Solution

The correct option is A (pq)/p
Coefficient of absorption is defined as the ration of amount of radiation a body absorbs to the amount of radiation that is incident on the body.
Incident radiation = p
Rejected radiation = q
Hence absorbed radiation must be = pq
From the definition of absorptive power it follows that the power = pqp
