Answer:
C ) 1.53
Explanation:
The critical angle of a material is given by the formula

where
c is the critical angle
n is the refractive index
This formula is valid if the second medium is air (which is the case of the problem).
In this problem, we know the critical angle:

Therefore we can rearrange the equation to find the refractive index:

Answer:
t = 180 / 1.4 = 129 sec (time to swim horizontally across river)
S = 129 sec * V where V is speed of current and S is the distance he will be carried downstream
The problem does not specify V the speed of the river
