\(\frac{Area I}{Area II} = \frac{1}{2}\)
i.e. \(Area II = 2 (Area I)\)
Col. A: \(x = \frac{Area I}{20}\)
Col. B: \(y = \frac{Area II}{30}\)
Col. A: \(x = \frac{Area I}{20}\)
Col. B: \(y = \frac{2 (Area I)}{30}\)
Cross-multiplying the denominators;
Col. A: \(x = 30 (Area I)\)
Col. B: \(y = 40 (Area I)\)
Hence, option B
