PROPER METHOD
Let the length and breadth be x and y..
so Area = xy and perimeter = 2(x+y)..
Area: square of perimeter = 1:25 => \(xy:(2(x+y))^2=1:25..........4(x+y)^2=25xy.......\frac{x^2+y^2+2xy}{xy}=\frac{25}{4}\)..
\(\frac{x^2}{xy}+\frac{y^2}{xy}+\frac{2xy}{xy}=\frac{25}{4}\)..
\(\frac{x}{y}+\frac{y}{x}+2=\frac{25}{4}.............\)..
Let the ratio we are looking for x/y be a
\(a+\frac{1}{a}=\frac{25}{4}-\frac{17}{4}..........\frac{a^2+1}{a}=\frac{17}{4}..........4a^2+4=17a..........4a^2-17a+4=0\)..
\(4a^2-16a-a+4=0...........4a(a-4)-1(a-4)=0......(4a-1)(a-4)=0\)..
so either a=4 or a=\(\frac{1}{4}\).....
thus A
SHORTCUT
Or you can just SUBSTITUTE the choices to check the answer..
A 1:4, so length =1 and breadth = 4..
Area = 1*4=4 Perimeter = 2(1+4)=10..
Thus \(\frac{A}{P}=\frac{4}{10^2}=\frac{1}{25}\)... TRUE
A

Perimeter of rectangle= 2(a+b)
Area of rectangle= ab
\(\frac{[2(a+b)]^2}{ab}= \frac{25}{1}\)
\(\frac{4(a^2+b^2+2ab)}{ab}=\frac{25}{1}\)
\(\frac{a}{b}+\frac{b}{a}+2=\frac{25}{4}\)
\(\frac{a}{b}+\frac{b}{a}=\frac{17}{4}\)
\(\frac{a}{b}+\frac{b}{a}= \frac{4}{1}+\frac{1}{4}\)
\(\frac{b}{a}=\frac{1}{4}\)
Area of rectangle= ab
\(\frac{[2(a+b)]^2}{ab}= \frac{25}{1}\)
\(\frac{4(a^2+b^2+2ab)}{ab}=\frac{25}{1}\)
\(\frac{a}{b}+\frac{b}{a}+2=\frac{25}{4}\)
\(\frac{a}{b}+\frac{b}{a}=\frac{17}{4}\)
\(\frac{a}{b}+\frac{b}{a}= \frac{4}{1}+\frac{1}{4}\)
\(\frac{b}{a}=\frac{1}{4}\)
