  1. The product of two positive integers is 1575 and their ratio is 9 : 7. The smaller integer is
    1. 25
    2. 35
    3. 45
    4. 70
Correct Option: B

Let the integers be 9x and 7x respectively.
According to the question,
9x × 7x = 1575

⇒  x2 =
1575
63

⇒  x2 = 25
⇒  x = 5
[x being positive (+ve) integer]
∴  Smaller integer
= 7x = 7 × 5 = 35
