Solution

The correct option is B 63 cm
$r = R [\frac{l_{1} - l_{2}}{l_{2}}] = R^{1} [\frac{l_{1} - l_{2}^{1}}{l_{2}^{1}}] 5 [\frac{84 - 70}{70}] = 3 [\frac{84 - l_{2}^{1}}{l_{2}^{1}}] \frac{l_{2}^{1} \times 14}{14 \times 3} = 84 - l_{2}^{1} l_{2}^{1} + \frac{l_{2}^{1}}{3} = 84 4 l_{2}^{1} = 84 \times 3 l_{2}^{1} = 63 c m$
