  2. B \(27\)
  3. C \(12\)
  4. D \(3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(27\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(T ^{2} \propto R ^{3}\) \(\left(\frac{ T ^{\prime}}{ T }\right)^{2}=\left(\frac{9 R }{ R }\right)^{3}\) \(T ^{2}= T ^{2} \times 9^{3}\) \(T ^{\prime}= T \times 3^{3}\) \(T ^{\prime}=27 T\)
