Question : If A : B = 3 : 2, B : C = 7 : 5 and C : D = 10 : 3, then what is A : D equal to?
Option 1: 7 : 1
Option 2: 1 : 7
Option 3: 4 : 3
Option 4: 3 : 4
Correct Answer: 7 : 1
Solution : A : B = 3 : 2, B : C = 7 : 5 and C : D = 10 : 3 So, $\frac{A}{B}×\frac{B}{C}×\frac{C}{D}=\frac{3}{2}×\frac{7}{5}×\frac{10}{3}$ $⇒ \frac{A}{D}=\frac{7}{1}$ $⇒A:D=7:1$ Hence, the correct answer is 7 : 1.

Option 1: 1.4
Option 2: 0.7
Option 3: 2.8
Option 4: 2.1
Correct Answer: 1.4
Solution : Let the radius be $r$. The total surface area of a sphere = $4\pi r^2$ ⇒ $6.16=4\pi r^2$ ⇒ $6.16=4×\frac{22}{7}×r^2$ ⇒ $r^2=\frac{49}{100}$ $\therefore r=0.7$ cm Diameter = $2×r=2×0.7=1.4$ cm Hence, the correct answer is 1.4.
