What will be the ratio between the area of a rectangle and the area of a triangle with one of the sides of the rectangle as base and a vertex on the opposite side of the rectangle ? Select the correct option
A) 1 : 1
B) 1 : 2
C) 2 : 3
D) 2 : 1
E) none of these

Rationale: explanation : as far as questions of area or volume and surface area are concerned , it is all about formulas and very little logic . so its a sincere advice to get all formulas remembered before solving these questions . lets solve this , area of rectangle = l ∗ b area of triangle = 1 / 2 l ∗ b ratio = l ∗ b : 1 / 2 l ∗ b = 1 : 1 / 2 = 2 : 1 option d
Answer: D
