    The perimeter of a rectangle and an equilateral triangle are same. Also, one of the sides of the rectangle is equal to the side of the triangle. The ratio of the areas of the rectangle and the triangle is

    A)  \[\sqrt{3}:1\]           

    B)  \[1:\sqrt{3}\]

    C)  \[2:\sqrt{3}\]            

    D)  \[4:\sqrt{3}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let the each side of equilateral triangle be a, then its perimeter = 3a Again,       \[2(l+b)=3a\] \[\Rightarrow \]  \[l+b=\frac{3}{2}\cdot a\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[a+b=\frac{3a}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[AB=l=a\] (for the rectangle) \[\Rightarrow \] \[b=\frac{a}{2}\] \[\therefore \] area of rectangle \[=a\times \frac{a}{2}=\frac{{{a}^{2}}}{2}\] and area of triangle \[=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times {{a}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \] Required ratio \[=\frac{{{a}^{2}}/2}{\sqrt{3{{a}^{2}}}/4}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\]
