Correct Answer: 45 : 49
Solution : Given, $VWUT$ is a trapezium and $VW \parallel UT$ In $\triangle STU$, $VW \parallel UT$ So, $\triangle SVW \sim \triangle STU$ We know, that the ratio of the area of similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the squares of corresponding sides of similar triangles. So, $Area(\triangle SVW) : Area(\triangle STU) = VW^2 : TU^2$ ⇒ $Area(\triangle SVW) : Area(\triangle STU) = 4 : 49$ Now, $\frac{Area (VWUT)}{Area(\triangle STU)} = \frac{(Area(\triangle STU) – Area(\triangle SVW))}{Area(\triangle STU)}$ ⇒ $\frac{Area (VWUT)}{Area(\triangle STU)} =1- \frac{ Area(\triangle SVW)}{Area(\triangle STU)}$ ⇒ $\frac{Area (VWUT)}{Area(\triangle STU)} =1- \frac{4}{49}$ ⇒ $\frac{Area (VWUT)}{Area(\triangle STU)} =\frac{45}{49}$ Hence, the correct answer is 45 : 49.
