Answer:

The value of R is [tex]1.72\times10^{11}\ m[/tex].

(B) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

In analyzing distances by apply ing the physics of gravitational forces, an astronomer has obtained the expression

[tex]R=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{(\dfrac{1}{140\times10^{9}})^2-(\dfrac{1}{208\times10^{9}})^2}}[/tex]

We need to calculate this for value of R

[tex]R=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{(\dfrac{1}{140\times10^{9}})^2-(\dfrac{1}{208\times10^{9}})^2}}[/tex]

[tex]R=1.89\times10^{11}\ m[/tex]

So, The nearest option of the value of R is [tex]1.72\times10^{11}\ m[/tex]

Hence, The value of R is [tex]1.72\times10^{11}\ m[/tex].
