    Luminous Flux (F) = 20,000 lux
    Area (A) = 100 sqm
    Utilization Factor (UF) = 0.5
    Maintenance Factor (M) = 1 (on assumption)

    Illution =
    F × UF × M
    		 =
    20000 × 0.5 × 1
    		 = 100 lux
    A100

    Correct Option: A

    Luminous Flux (F) = 20,000 lux
    Area (A) = 100 sqm
    Utilization Factor (UF) = 0.5
    Maintenance Factor (M) = 1 (on assumption)

    Illution =
    F × UF × M
    		 =
    20000 × 0.5 × 1
