(a) \(M = - \frac{L}{f_0} \left( 1 + \frac{D}{f_e} \right)\)

(b) \(M = - \frac{f_0}{L} \left( 1 + \frac{D}{f_e} \right)\)

(c) \(M = \left( 1 + \frac{D}{f_e} \right)\)

(d) \(M = \left( 1 - \frac{D}{f_e} \right)\)

Answer 1

Correct option is:  (a) \(M = - \frac{L}{f_0} \left( 1 + \frac{D}{f_e} \right)\)
