When sunlight falls normally on Earth,a luminous flux density (illuminance) of $1.57 \times 10^5 \; lm/m^2$ is produced on Earth. If the distance of Earth from the Sun is $1.5 \times 10^8 \; km$,what is the total luminous flux emitted by the Sun?

  • A
    $4.43 \times 10^{25} \; lm$
  • B
    $4.43 \times 10^{26} \; lm$
  • C
    $4.43 \times 10^{27} \; lm$
  • D
    $4.43 \times 10^{28} \; lm$

$A$ lamp rated at $100 \, cd$ hangs over the middle of a round table with diameter $3 \, m$ at a height of $2 \, m$. It is replaced by a lamp of $25 \, cd$ and the distance to the table is changed so that the illumination at the centre of the table remains as before. The illumination at the edge of the table becomes $X$ times the original. Then $X$ is
