98. Read the following statements carefully

If a solid circular shaft and a hollow circular shaft have the same torsional strength, then
i. The weight of hollow shaft will be less than that of the solid shaft.
ii. The external diameter of the hollow shaft will be greater than that of solid shaft.
iii. The stiffness of the hollow shaft will be equal to that of the solid shaft.

c) Only (i) and (iii) are correct
