If x  $>$> r,   then x  $>$> r+      $\sqrt{ }$ s/3,   

If x $<$< r,   then  x <  r -   $\sqrt{ }$ s/3,  see drawing:

not covered part is 2 r = r +  $\sqrt{ }$ s/3  + r-   $\sqrt{ }$ s/3,   if r  increased, then cover less of line number,

 

If r decreased, cover more of line number.

so correct number is  b).

Not cover number line shall be  2   $\sqrt{ }$ s/3  = ( r+   $\sqrt{ }$ s/3) - ( r -   $\sqrt{ }$ s/3),  so  S decreased,  cover more of line number.  Correct answer is d).
