Explanation:
According to the ten percent ( $10 \%$ ) law, during one transfer of energy from organic food from one trophic level to the next, only about ten percent of the energy form the organic matter is stored as flesh. The remaining is lost during transfer, broken down in respiration or lost to incomplete digestion by higher trophic levels.
- In this food chain, the plant absorbs $10 \%$ of solar energy and is mentioned here, that absorbs $20 \mathrm{~J}$ of energy. Only $10 \%$ from this $20 \mathrm{~J}$ is available for the next level, so, the mice will have $(10 \%$ of $20 \mathrm{j}) 2 \mathrm{~J}$ of energy available.
- Now from $10 \%$ from this $2 \mathrm{~J}$ will be available to the next trophic level $(0.2 \mathrm{~J})$ and finally, the peacock will get $10 \%$ of this $0.2 \mathrm{~J}$ of energy which is $0.02 \mathrm{~J}$.
