Answer: (d)- 1.76 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The first laptop mass was 11 kg
The rate of mass decreases by 4.7% per year
In 1982, it was
[tex]\Rightarrow 11-11\times 4.7\%=11-11\times 0.047\\\Rightarrow 11(1-0.047)\ kg[/tex]
In 1983, it was
[tex]\Rightarrow 11(1-0.047)-11(1-0.047)\times 0.047=11(1-0.047)^2[/tex]
In 2019 i.e. after 38 years, it is
[tex]\Rightarrow 11(1-0.047)^38=11\times 0.953^{38}=1.76\ kg[/tex]
