    SIMPLE
    AS WE KNOW THAT STRENGTH OF SHAFT IS MEASURED BY POLOR MODULUS
    POLOR MODULUS = J/R
    HERE SOLID SHAFT IS GIVEN SO FOR SOLID SHAFT POLOR MODULUS
    =Pi/16 (D)^3
    NOW AS Db =100
    AND Da=50
    So
    Pi/16(Db)^3 DIVIDE BY Pi/16(Da)^3
    AFTER CANCELATION WE GET
    (Db/Da)^3
    =(100/50)^3
    =(2)^3
    =8
