The velocity of light in air is $3 \times 10^8 \, ms^{-1}$ and that in water is $2.2 \times 10^8 \, ms^{-1}$. The polarising angle of incidence is.......$^o$

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: If the Brewster's angle for the light propagating from air to glass is $\theta_B$,then Brewster's angle for the light propagating from glass to air is $\frac{\pi}{2} - \theta_B$.
Statement $II$: The Brewster's angle for the light propagating from glass to air is $\tan^{-1}(\mu_g)$ where $\mu_g$ is the refractive index of glass.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

$A$ person lives in a high-rise building on the bank of a river $50\, m$ wide. Across the river is a well-lit tower of height $40\, m$. When the person,who is at a height of $10\, m$,looks through a polarizer at an appropriate angle at light of the tower reflecting from the river surface,he notes that the intensity of light coming from a distance $X$ from his building is the least,and this corresponds to the light coming from light bulbs at height $Y$ on the tower. The values of $X$ and $Y$ are respectively close to (refractive index of water $\simeq \frac{4}{3}$)

The angle of incidence at which reflected light is totally polarized for reflection from air to glass (refractive index $n$) is:
