Correct Answer - D
`i=(pi)/(2),e=(pi)/(4),A=(pi)/(4)`
`(sini)/(sin r_(1))=(sine)/(sinr_(2))=mu`
`rArr sinr_(1)=(1)/(mu) and sinr_(2)=(1)/(sqrt2mu)` Since `r_(1)+r_(2)=A=(pi)/(4) rArr r_(1)=(pi)/(4)-r_(2)`
`rArr sinr_(1) =(1)/(sqrt2)cosr_(2)- (1)/(sqrt2)sinr_(2)`
`=sqrt2 sinr_(1)+sinr_(2)=cosr_(2)`
`=(sqrt2)/(mu)+(1)/(sqrt2mu)=sqrt(1-(1)/(2mu^(2)))= (1)/(mu^(2))(2+(1)/(2)+2)=1-(1)/(2mu^(2))`
`= (1)/(mu^(2))((9)/(2)+(1)/(2))=1`
`mu^(2)=5rArr mu=sqrt5 `.
