1.25*10^5/.5*1000 = 25*10^5.

Es = (1.18XPa)/(0.5/100)
Es= 2.95X10power6N/sqm.
So answer is option E.
Es= 2.95X10power6N/sqm.
So answer is option E.

E = (1.18Pa)/0.005.

Deflection = (pressure x area of contact)/E.
0.005 = (1.25 x 10^5 x 0.1)/E.
E = none of the above.
0.005 = (1.25 x 10^5 x 0.1)/E.
E = none of the above.
