Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(i=K \theta\)
\(\frac{2}{G+R}=K \theta\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\theta}=\frac{(G+R) K}{2}=R\left(\frac{K}{2}\right)+\frac{K G}{2}\)
\(\text {Slope }=\frac{K}{2}=\frac{1}{4} \Rightarrow K=0.5=5 \times 10^{-1} A\)
