Solution

The correct option is A


For a prism, as the angle of incidence increases, the angle of deviation first decreases goes to a minimum value and then increases.

It is found that the angle of deviation becomes minimum when the angle of incidenece is equal to angle of emergence

Deviation is minimum,
when i = e
or r1=r2
δmin=i+eA=2iA (i = e)
