Thanks you very much for your question. Your questions was – The radius of two concentric circles is in the ratio 2:5, then find out the ratio between their areas.
According to the question,
the radius of two concentric circles is in the ratio 2:5.
The standard formula to calculate the area of a circle (A) = Πr2, where r is the radius of the circle.
Since, p is a constant, we can say that A is directly proportional to the square of the
radius.
∴ A1 : A2 = r12 : r22 = (2)2 : (5)2 = 4 : 25
Hence, the correct answer is option c.
