Answer #1

Answer -

0.60 is the right answer.

Ignoring the effect of inflation over this 5-year period, we are told that

Price of 5000 gallon tank / Price of 2000 gallon tank = (5000/2000)^power sizing exponent

= 86643/50000 = 2.5^power sizing exponent

Lests assume the give choice

1.73286 = 2.5^0.60

Hence Power sizing exponent = 0.60
