Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1}{9}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(B)
from I \(=n A v_d e\)
\(v_d=\frac{ I }{n A e}\)
\(\begin{array}{l}\therefore \quad v_d \propto \frac{1}{A} \propto \frac{1}{r^2} \\ \therefore \quad \frac{\left(v_d\right)_{ A }}{\left(v_d\right)_{ B }}=\frac{(r)^2}{(3 r)^2}=\frac{1}{9}\end{array}\)
