it would depend on the material of the glass. If it is normal glass (n=1.5) then u are correct, bt if it is some other exotic material then u cannot predict. Most probably u r correct
be cool, n cheers!!

Can u give me the explanation why it becomes four times?

You should feel your preparation of the subject complete only when you are able to reproduce the solutions of the problems without consulting the solutions in the book.
