    In two triangles, the ratio of the areas is 4 : 3 and ratio of their heights is 3 : 4. Find the ratio of their bases

    A)  16 : 9

    B)  9 : 16

    C)  9 : 12              

    D)  16 : 12

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let, the height and base of first triangle be \[{{h}_{1}}\] and respectively and that of second triangle \[{{h}_{2}}\] and respectively Now,\[\frac{\text{Area}\,\,\text{of}\,\,\text{first}\,\,\text{triangle}}{\text{Area}\,\,\text{of}\,\text{second}\,\,\text{triangle}}=\frac{4}{3}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{\frac{1}{2}{{b}_{1}}{{h}_{1}}}{\frac{1}{2}{{b}_{2}}{{h}_{2}}}=\frac{4}{3}\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{{{b}_{1}}}{{{b}_{2}}}\times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{4}{3}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{{{b}_{1}}}{{{b}_{2}}}=\frac{4\times 4}{3\times 3}=\frac{16}{9}\]
