If p : q : r = 1 : 2 : 4, then √ 5p^2 + q^2 + r^2 is

a) 5
b) 2q
c) 5p
d) 4r

Answer: c
Explanation:
$$\eqalign{ & p = k,\,q = 2k,\,r = 4k \cr & \sqrt {5{p^2} + {q^2} + {r^2}} \cr & = \sqrt {5{k^2} + {{\left( {2k} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {4k} \right)}^2}} \cr & = \sqrt {5{k^2} + 4{k^2} + 16{k^2}} \cr & = \sqrt {25{k^2}} \cr & = 5k \cr & = 5p. \cr} $$
