Correct Answer: 1

\mathrm{E}_{1}=\phi+\mathrm{K}_{1} \ldots(1)$ \\ $\mathrm{E}_{2}=\phi+\mathrm{K}_{2}$ $\ldots(2)$ \\ $E_{1}-E_{2}=K_{1}-K_{2}$ \\ Now $\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}}=2$ \\ $\frac{\mathrm{K}_{1}}{\mathrm{~K}_{2}}=4$ \\ $\mathrm{K}_{1}=4 \mathrm{~K}_{2}$ \\ Now from equation (2) $\Rightarrow 4-2.5=4 \mathrm{~K}_{2}-\mathrm{K}_{2}$ \\ $1.5=3 \mathrm{~K}_{2}$ \\\ $\mathrm{K}_{2}=0.5 \mathrm{eV}$ \\ Now putting This Value in equation (2) \\ $2.5=\phi+0.5 \mathrm{eV}$ \\ $\phi=2 \mathrm{ev}$
