    the answer is option 4…

    first sentence is ‘C’ bcoz, it mentions abt the year that has been mentioned in the first sentence…

    Last sentence mentions “These bodies” which says it has reference to the “Electrified bodies” in ‘B’ ...

    So, here comes our answer.. CDAB….

    i think answer should be 5/3 to the quant question because

    let m be the centre of circle wirh radius AO and n of the third circle than tha NO = 5-r

    and MN =10/4 +r and MO 0=10/4. now by pythagorous theorem (5-r)2+ (10/4)2=(10/4 + r)2 25-10r=5r r=5/3.
