  1. A \(\frac{R(n-1)}{n}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\mathrm{R}(\mathrm{n}+1)}{\mathrm{n}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mathrm{R}(\mathrm{n}-1)^2}{\mathrm{n}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\mathrm{R}(\mathrm{n}+1)^2}{\mathrm{n}}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{R(n-1)}{n}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \mathrm{g}' = \mathrm{g} \left(1 - \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{R}}\right) \) \( \frac{\mathrm{g}}{\mathrm{n}} = \mathrm{g} \left(1 - \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{R}}\right) \)
