  1. A 1.6
  2. B 1.5
  3. C 1.45
  4. D 1.875
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 1.6

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( P = (n-1) \left( \frac{1}{R_1} - \frac{1}{R_2} \right) \) \( 12 = (n-1) \left( \frac{1}{0.1} - \frac{1}{-0.1} \right) \) \( 12 = (n-1) (10 + 10) \) \( 12 = (n-1) (20) \) \( n-1 = \frac{12}{20} = 0.6 \) \( n = 1.6 \)
