• C. 1:4
• D. 2:2

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (D)

The correct options are
B

1:1

D

2:2

Given, the side of a square, a = 4 units.
Perimeter of the square = $4a=4\times 4=16$ units
Area of the square = $a^2=4^2=16$ square units
Therefore, the ratio of the perimeter of the square to its area is 16:16 = 1:1 =2:2.
