Q.

If the areas of two circles are in the ratio 4:9, then the ratio of their perimeters of their semi-circles is:

1 2:3   
2 3:2  
3 1:2  
4 1:3  

Ans.

Let the radii of two circles be r1 and r2. It is given that

πr12:πr22=4:9r12:r22=4:9r1:r2=2:3Let P1 and P2 be the perimeters of the two semi-circles.Then,P1=πr1+2r1P2=πr2+2r2P1=(π+2)r1andP2=(π+2)r2P1:P2=r1:r2=2:3
