$A$ lamp rated at $100 \, cd$ hangs over the middle of a round table with diameter $3 \, m$ at a height of $2 \, m$. It is replaced by a lamp of $25 \, cd$ and the distance to the table is changed so that the illumination at the centre of the table remains as before. The illumination at the edge of the table becomes $X$ times the original. Then $X$ is

  • A
    $\frac{1}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{16}{27}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{4}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{9}$
