4. The surface areas of two spheres are in the ratio 49:81. Find the ratio of their radii.

5. The radius and the height of a right circular cone are in the ratio 5:12. It its volume is 314 cu.cm, find the radius and slant height. (For convenience, pi may be taken as 3.14).

9. Solve:-

6x+2y-5z = 13
3x+3y-2z = 13
7x+5y-3z = 26

1/x - 2/y + 4 = 0
1/y  - 1/z + 1 = 0
2/z + 3/x = 14
