  3. C \(22.2 \%\)
  4. D \(11.1 \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(22.2 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f' = f \left( \frac{v + v_o}{v - v_s} \right)\) \(f' = f \left( \frac{v + 0.1v}{v - 0.1v} \right) = f \left( \frac{1.1v}{0.9v} \right) = \frac{11}{9}f\)…
