Solution

The correct option is B 1000 units
The dimensional formula of energy is E=M1L2T2

Let E1 and E2 be the old and new energy value in given unit systems
E1E2=M11L21T21M11L22T22

Given:
M2=2M1

L2=2L1

T2=2T1

From equations above:

E1E2=12E2=2E1

E2=2×500

E2=1000 units

Option A is correct.
