(A) 40

(E) 10,000

10 increase in magnitute represents a tenfold increase in intensity
10 increase ---- Factor number by 10
20 increase ----- factor by 10 * Factor by 10
40 increase ----- factor by 10*factor by 10* factor by 10* factor by 10 = 10,000

Since 125 is 40 away from 165, the intensity of 165 is 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 10,000 times that of 125.

Answer: E
