Distance of a bird from a fish, as observed by a fish is x. and distance of the fish from the bird as observed by the bird is y. Then refractive index of water is 

a
xy2−x2
b
xy
c
x2+y2y
d
(1+yx)

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Let H = Actual height of bird above the surface of water and h = Actual depth of fish below the surface of water.∴ h+μH=x.....(1) and H+hμ=y.....(2)∴x=μy⇒μ=xy
