What mistake did Carl make?

Answer:
The correct answer is:
'He did not multiply the chlorine and oxygen atoms by the coefficient 4'.
Explanation:
Number of atoms in
The 4 in front of molecular formula of calcium chlorate is its coefficient . it tells us about the molecules or moles of compound.
Number of calcium in 1 molecule of calcium chlorate = 1
Calcium atoms in 4 molecule of calcium chlorate = 1 × 4 = 4
Number of calcium in 1 molecule of calcium chlorate = 2
Chlorine atoms in 4 molecule of calcium chlorate = 2 × 4 = 8
Number of oxygen in 1 molecule of calcium chlorate = 3 × 2 = 6
Oxygen atoms in 4 molecule of calcium chlorate = 6 × 4 = 24
So, number of atoms of different elements calculated by Carl was wrong as he didn't multiplied the coefficient 4 with chlorine and oxygen atoms.

Answer:
It will require a force of 1/5, answer A.
Explanation:
In the attached image we can see an example of an array of pulleys that will lift a 100 kg-f load.
If we analyze pulleys A,B, and C as in the image we can check a force in the cable of 20kg-f.
In the pulley D we have three forces of 20 kg-f each and those forces plus the forces in the pulley B, sum a total of 100 kg-f (60+40). This matches the mechanical advantage (100/5) = 20 kg-f
