Detailed Solution

Concept- By maintaining the point object at a specific distance from the sphere's first surface in order to acquire its image at infinity (since the image is real) from the second surface, we may make a ray diagram.
Given: A transparent sphere of radius R   and refractive index μ   is kept in the air.
To find the distance from the surface of the sphere where a point should be placed so as to form a real image at the same distance from the other side of the sphere
 Using the equation,
μ 2 v μ 1 u = μ 2 μ 1 R  
For the refraction at the first surface of the sphere,
(air to glass)
μ 1 x = μ1 R  , Here x   is the distance of a point object from the sphere, as shown in above fig.
Question Image 1 x = μ1 R x= R μ1  
Hence, the object should be placed this distance from the surface of the sphere in order to get a real image.
Hence, option 3 is correct.
