Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation

x \(\alpha\sqrt y\)

x = k\(\sqrt y\)

81 = k\(\sqrt9\)

k = \(\frac{81}{3}\)

= 27

therefore, x = 27\(\sqrt y\)

y = 1\(\frac{7}{9}\) = \(\frac{16}{9}\)

x = 27 x \(\sqrt{\frac{16}{9}}\)

= 27 x \(\frac{4}{3}\)

dividing 27 by 3

= 9 x 4

= 36

There is an explanation video available below.
