Correct Answer: $3:2$
Solution : Given: A regular hexagon and an equilateral triangle having the same perimeter. Let the perimeter of the triangle and the hexagon be $6a$ units. So, each side of the hexagon = $a$ units And each side of the triangle = $2a$ units We know that the area of a regular hexagon = $\frac{3\sqrt3}{2}a^2$ and the area of an equilateral triangle = $\frac{\sqrt3}{4}b^2$, where $a$ and $b$ are the sides of the hexagon and the equilateral triangle, respectively. So, the area of the hexagon = $\frac{3\sqrt3}{2}a^2$ sq. units And the area of the equilateral triangle = $\frac{\sqrt3}{4}(2a)^2$ sq. units $\therefore$ The ratio of their area $=\frac{3\sqrt3}{2}a^2 : \frac{\sqrt3}{4}(2a)^2 = \frac{3}{2}:1 = 3:2$ Hence, the correct answer is $3:2$.
