Thank you for the help

Answer 2

I think the answer is (b) 10000joule

Food chain:-Grass-----Grass hopper-----Frog------snake-----hawk 

so according to the ten percent law if hawk get 1 joule then snake get 10 joule,frog get 100joule,grass hopper gets 1000joule and grass gets 10000 joule.

Thanku
