  1. A \(27: 343\)
  2. B \(9: 49\)
  3. C \(3: 7\)
  4. D \(49: 81\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(27: 343\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \frac{S_1}{S_2} = \frac{R_1^2}{R_2^2} = \frac{9}{49} \) \( \frac{R_1}{R_2} = \sqrt{\frac{9}{49}} = \frac{3}{7} \) \( \frac{R_1}{R_2} = \left(\frac{A_1}{A_2}\right)^{1/3} \) \( \left(\frac{A_1}{A_2}\right)^{1/3} = \frac{3}{7} \)…
