    A lamp hanging 4 metres above the table is lowered by 1 metre. The illumination on the table:

    A)  decreased by 25%         

    B)  increased by 25%

    C)  decreased by 66.7%

    D)                  increased by 77.7%

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given : \[{{r}_{1}}=4\] metre, so by inverse square rule \[E\propto \frac{1}{{{r}^{2}}}\] \[{{r}_{2}}=3\] metre \[\left( \frac{{{E}_{2}}}{{{E}_{1}}}-1 \right)\times 100=\left( \frac{16}{9}-1 \right)\times 100\]                                 \[=\frac{700}{9}=77.7%\]
