Question

The circumferences of two circles are in the ratio 3 : 4. The ratio of their areas is

Sum

Solution

Let the the radii of the two circles be r and R, the circumferences of the circles be c and C and the areas of the two circles be a and A.

Now,

`c/C = 3/4`

`=>(2pi"r")/(2pi"R") = 3/4`

`=> "r"/"R" = 3/4`

Now, the ratio between their areas is given by

`"a"/"A" = (pi"r"^2)/(pi"R"^2)`

`=("r"/"R")^2`

`=(3/4)^2`

`= 9/16`

Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
