Correct Answer: 4 : 1


Solution : Let the diagonal of the 1 st square be $2x$.
Area of 1st square = $\frac{1}{2}$ × (product of diagonals)
= $\frac{1}{2}×(2x)^2$
Since the diagonal of the 2 nd square is half of the diagonal of the 1 st square i.e. $x$.
So, the area of 2 nd square = $\frac{1}{2}$ × (product of diagonals)
= $\frac{1}{2}×x^2$
So, Area of 1 st square : Area of 2 nd square = $\frac{1}{2}×4x^2$ : $\frac{1}{2}×x^2$
= 4 : 1
Hence, the correct answer is 4 : 1.
