  1. A both doubled.
  2. B made four times.
  3. C made eight times.
  4. D both halved simultaneously.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) both halved simultaneously.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In an LCR circuit
\(\begin{aligned}
I=\frac{E}{Z} & =\frac{E}{\sqrt{R^2+\left(X_L-X_C\right)^2}} \\
& =\frac{E}{\sqrt{R^2+\left(2 \pi f L-\frac{1}{2 \pi f C}\right)^2}}
\end{aligned}\)
To keep I constant, if f is doubled both L and C should be halved.
