Correct Answer: 7 : 20


Solution : Let the diagonals of the rhombus are
$d_1=x$ and $d_2=0.7x$
So, the area of the rhombus = $\frac{1}{2}​× x× 0.7x$
Now, let's find the ratio of the area of the rhombus to the square of the length of the larger diagonal:
Area of square = $x^2$
Required ratio = $\frac{\frac{1}{2}​× x× 0.7x}{x^2}$
=$\frac{7}{20}$
Hence, the correct answer is 7 : 20.
