Option 1: 9 : 11

Option 2: 121 : 81

Option 3: 11 : 9

Team Careers360 9th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 9 : 11


Solution : Given,
${{A{_1}}}:{A{_2}}=81:121$
Area $\propto$ circumference$^2$
⇒ $\frac{C{_1}}{C{_2}}=\frac{\sqrt{A{_1}}}{\sqrt {A{_2}}}$, where $C{_1}\text{ and }C{_2}$ are the circumference, and $A{_1}\text{ and }A{_2}$ are the area.
⇒ $\frac{C{_1}}{C{_2}}=\frac{\sqrt{81}}{\sqrt{121}}$
⇒ $\frac{C{_1}}{C{_2}}=\frac{9}{11}$
Hence, the correct answer is 9 : 11.
