Correct Answer: $5: 7$
Solution :
Given, the ratio of sides of similar triangles = $\sqrt{5}: \sqrt{7}$
We know the ratio of areas of similar triangles is equal to the square of the ratio of sides of those similar triangles
$\therefore$ Ratio of areas of similar triangles = $(\sqrt{5})^2: (\sqrt{7})^2=5 : 7$
Hence, the correct answer is $5 : 7$.
