Solution

The correct option is A 10
Given:
Force (f)=40 N=40 kgms2

If units of length and time are halved and unit of mass is doubled,
Let new units be kg,m,s
1 kg=2 kg
1 m=0.5 m
1 s=0.5 s

then the value of force in the new system of units will be

f=40 N=40×⎢ ⎢ ⎢ ⎢kg2×2 m122 s12⎥ ⎥ ⎥ ⎥

f=10 units

Hence, option (A) is the right answer.
