Correct Answer – b
Given `l_(1)+l_(2)+l_(3)=110` cm
and `n_(1)l_(1)=n_(2)l_(2)=n_(3)l_(3)` (`because` T and d are same)
`n_(1):n_(2):n_(3)::1 : 2: 3`
`because n_(1)/n_(2)=1/2=l_(2)/l_(1)rArr l_(2)=l_(1)/2`
and `because n_(1)/n_(3)=1/3=l_(3)/l_(1)rArr l_(3)=l_(1)/3`
`therefore l_(1) +l_(1)/2+l_(1)/3=110`
`rArr l_(1) = 60 ` cm
So, ` l_(1) = 60 ` cm, `l_(2) = 30` cm, ` l_(3) = 20` cm
