Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

as \(x=\frac{R(100-\ell)}{\ell}\) \(\text { for (1) } \quad x=\frac{1000 \times(100-60)}{40} \approx 667\) \(\text { for (2) } \quad x=\frac{100 \times(100-13)}{13} \approx 669\) \(\text { for }(\mathrm{3}) \quad x=\frac{10 \times(100-1.5)}{98.5} \approx 656\)…
