    Question

    The weight of a circular disc varies directly as the product of the square of the radius and its thickness. Two identical/similar discs have their thickness in the ratio of 16: 9. What is the ratio of their radii if the weight of the first is four times that of the second?

    A.

    3:2

    B.

    2:3

    C.

    1:2

    D.

    2:1

    Correct option is A

    W1W2=r12h1r22h24W2W2=r12×16r22×94×916=r12r2232=r1r2\frac {W_1}{W_2} =\frac{ r_1^2 h_1}{r_2^2 h_2}\\\frac {4W_2}{W_2} =\frac{ r_1^2 \times 16}{r_2^2 \times 9}\\\frac {4 \times 9}{16} =\frac{ r_1^2 }{r_2^2} \\\frac{3}{2}= \frac{ r_1}{r_2}​​
