If p : q : r = 1 : 2 : 4, then $$\sqrt {5{p^2} + {q^2} + {r^2}} $$    is equal to -

A. 5

B. 2q

C. 5p

D. 4r

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

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