Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(44 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hints: \(\mathrm{K}=\frac{\mathrm{P}^2}{2 m}\) Here \(\mathrm{P}^{\prime}=1.2 \mathrm{P}\) Hence, \(K^{\prime}=\frac{(1.2 \mathrm{P})^2}{2 m}\) \[ \mathrm{K}^{\prime}=1.44 \frac{\mathrm{P}^2}{2 m} \] \(\mathrm{K}^{\prime}=1.44 \mathrm{~K}\) or Percentage increase in…
