The energy required per unit mass to grind limestone particles of very large size to 100 μm is 12.7 kWh/ton. An estimate (using Bond's law) of the energy to grind the particles from a very large size to 50 μrn is
6.35 kWh/ton
9.0 kWh/ton
18 kWh/ton
25.4 kWh/ton
Answer: Option

Bond's law:

P/m = Kb/(Dp)^0.5.
Dp is in mm.

For 100 micrometer i.e. 100*10^-3 mm.

12.7 = Kb/(100*10^-3)^0. 5.
Kb = 4.016.

For 50 micrometer i.e. 50*10^-3 mm.

P/m = 4.016/(50*10^-3)^0.5.
P/m = 17.96 Kwh/ton.
