Detailed Solution

As you know, torque (T) is the cross product of force (F) and length (L).

T=F×L

As we all know that the S.I unit of force is Newton (N) and the S.I unit of length is meter.
So, the S.I unit of torque is N-m.
And the CGS unit of torque is Dyne-Centimeter (dyne-Cm).
Now as we all know that
1 Newton = 100000 Dyne.
And 1 m = 100 cm.
So, 1 N.m = 100000×100 dyn.cm

1N.m=107dyn.cm
1N.m1dyn.cm=107
So, the ratio of the S.I unit of torque to the C.G.S unit of torque is107.
Hence, the correct answer is option A.
