D Correct answer
Explanation

The subtriplicate ratio of $a : b$ is $\sqrt [3]{a} : \sqrt [3]{b}$
$\therefore$ The subtriplicate ratio of $\sqrt {x} : \sqrt {y} = x^{\cfrac {1}{2}} : y^{\frac {1}{2}}$ is $(x^{\cfrac {1}{2}})^{\cfrac {1}{3}} : (y^{\cfrac {1}{2}})^{\cfrac {1}{3}}$
$= x^{\cfrac {1}{6}} : y^{\cfrac {1}{6}}$

C Correct answer
Explanation

The subtriplicate ratio of $a : b$ is $\sqrt [3]{a} : \sqrt [3]{b}$
Now, $3 : 81 = \dfrac {3}{81} = \dfrac {1}{27} = 1 : 27$
$\therefore$ The subtriplicate ratio of $1 : 27$ is $\sqrt [3]{1} : \sqrt [3]{27} = 1 : 3$

____ is the subtriplicate ratio of $216 : 1331$

  1. $8 : 11$

  2. $6 : 13$

  3. $6 : 12$

  4. $6 : 11$

D Correct answer
Explanation

The subtriplicate ratio of $a : b$ is $\sqrt [3]{a} : \sqrt [3]{b}$.
$\therefore$ The subtriplicate ratio of $216 : 1331$ is $\sqrt [3]{216} : \sqrt [3]{1331} = \sqrt [3]{(6)^{3}} : \sqrt [3]{(11)^{3}}$
$= 6 : 11$
