A differential pulley block has larger and smaller diameters of 100 mm...
**Explanation:**
A differential pulley block consists of two pulleys of different diameters connected by a single rope or chain. Let's denote the larger diameter pulley as D1 (100 mm) and the smaller diameter pulley as D2 (80 mm).
The velocity ratio of a differential pulley block is defined as the ratio of the distance moved by the effort to the distance moved by the load. It can be calculated using the formula:
Velocity Ratio = (D1 / D2)
where D1 and D2 are the diameters of the larger and smaller pulleys, respectively.
In this case, the larger diameter is 100 mm and the smaller diameter is 80 mm. Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
Velocity Ratio = (100 mm / 80 mm)
Velocity Ratio = 1.25
However, the given options for the velocity ratio are a) 5, b) 10, c) 20, and d) 40. None of these options match the calculated value of 1.25.
Therefore, the correct answer cannot be determined based on the given information. It is possible that there is an error in the question or the available options.
