Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1.45 \times 10^{9} \,m\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\theta=\frac{ d }{ r }\)

\(\frac{2000}{60 \times 60} \times \frac{\pi}{180}=\frac{ d }{1.5 \times 10^{\prime \prime}}\)

\(\Rightarrow d =\frac{2000}{60 \times 60} \times \frac{\pi}{180} \times 1.5 \times 10^{\prime \prime}\)

\(=\frac{\pi \times 1.5}{3 \times 6 \times 18} \times 10^{\prime \prime}=1.45 \times 10^{9}\)
