(a)

Radiative power of a spherical body is given by

$P=\sigma A T^4$

$=\sigma 4 \pi R^2 T^4$

$\Rightarrow \quad P \propto R^2 T^4$

When temperature is halved and radius is doubled, then power becomes

$P^{\prime} =P \times(2)^2 \times\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^4$

$=P\left(\frac{4}{16}\right)=\frac{P}{4}$

So, power is reduced to $\frac {1}{4}$ th.
