A point light source shines equally in all directions. The light intensity measured at a sensor is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source.
When the distance is 6 meters, the intensity is 8 units.
Select for Distance a distance in meters and select for Intensity an intensity in units that would be jointly consistent with the given information, Make only two selections, one in each column.

A point light source shines equally in all directions. The light intensity measured at a sensor is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source.
When the distance is 6 meters, the intensity is 8 units.
Select for Distance a distance in meters and select for Intensity an intensity in units that would be jointly consistent with the given information, Make only two selections, one in each column.
We are given that the intensity is inversely proportional to the square of distance, so Intensity = k/Distance^2, where k is a constant.
Since when D = 6 meters, I = 8 units, we have 8 = k/6^2, which gives k = 288.
Now check the options to find a pair (D, I) such that I = 288/D^2. Only (12, 2) fits. Thus, Distance = 12 meters and Intensity = 2 units.

Intensity is inversely proportional to distance^2 from source
Let x is a constant
I=x/(d^2)
x= I.d^2
When d=6, i is 8 units
x= 8*(6^2)=288
Check given options
If d=4...Intensity= 288/16=18
If d=12...Intensity= 288/144=2.......available in options
Distane= 12 and Intensity= 2
