Solution

The correct option is A $10.645 \times 10^{18} J m i n^{- 1}$
$R a d i u s o f E a r t h R_{E} = 6.37 \times 10^{6} m S u r f a c e a r e a n o r m a l t o t h e s u n r a y s = Π \times {R_{E}}^{2} E n e r g y R e c i e v e d = (2 c a l {c m}^{- 2} {m i n}^{- 1}) \times (Π \times {R_{E}}^{2}) \times (4.184 J / c a l) = 10.645 \times 1018 J {m i n}^{- 1}$
