$A$ planoconvex lens,when silvered at its plane surface,is equivalent to a concave mirror of focal length $28 \ cm$. When its curved surface is silvered and the plane surface is not silvered,it is equivalent to a concave mirror of focal length $10 \ cm$. The refractive index of the material of the lens is:

  • A
    $9/14$
  • B
    $14/9$
  • C
    $17/9$
  • D
    none
