Correct Answer: 5 and 10
Solution :
Given that the sides of the two regular polygons are in the ratio 1 : 2.
The interior angles of these polygons are in the ratio 3 : 4
Let the number of sides of the polygons be $n$ and $2n$ respectively.
The sum of interior angles for a $n$-sided regular polygon = $\frac{(n-2)\times 180^\circ}{n}$
So, $\frac{(n-2)\times 180^\circ}{n}\div\frac{(2n-2)\times 180^\circ}{2n} = \frac{3}{4}$
Or, $\frac{n-2}{n-1}=\frac{3}{4}$
Or, $n=5$
and, $2n=10$
Hence, the correct answer is 5 and 10.
