(i) BD is the refracted ray if the liquid taken is benzene

(ii) BC is the refracted ray if the liquid taken is water

Explanation:

The figure is attached.

Given that the refractive index of water and benzene are 1.33 and 1.5 respectively

Therefore, it is clear that water is a rarer medium than benzene

We know that

When a ray of light travels from rarer to denser medium it deflects towards the normal, the denser the medium, the greater is the deflection towards the normal

from the given attached figure it is clear that the ray BD is deflected more towards the normal than that of ray BC

Therefore, BD is the refracted ray if the liquid taken is benzene

And, BC is the refracted ray if the liquid is taken as water

Hope this answer is helpful.
