Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
\dfrac{1}{{\lambda}_\min} = R\left(1\right) = R; n = \infty to
\dfrac{1}{{\lambda}_\max} = R\left\{1 - \dfrac{1}{4}\right\} = \dfrac{3R}{4} ; to
{\lambda}_\max - {\lambda}_\min = \dfrac{4}{3R} - \dfrac{1}{R}
......\left(a\right){Y}_{\lambda{'}_\min} = R\left(\dfrac{1}{9}\right){Y}_{\lambda{'}_\max} = R\left(\dfrac{1}{9} - \dfrac{1}{16}\right) = \dfrac{7R}{16 \times 9}{\lambda}^{'}max - {\lambda}^{'}min = \dfrac{16 \times 9}{7R} - \dfrac{9}{R} = \dfrac{81}{7R}
