Strength or Intensity is the inverse-square of distance, thus I = 1c/d2, where c is a constant
So I(A) = 10, 10 = 1c/(2m)2 = c/4
10 = c/4, c = 40
Now distance of B is 4m, so strength of B:

I(B) = \frac{1c}{ {d}^(2) } = \frac{40}{ {4}^(2) } \\ I(B) = (40)/(16) = (5)/(2) = 2.5 \: units
Answer: C) 2.5 units
