ABCD is a square. E and F are the midpoints of sides CD and BC, respectively. What is the ratio of the shaded region area to the unshaded region?	Answers
A) 1 : 1	B) 2 : 1	C) 3 : 1	D) 5 : 3	E) 8 : 3

Rationale: let ' s join the midpoints as shown in the figure then we ' ll get four small squares . . . aodx be 1 and similarly all squares . . and we can split the unit 1 into half and half as per the mid points . . . then shaded will be 1 + 1 / 2 + 1 / 2 + 1 / 2 = 5 / 2 and unshaded is 1 / 2 + 1 / 2 + 1 / 2 = 3 / 2 . . shaded : unshaded is 5 : 3 . . ans option d .
Answer: D
