The potential divider in the figure above is formed from a light dependent resistor (LDR) and a resistor (R). The LDR has a resistance of 5\ 000\ \Omega in the dark and 50\ \Omega in bright light. The potential at A changes from near zero in the dark to 8\text{ V} in bright light. The value of the resistor R is

  1. (A)12.5\ \Omega
  2. (B)150\ \Omega
  3. (C)200\ \Omega
  4. (D)20\ 000\ \Omega
