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


  • Options
  • A. 13:9
  • B. 16:9
  • C. 15:9
  • D. 14:9

  • Correct Answer
  • 16:9 

    Explanation

    Let the bases of the two triangles be x and y and their heights be 3h and 4h respectively.
    Then,  1 2 × x × 3 h 1 2 × y × 4 h = 4 3 ? x y = 4 3 × 4 3 = 16 9  

     

    Required ratio = 16 : 9.
