Encik Fizli is planning to buy a piece of land for a banana orchard. 
The price of one metre square is RM140.      

The diagram below shows the measurements of two pieces of land proposed by the property agent appointed by Encik Fizli.
land a = 25 x 25m    land b 20 x 30m
UNIT 7: ITEM 7a

What is the ratio of Land A’s area to Land B’s area?
A. 24 : 25
B. 25 : 20
C. 25 : 24
D. 25 : 30

To find the ratio of Land A's area to Land B's area, we need to calculate the area of each piece of land first.

- **Land A** is a square with dimensions 25 m by 25 m, so the area of Land A is:
  \[
  \text{Area of Land A} = 25 \, \text{m} \times 25 \, \text{m} = 625 \, \text{m}^2
  \]

- **Land B** is a rectangle with dimensions 20 m by 30 m, so the area of Land B is:
  \[
  \text{Area of Land B} = 20 \, \text{m} \times 30 \, \text{m} = 600 \, \text{m}^2
  \]

Now, we can express the ratio of Land A's area to Land B's area as:
\[
\text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Area of Land A}}{\text{Area of Land B}} = \frac{625}{600}
\]

Simplifying this ratio by dividing both numbers by 25:
\[
\frac{625}{600} = \frac{25}{24}
\]

So, the ratio of Land A's area to Land B's area is **25 : 24**.

The correct answer is **C. 25 : 24**.
