The figure shows a transparent sphere of radius $R$ and refractive index $\mu$. An object $O$ is placed at a distance $x$ from the pole of the first surface so that a real image is formed at the pole of the exactly opposite surface. If an object is placed at a distance $R$ from the pole of the first surface,then the real image is formed at a distance $R$ from the pole of the second surface. The refractive index $\mu$ of the sphere is given by

  • A
    $1.5$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $\sqrt{2}$
  • D
    none of these
