Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(R \propto A^{1/3}\) \(\frac{R_S}{R_{He}} = \left(\frac{A_S}{A_{He}}\right)^{1/3}\) \(\frac{R_S}{R_{He}} = \left(\frac{32}{4}\right)^{1/3}\) \(\frac{R_S}{R_{He}} = (8)^{1/3}\) \(\frac{R_S}{R_{He}} = 2\)
