Each of the questions given below consists of a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements sufficient to answer the question. Read both the statements and give answer:
There are two cylindrical rollers-bigger and smaller. How many rotations will the bigger roller take to flatten a strech of land (X)?
The respective ratio of the radii of the bigger and the smaller rollers is 7:3. Both the rollers are of the same length.
II. The smaller roller takes 63 rotations to flatten the stretch of land (X).

A

if the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question.

B

if the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.

C

if the data in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.

D

if the data in both the statements I and II together are sufficient to answer the question.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine how many rotations the bigger roller will take to flatten a stretch of land (X) based on the information provided in the two statements. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Problem**: We have two cylindrical rollers, one bigger and one smaller. We need to find out how many rotations the bigger roller takes to flatten a stretch of land (X). 2. **Analyze Statement I**: - The ratio of the radii of the bigger roller to the smaller roller is given as 7:3. - Let the radius of the bigger roller be \(7x\) and the radius of the smaller roller be \(3x\). - Both rollers have the same length (height), which we can denote as \(A\). - This statement alone does not provide enough information to determine the number of rotations the bigger roller will take. **Hint**: Ratios give us relative sizes but not absolute values or the number of rotations. 3. **Analyze Statement II**: - The smaller roller takes 63 rotations to flatten the stretch of land (X). - This means that the area flattened by the smaller roller in 63 rotations is equal to the area of land (X). - However, without knowing the area that the bigger roller can flatten in one rotation, we cannot determine how many rotations it will take for the bigger roller. **Hint**: Knowing the number of rotations for one roller does not help us find the rotations for another without a relationship between their areas. 4. **Combine Both Statements**: - The area flattened by the smaller roller in one rotation is given by the formula for the lateral surface area of a cylinder: \[ \text{Area}_{\text{smaller}} = 2\pi(3x)A \] - Thus, the total area flattened by the smaller roller in 63 rotations is: \[ \text{Total Area} = 63 \times 2\pi(3x)A \] - The area flattened by the bigger roller in one rotation is: \[ \text{Area}_{\text{bigger}} = 2\pi(7x)A \] - To find the number of rotations \(R\) the bigger roller takes, we can set up the equation: \[ R = \frac{\text{Total Area}}{\text{Area}_{\text{bigger}}} \] - Substituting the areas: \[ R = \frac{63 \times 2\pi(3x)A}{2\pi(7x)A} \] - Simplifying gives: \[ R = \frac{63 \times 3}{7} = 27 \] 5. **Conclusion**: - The bigger roller will take 27 rotations to flatten the stretch of land (X). ### Final Answer: The data in both statements together is sufficient to answer the question.
