  1. If the square of the sum of two numbers is equal to 4 times of their product. then the ratio of these numbers is:
    1. 2 : 1
    2. 1 : 3
    3. 1 : 1
    4. 1 : 2
Correct Option: C

Let the number be p and q.
According to question,
(p + q)2 = 4pq
⇒ p2 + q2 + 2pq – 4pq = 0
⇒ (p – q)2 = 0
⇒ p = q
Hence , required ratio is 1 : 1 .
