A right angled prism of refractive index is placed in a rectangular block of refractive index , which is surrounded by a medium of refractive index , as shown in the figure. A ray of light '' enters the rectangular block at normal incidence. Depending upon the relationships between , and , it takes one of the four possible paths '', '', '' or ''.
Match the paths in List I with conditions of refractive indices in List II and select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists:
