}{l} \Rightarrow μ = \frac{\sin i}{\sin r} = \frac{i}{r} \Rightarrow r = \frac{i}{μ} \\ x = \frac{tsin (i - r)}{\cos r} = \frac{t (i - r)}{1} = t (i - \frac{i}{μ}) = ti (\frac{μ - 1}{μ}) \\ \begin{matrix} i = θ \\ μ = n \end{matrix} i.e. x = \frac{t θ (n - 1)}{n} \end{array}$
