i =0 , so r1 = 0 & r_{1}+r_{2}= A\Rightarrow r_{2}= A\Rightarrow r_{2}= 30^{\circ}

i_{c}= \sin^{-1}\left ( \frac{1}{n} \right )= \sin^{-1}\left ( \frac{1}{1\cdot 5} \right )= \sin^{-1}\left ( 0\cdot 66 \right )> 30^{\circ}
Since the ray incident on AC at 30^{\circ} , TIR is absent and refraction takes place at AC
