R = K.A.V2 when vehicle speed is about 20km/hr.
Where K = Co-efficient of air resistance.
A = Projected area of vehicle.
V = Vehicle speed in km/hr.
When vehicle speed is about 40km/hr, speed is doubled so we can write V=2V,
Therefore, R = K.A.(2V)2.
R = K.A.4V2.
R = 4K.A.V2.
R= 4R (where, R = K.A.V2)
Where K = Co-efficient of air resistance.
A = Projected area of vehicle.
V = Vehicle speed in km/hr.
When vehicle speed is about 40km/hr, speed is doubled so we can write V=2V,
Therefore, R = K.A.(2V)2.
R = K.A.4V2.
R = 4K.A.V2.
R= 4R (where, R = K.A.V2)

Air Resistance Formula,
F = c x v^2.
For 20 Kmph, Given: F = R & v = 20 Kmph.
R = c x 400.
c = R/400.
For 40 kmph,
F = c x v^2.
F = (R/400) x 1600.
F = 4R.
F = c x v^2.
For 20 Kmph, Given: F = R & v = 20 Kmph.
R = c x 400.
c = R/400.
For 40 kmph,
F = c x v^2.
F = (R/400) x 1600.
F = 4R.

F is directly proportional to v^(3/2)
F= (1/2) (rho) (v^2) (Area) (skin friction coeff).
now, Skin fric coeff= 1.328/ (reynold num.)^(1/2),
and Reynold num = Rho*v*L/mu.
Now putting the value of skin friction Coeff and Reynold number in the main equation.
F= (v^2)/ (v^(1/2)),
F= k. V^(3/2).
So, the correct answer is 2.828R.

The air resistance to a car at 20 kmph is R.
Multiply by 2 at both side,
20 = R.
20*2 = 2*R.
40 = 2R.
Multiply by 2 at both side,
20 = R.
20*2 = 2*R.
40 = 2R.
