Correct Answer: 16 : 4 : 1


Solution : Given: The radius of circle A is twice that of circle B and the radius of circle B is twice that of circle C.
Since the area of a circle is proportional to the square of its radius,
The ratio of the area of circles A, B, and C = (Ratio of radii of circles A, B, and C )2
So, ratio of area = $4^2:2^2:1^2$ = 16 : 4 : 1
Hence, the correct answer is 16 : 4 : 1.
