Answer #1

SOLUTION :


Distance of a star based on difference of apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude can be calculate by using the following formula :


Distance 

= 10 ^[ ((apparent magnitude - absolute magnitude) + 5) / 5 ]

= 10^[ ((4.73 - 4.73) + 5) / 5 ]

= 10^[ 5 / 5]

= 10^1

= 10 parsecs : Option c. (ANSWER)
