The refractive index of a prism with apex angle $A$ is $\cot(A/2)$. The angle of minimum deviation is:

$A$ ray of light is incident normally on a prism of refractive index $1.5$,as shown. The prism is immersed in a liquid of refractive index $\mu$. The largest value of the angle $ACB$ such that the ray is totally internally reflected at the face $AC$ is $30^o$. Then the value of $\mu$ must be :
