Question:

Arrange the following steps (A, B, C and D) in proper sequence to determine the index correction in the given arrangement.

(A) The difference between the two gives the correction to be applied to the observed distance.
(B) The positions of the uprights are read on the scale. Their difference gives the observed distance between tip of the pin and the pole of the mirror.
(C) A thin straight index needle OP is placed so that its one end O touches the tip of the pin and the other end P touches the pole of the mirror.
(D) Length of the needle OP is measured by placing it on the scale which is the actual distance between the points in question.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
