On the print you would expect the pitch diameter of the gear to be 9.00 inches. Option A is right.
Gear ratio = 1/3
This is solved as number of teeth on pinion / teeth on gear
= Np/Ng
The pitch diameter = 1.5 x 2
= 3
Diametral pitch = 12
NP = 3 x 12 = 36
This is the teeth on piston
Ng = 3NP
Ng = 3 * 36
= 108
Hence pitch diameter = 108/12 = 9
