Options:
  • A $\mathrm{hb}_{\mathrm{XY}}=\mathrm{k} \mathrm{b}_{\mathrm{UV}}$
  • B $\mathrm{k} \mathrm{b}_{\mathrm{XY}}=\mathrm{h} \mathrm{b}$
  • C $b_{X Y}=b_{U V}$
  • D $\mathrm{k}^{2} \mathrm{~b}_{\mathrm{XY}}=\mathrm{h}^{2} \mathrm{~b}_{\mathrm{UV}}$

The correct answer is: $\mathrm{k} \mathrm{b}_{\mathrm{XY}}=\mathrm{h} \mathrm{b}$
If $\mathrm{X}$ is changed to $\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{hU}$ and $\mathrm{Y}$ to $\mathrm{b}+\mathrm{k} \mathrm{V}$, then
$\mathbf{b}_{\mathrm{XY}}=\left|\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{k}}\right| \mathrm{b}_{\mathrm{UV}}$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{kb}_{\mathrm{XY}}=\mathrm{h} \cdot \mathrm{b}_{\mathrm{UV}}$
