  • When white light passes from prism, it is dispersed as VIBGYOR
  • And, color of the sky is blue

 

In this question , we want the case where Blue is the 3rd color from top.

  • In a normal prism, 3rd color from top is Yellow
  • But, in an i nverted prism , 3rd color from top is Blue. Thus, image (ii) is correct

Splitting of light in prism is kept in different orientation-01.jpg

So, the correct answer is (b)
