    The ratio of areas of two squares, if diagonal of one is double the diagonal of the other, is ____.

    A)  3 : 2   

    B)                     4 : 1   

    C)  3 : 1   

    D)                     4 : 3   

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let side of one square be \[x\] \[\therefore \]Area \[=\text{ }{{x}^{2}}\]. Now, its diagonal \[=\sqrt{2}\times x\] So, diagonal of other square\[=2\times \sqrt{2}x=2\sqrt{2}x\] Now, required side of other square \[=\text{ }2x\] \[\therefore \] Area \[={{(2x)}^{2}}\text{ }=\text{ }4{{x}^{2}}\] So, required ratio \[=\frac{4{{x}^{2}}}{{{x}^{2}}}=\frac{4}{1}i.e.,4:1\].
