A particle is in a state $\phi = \psi_1 + 3\psi_2$ where $\psi_1$ and $\psi_2$ are eigenfunctions of the Hamiltonian of the particle with eigenvalues $E_1$ and $E_2$, respectively. The average energy of the particle in the state $\phi$ is

(a)$(E_1 + 9E_2)/10$

(b)$(E_1 + 3E_2)$

(c)$(E_1 + 9E_2)/14$
