As we know the strength of the shaft is measured by polar modulus.

Polor modulus = j/r.

Here solid shaft is given so for the solid shaft.

π/16 (d) ^3.

Now as db =100.
And da=50.

So.

π/16 (db) ^3 divide by pi/16 (da) ^3.

After a cancellation we get.

(db/da) ^3.
= (100/50) ^3.

= (2) ^3.

=8.
