Question:

The ratio of an area of two triangles is 5 : 7 and ratio of height is 7 : 5.  Find the ratio of their base?

Options:

25 : 49

15 : 21

49 : 25

20 : 28

Correct Answer:

25 : 49

Explanation:

Area1 :  Area2 = 5 : 7

⇒ \(\frac{1}{2}\) b1h1 :  \(\frac{1}{2}\) b2h2  = 5  :  7

⇒ b1 × 7  :  b2 × 5  =  5 : 7

⇒ b1  :  b2  =  5 × 5 : 7 × 7 = 25 : 49
