Detailed Solution

A ray of light will bend most through glycerine.
The refractive Index is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in the medium. Mathematically,
Refractive index=Speed of light in a vacuumspeed of light in the medium
Ray of light bends maximum in the liquid having the highest refractive Index. The Refractive index of liquids is given in the options:
Kerosene: 1.44        Water: 1.0003 Mustard oil: 1.464       Glycerine: 1.473 The refractive index of glycerine is maximum. Thus light bends at a maximum angle in glycerine.
