The correct answer is: $2 \mathrm{~V}$
Given, velocity of aeroplane,
$$
\begin{aligned}
v &=360 \mathrm{kmh}^{-1} \\
&=360 \times \frac{5}{18} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}=100 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}
\end{aligned}
$$
Distance between the tips of wings,
$$
l=50 \mathrm{~m}
$$
Vertical component of earth's magnetic field,
$$
\begin{aligned}
&B_{V}=4 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{Wbm}^{-2} \\
&\begin{aligned}
\therefore \text { Induced emf, } e &=B_{V} v l \\
&=4 \times 10^{-4} \times 100 \times 50=2 \mathrm{~V}
\end{aligned}
\end{aligned}
$$
