Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(25 : 9\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\left( {\frac{{\sqrt {{I_1}}  + \sqrt {{I_2}} }}{{\sqrt {{I_1}}  - \sqrt {{I_2}} }}} \right) = \frac{{16}}{1}\) ; \(\frac{\sqrt{I_{1}}+\sqrt{I_{2}}}{\sqrt{I_{1}}-\sqrt{I_{2}}}=\frac{4}{1}\)

\( \Rightarrow \quad 3\sqrt {{I_1}}  = 5\sqrt {{I_2}} \)

\(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}}=\frac{25}{9}\)
