  1. A decrease by 8.3 %
  2. B increase by 8.3 %
  3. C decrease by 21.5%
  4. D remain unaffected
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) decrease by 8.3 %

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( S_V = S_I / R \) \( S_I' = 1.10 S_I \) \( R' = 1.20 R \) \( S_V' = S_I' / R' = (1.10 S_I) / (1.20 R) = (11/12) (S_I / R) = (11/12) S_V \) \( \% \Delta S_V = ((S_V' - S_V) / S_V) \times 100\% \)…
