The correct answer is: $0.04 \mathrm{~m}$, upwards
We know that,
Refractive index, $\mu=\frac{\text { Real depth }}{\text { Apparent depth }}$
Here, $\mu=1.5$ and real depth $=$ thickness of glass $\mathrm{slab}=0.12 \mathrm{~m}$
$\therefore \quad \mu=\frac{012}{\text { Apparent depth }}$
Apparent depth $=\frac{0.12}{1.5}=0.08 \mathrm{~m}$
Hence, image appears to be raised by
$$
\frac{0.08}{2} \mathrm{~m}=0.04 \mathrm{~m}
$$

Hence, travelling microscope must be moved upward by $0.04 \mathrm{~m}$.
