Just apply the formula V1/I1 = V2/I2 then we will get the answer.

Logically you are right @Raghu.

Thanks @Mani.

The resistance is constant.

No need to go for calculation 4 like these maths. We know only option to increase current in a give circuit increase voltage. So to increase current voltage must be increased. All other values are less the 24 and only 32 and 320 are higher.

I = 120mA (1mA = 1000 A).
I = 120*1000 A or 12*10000 A.
V = 24v.
R = ?

According to ohm's law (V = IR).

R = V/I.
R = 24/12*10000.

Again,

I = 160*1000A or 16*10000.
R = 24/12*10000.
V = ?

According to ohm's law (V = IR).

V = 16*10000*24/12*10000.
V = 32v.

v1/v2 = I1/I2.

So v2 = 32V.
