The ratio of the circumferences of two circles is $2: 3$. What is the ratio of their areas?
(a)2 : 3
(b)4 : 9
(c)9 : 4
(d)None of these
Answer
Explanation
$\frac{2 \pi R_{1}}{2 \pi R_{2}}=\frac{2}{3} \Rightarrow \frac{R_{1}}{R_{2}}=\frac{2}{3} \Rightarrow \frac{\pi R_{1}^{2}}{\pi R_{2}^{2}}=\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{2}=\frac{4}{9}$.
