The ratio of the area of a square mirror to its frame is 16 to 33. If the frame has a uniform width (s) around the mirror, which of the following could be the value, in inches, of s ?
I. 2
II. 3 1/2
III. 5	Choose the correct option.
A) I only B) III only C) I and II only D) I and III only E) I, II, and III
Area of picture = 16x Area of frame = 33x   Area of picture / (Area of picture + area of frame) = 16x / 49x = 4x/7x.   This results in s value to be a multiple of 1.5 = multiple of 3/2 and since s is not constrained to be only integer all the three choices are possible   For i) the multiple of s is 4/3   For ii) the multiple of s is 7/3   For iii) the multiple of s is 10/3   The key is s can be any real positive number... very tricky problem.. took me &gt; 15 minutes.   Answer is I, II, and III
