The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Given:

- i2=200μA i_2 = 200 \, \mu A ,
- θ2=60=π3radians \theta_2 = 60^\circ = \frac{\pi}{3} \, \text{radians} .

The deflection θ \theta is proportional to the current i i . Therefore:

i1i2=θ1θ2.\frac{i_1}{i_2} = \frac{\theta_1}{\theta_2}.

For θ1=π10radians \theta_1 = \frac{\pi}{10} \, \text{radians} :

i1200=π10π3.\frac{i_1}{200} = \frac{\frac{\pi}{10}}{\frac{\pi}{3}}.

Simplify:

i1200=310    i1=200×310=60μA.\frac{i_1}{200} = \frac{3}{10} \implies i_1 = 200 \times \frac{3}{10} = 60 \, \mu A.

The Correct answer is: 60 μA\mu A
