उत्तर

Given, size of carpet = 5 m × 2 m and width of border = 25 cm = `25/100` × m = 0.25 m
∴ Area of carpet ABCD = AB × BC = 5 × 2 = 10 m2 ...[∵ Area of rectangle = Length × breadth]
So, length of inner blue portion, EF = AB – (2 × 0.25 cm) = 5 – 0.50 = 4.5 m
And breadth of inner blue portion FG = BC – (2 × 0.25) = 2 – 0.50 = 1.5 m
Area of blue portion = Area of rectangle EFGH = EF × FG = 4.5 × 1.5 = 6.75 m2
Now, area of red portion = Area of ABCD – Area of EFGH = 10 – 6.75 = 3.25 m2
∴ Ratio of areas of red portion to blue portion = 3.25 : 6.75 = 13 : 27
