An order was placed for a carpet whose length and width were in the ratio of 3 : 2. Subsequently, the dimensions of the carpet were altered such that its length and width were in the ratio 3 : 1 but were was no change in its perimeter. What is the ratio of the areas of the carpets?
Choose the most appropriate option:
A) 12 : 7	B) 15 : 11	C) 25 : 16	D) 30 : 23	E) 32 : 25

Rationale: "let the length and width of one carpet be 3 x and 2 x . let the length and width of the other carpet be 3 y and y . 2 ( 3 x + 2 x ) = 2 ( 3 y + y ) 5 x = 4 y ( 5 / 4 ) * x = y the ratio of the areas of the carpet in both cases : = 3 x * 2 x : 3 y * y = 6 x ^ 2 : 3 y ^ 2 = 6 x ^ 2 : 3 * ( 25 / 16 ) * x ^ 2 = 96 : 75 = 32 : 25 the answer is e ."
Answer: E
