One end of a glass rod of refractive index n = 1.5 is a spherical surface of radius of curvature R. The centre of the spherical surface lies inside the glass. A point object placed in air on the axis of the rod at the point P has its real image inside glass at the point Q (see fig.). A line joining the points P and Q cuts the surface at O such that OP = 2OQ. The distance PO is :
