What is the largest index of refraction that the liquid can have, such that none of the light is transmitted into the liquid and all of it is reflected back into the glass?
A ray of light is travelling in glass and strikes a glass/liquid interface. The angle of incidence is 51.0°, and the index of refraction of glass is n = 1.50.

The following condition must be satisfied
Refractive index of glass
Total internal reflection occurs only when the ray of light is traveling from a denser to rarer medium.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
