If the perimeter of square region S and the perimeter of rectangular region R are equal and the sides of R are in the ratio 2:3 then the ratio of the area of R to the area of S
Answers.
A) 25:16	B) 24:25	C) 5:6	D) 4:5	E) 4:9
Rectangle is R; say; l=6, w=4   Perimeter of R= 2(l+w)=2(6+4)=2*10= 
<gadget id="calculator">2*10</gadget>
<output>20</output>
20 (not 24)   Area of R= 6*4= 
<gadget id="calculator">6*4</gadget>
<output>24</output>
24   Perimeter of S= Perimeter of R (Given)   Perimeter of S = 4 * side_of_S   Perimeter of R = 20   4*side_of_S = 20   side_of_S, say s = 20/4= 
<gadget id="calculator">20/4</gadget>
<output>5</output>
5   Area of S= s^2 = 5^2=25   Ratio; Area of R/Area of S = 24/25   Ans:24:25
<result>B</result>
If the perimeter of square region S and the perimeter of rectangular region R are equal and the sides of R are in the ratio 2:3 then the ratio of the area of R to the area of S
