Correct Answer: 14 : 25
Solution : Ratio of Areas = 196 : 625 If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of the area of both triangles is proportional to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides. ⇒ Ratio of sides = $\sqrt{\text{area}{_1}}:\sqrt{\text{area}{_2}}=\sqrt{196}:\sqrt{625}= 14 : 25$ Hence, the correct answer is 14 : 25.
