Correct Answer: 2 : 3


Solution : The area of the two circles is in the ratio of 4 : 9.
Let their radii be $r_1$ and $r_2$, respectively.
So, $\pi r_{1}^{2}:\pi r_{2}^{2}$ = 4 : 9
$⇒\frac{r_{1}^{2}}{r_{2}^{2}} = \frac{4}{9}$
$⇒\frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}} = \frac{2}{3}$
$\therefore$ Circumference = $2\pi r_{1}:2\pi r_{2} = \frac{2 \pi \times 2}{2 \pi \times 3}$ = 2 : 3
Hence, the correct answer is 2 : 3.
