    If the ratio of the perimeters of two similar triangles is \[\text{4}:\text{25},\]then the ratio of the areas of the similar triangles is:

    A) \[\text{16}:\text{625}\]

    B) \[\text{2}:\text{5}\]

    C) \[5:2\]

    D) \[\text{625}:\text{16}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Let \[\Delta ABC-\Delta PQR.\]
    Since, ratio of areas of two similar triangles is equal to the square of the ratio of any two corresponding sides.
    The,\[\frac{ar(\Delta ABC)}{ar(\Delta PQR)}={{\left( \frac{AB}{PQ} \right)}^{2}}={{\left( \frac{\text{Perimeter of}\,\Delta ABC}{\text{Perimeter of}\,\Delta PQR} \right)}^{2}}\]\[={{\left( \frac{4}{25} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{16}{625}\]
