  2. B 3 W
  3. C 2 W
  4. D W
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 4 W

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(W = \frac{1}{2}C(24^2 - 12^2) = \frac{1}{2}C(576 - 144) = \frac{1}{2}C(432)\) \(W' = \frac{1}{2}C(48^2 - 24^2) = \frac{1}{2}C(2304 - 576) = \frac{1}{2}C(1728)\) \(W' = \frac{\frac{1}{2}C(1728)}{\frac{1}{2}C(432)} W = \frac{1728}{432} W = 4W\)
