Solution

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

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

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

f=10 N=10×⎢ ⎢ ⎢ ⎢ ⎢2 kg1×1 m21 s222⎥ ⎥ ⎥ ⎥ ⎥

f=40 units

Hence, option (A) is the right answer.
