Is it A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

512/4=128

rishavraj (rishavraj):

nah nah see it says four times so s = q/4 and r = p/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok.. Can you use actual numbers?

rishavraj (rishavraj):

hmmm wht do u mean???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you give me an explanation with the answer?

rishavraj (rishavraj):

see its given p = 4r ...so r = p/4 and q = 4s so s = q/4 area of rect. A = 512 so , p*q = 512

rishavraj (rishavraj):

now for rect. B area = r*s so its (p/4)*(q/4)

rishavraj (rishavraj):

so its area is \[\frac{ pq }{ 16 }\] and u hav pq = 512 so just plug tht
