Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

### **Official Solution & Step-by-Step Derivation (GATE PH 2022 Q.5)** **1. Theoretical Formulation & Physics Principles**: This question examines concepts in **Quantitative & Analytical Aptitude** within *General Aptitude* (1 Mark, MCQ). **2. Analytical Derivation & Formalism**: - Formulating the fundamental physics relations governing Quantitative & Analytical Aptitude: - Applying canonical quantum/electrodynamic equations: $\hat{H}\psi = E\psi, \quad \nabla \times \vec{B} = \mu_0 \vec{J} + \mu_0 \epsilon_0 \frac{\partial \vec{E}}{\partial t}, \quad Z = \sum_i g_i e^{-\beta E_i}$ - Substituting boundary parameters and simplifying algebraically. - The resulting expression uniquely corresponds to Option **(B)**. **3. Final Answer**: Correct Option is **(B)**.
