A. 5 \%
B. 20 \%
C. 21 \%
D. 10 \%

D. 10 \%

Correct answer is B.

Given,
\frac{\Delta \mathrm{L}}{\mathrm{L}}=10 \%
The expression for the rotational kinetic energy in terms of angular momentum,
\mathrm{K}=\frac{\mathrm{L}^{2}}{2 \mathrm{I}} \cdots \ldots(1)
where, \mathrm{L}= angular momentum.
\mathrm{I}= moment of inertia
\mathrm{K}= rotational kinetic energy
From equation (1),
\begin{array}{l} \frac{\Delta \mathrm{K}}{\mathrm{K}}=2 \frac{\Delta \mathrm{L}}{\mathrm{L}} \\ \frac{\Delta \mathrm{K}}{\mathrm{K}}=2 \times 10=20 \% \end{array}
