The radiant energy from the sun incident normally at the surface of the earth is $20 \, kcal/(m^2 \cdot min)$. What would have been the radiant energy incident normally on the earth,if the sun had a temperature twice of the present one? (in $kcal/(m^2 \cdot min)$)

Suppose the sun expands so that its radius becomes $100$ times its present radius and its surface temperature becomes half of its present value. The total energy emitted by it then will increase by a factor of
