Immiscible transparent liquids $A, B, C, D$ and $E$ are placed in a rectangular glass container,forming layers based on their densities. The refractive indices of the liquids are given in the table below. The container is illuminated from the side,and a small piece of glass with a refractive index of $1.61$ is gently dropped into the liquid layers. In which liquid will the glass piece not be visible as it descends?
| Liquid | Refractive Index |
| :--- | :--- |
| $A$ | $1.51$ |
| $B$ | $1.53$ |
| $C$ | $1.61$ |
| $D$ | $1.52$ |
| $E$ | $1.65$ |

$A$ tank is filled with water to a height of $12.5 \, cm$. The apparent depth of a needle lying at the bottom of the tank is measured by a microscope to be $9.4 \, cm$. If water is replaced by a liquid of refractive index $1.63$ up to the same height,what will be the apparent depth of the needle in $cm$?

The refractive indices of glass and water with respect to air are $3/2$ and $4/3$ respectively. The refractive index of glass with respect to water is:
