(b) $4$

(c) $2$

(d) $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

Answer:

Correct Answer: 262.(b)

Solution:

  1. Range of TV transmitting tower $d=\sqrt{2 h R}$

where, $h$ is the height of the transmission tower. when range is doubled,

$ \begin{aligned} \therefore \quad 2 d & =2 \sqrt{2 h R} \\ & =\sqrt{2(4 h) R} \end{aligned} $

So, height must be multiplied with $4$.
