Question:

The ratio of the areas of the two triangles is 1 : 2 and the ratio of their bases is 3 : 4. What will be the ratio of their height?

Options:

1 : 3

4 : 3

2 : 1

2 : 3

Correct Answer:

2 : 3

Explanation:

Ratio of height = \(\frac{Ratio\;of\;Area}{Ratio\;of\;bases}\)

                      = \(\frac{1}{3}\) : \(\frac{2}{4}\)

                      =  4  :  6

Ratio of height = 2 : 3
