The value of charge of a oil drop experementely observed were -1.6 × 10^-19 and -4 ×10^-19 coulomb. The value of electronic charge indicated by these results is [A]1.6×10^-19 [B]-2.4×10^-19 [C]-4×10^-19 [C]-0.8×10^-19

Given Q= -1.6 * 10-19
Using Q=ne
n=1
Thus there is only one electronic charge in that oil droplets.
For second charge,
n = 10/4 
n=2.5 
which means n can be 2 or 3
There may be 2 or 3 electronic charges since charge do not exist in fraction.
Only that charge is exist for which n is natural number.
