Detailed Solution

(1)  n3<n1 so critical angle decreases. Therefore, TIR will take place at AB.

(2)  n3>n1, so critical angle increases. Therefore, TIR will not take place.

(3)  If n3>n2, then TIR will take place at CD and if n3>n1, then TIR will take place at AB.

(4)  TIR will not take place at face CD for n3<n1 because ray is going from rarer to denser medium.
