Answer 1

The correct answer is - 4 jelly beans.

Step-by-step explanation:

Weber's law or Weber-Fechner law states that the just noticeable change in any case or sense is a constant ratio of the original stimulation which is considered or judged. In more understandable way the noteceable change would be always same as the constant ratio or proportion of the orignal case or stimulus.

For instance, Giulio is able to notice the difference in the two jelally benas difference in the 50 jeally bean bag similarly he will be able to notice change in minimum 4 number of jelly bean in 100 jeally bean bag. 2 is double in ratio as 100 is double in ratio of 50 so the stimulus and change is constant.
