\(1\). \(1000\) \(60\)
\(2\). \(100\) \(13\)
\(3\). \(10\) \(1.5\)
\(4\). \(1\) \(1.0\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

as \(x=\frac{R(100-\ell)}{\ell}\)

\(\text { for (1) } \quad x=\frac{1000 \times(100-60)}{40} \approx 667\)

\(\text { for (2) } \quad x=\frac{100 \times(100-13)}{13} \approx 669\)

\(\text { for }(\mathrm{3}) \quad x=\frac{10 \times(100-1.5)}{98.5} \approx 656\)

\(\text { for (4) } \quad x=\frac{1 \times(100-1)}{1} \approx 95\)

So reading in serial no. \((4)\) is completely different hence correct answer \((A).\)
