We know,

Shear stress/radius = G * angle of twist/L.
So, 50/100=(0.8*10^5)*theta/4000.

From the above equation after solving we will get the value of the angle of twist i.e.
θ = 0.0025.

I have converted the value of Dia to Radius (R=100mm).

So, option (C) is correct.
(1)

By TORSION EQUATION.

T/I=Fs/Ymax=G$/L.
====> Fs/Ymax=G$/L.
====> $=Fs.L/G.Ymax ----> (1).

Here,
Fs=Maximum Shear Stress=50 N/mm2.
And,
Ymax=D/2=20/2=10cm=100mm
And,
G=0.8 x 105 N/mm2.
$=Twisting Moment=? (Required)
L=400cm=4000mm.
Now , Putting the Values in eqn (1).
$=50*4000/[0.8*100000*(100)].
$=0.025.

By Torsion Equation:

T/Ip = Fs/ymax = G$/L.

Where T = Torsion
Ip = Polar moment of inertia
Ymax = Max distance from nuetral axis
G = MODULUS of rigidity
$ = Angle of twist in Radian
Fs = Max shear force.

Hence Fs/Ymax = G$/L So 50/100 = 0.8 * 100000/4000 (All diamension in MM) = 0.0025 Answer.
