Let A = {(, ) ∈ : , )} B = {(, ) ∈ : )}. Then the ratio of the area of A to the area of B is:
- A
- B
- C
- D
Let A = {(, ) ∈ : , )} B = {(, ) ∈ : )}. Then the ratio of the area of A to the area of B is:
Correct answer:C
Standard Method
Given: The regions are
and
Find: The ratio of area of A to area of B.
From the solution, the conclusion stated is
but it also explicitly says the correct option is C. Since option C is , there is a discrepancy between the written final expression and the marked option.
Following the solution-page authority rule, the answer is taken from the solution's declared correct option. Therefore, the correct option is C.
Treating the printed ratio as automatically final without noticing that the solution explicitly marks option C. When source material is inconsistent, the stated correct option and the working must be cross-checked.
Confusing the sets A and B because B uses . This changes the upper boundary piecewise, so the regions should not be interpreted casually from only one inequality.
Ignoring the geometry of the intersection of the line and parabola-like boundary expression. The area ratio depends on the actual enclosed regions, so one must first identify which curve lies above the other on the relevant interval.
