Answer:

The length of cell A is 50 times of the length of cell B

Explanation:

Given that,

The length of cell A,
l_A=5* 10^(-3)\ cm

The length of cell B,
l_B=1* 10^(-4)\ cm

Taking the ratio of length of cell A to the length of cell B.


(l_A)/(l_B)=(5* 10^(-3))/(10^(-4))\\\\(l_A)/(l_B)=50\\\\l_A=50* l_B

It means, the length of cell A is 50 times of the length of cell B. Hence, the correct option is (d).
