Answer:The correct answer is option D.

Explanation;

Ideal mechanical advantage is defined as ratio of force exerted by the machine to the force applied on the machine.


I.M.A=(Force_(out))/(Force_(in))


I.M.A=4=(Force_(out))/(6.0 N)

Output force = 24 Newtons

Hence,the correct answer is option D.
