Question
ST || QR, PS = 2 cm and SQ = 3 cm. Then the ratio of the area of ∆PQR to the area of ∆PST is
Options
25 : 4
25 : 7
25 : 11
25 : 13

Solution
25 : 4
Explanation;
Hint:
Area of ∆PQR : Area of ∆PST
`("Area of" Delta"PQR")/("Area of" Delta"PST") = "PQ"^2/"PS"^2 = 5^2/2^2 = 25/4`
Area of ∆PQR : Area of ∆PST = 25 : 4
