The correct option is B
Proportion

Length of the rectangle = 25 cm

Breadth of the rectangle = 15 cm

Area of the rectangle = length $\times$ breadth

$\Rightarrow A r e a o f t h e r e c t a n g l e = 25 \times 15$

$\Rightarrow A r e a o f t h e r e c t a n g l e = 375$

$H e n c e, t h e r a t i o o f t h e b r e a d t h o f t h e r e c t a n g l e t o i t s a r e a = \frac{B r e a d t h o f t h e r e c t a n g l e}{A r e a o f t h e r e c t a n g l e}$

$\Rightarrow T h e r a t i o o f t h e b r e a d t h o f t h e r e c t a n g l e t o i t s a r e a = \frac{15}{375} = \frac{1}{25}$

Hence the ratio of the breadth of the rectangle to its area = 1 : 25
