An object is placed at a distance of $20 \, cm$ in a rarer medium from the pole of a convex spherical refracting surface of radius of curvature $10 \, cm$. If the refractive index of the rarer medium is $1$ and that of the denser medium is $2$,then the position of the image is at

  • A
    $(40/3) \, cm$ from the pole and inside the denser medium
  • B
    $40 \, cm$ from the pole and inside the denser medium
  • C
    $(40/3) \, cm$ from the pole and outside the denser medium
  • D
    $40 \, cm$ from the pole and outside the denser medium
