  1. A \(\frac{1}{11} \mathrm{I}\)
  2. B \(\frac{2}{11} \mathrm{I}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{10} \mathrm{I}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{5} \mathrm{I}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{11} \mathrm{I}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} \frac{\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{g}}}{\mathrm{I}} & =\frac{\mathrm{S}}{\mathrm{S}+\mathrm{G}}=\frac{0.1 \mathrm{G}}{0.1 \mathrm{G}+\mathrm{G}}=\frac{1}{11} \\ \therefore \quad \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{g}} & =\frac{1}{11} \mathrm{I}\end{aligned}\)
