Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e 25 : 36.
The diagonals of squares are related to their areas. If the diagonals are in the ratio 5:6, the areas will be in the square of this ratio.
So, the ratio of areas = (5/6)² = 25/36
The ratio of the areas is 25:36.
