The radius of the larger circle is 2 inches longer than the radius of the smaller circle. If the radius of the smaller circle is r then, in terms of r, what is the ratio of the unshaded area to the total area?

A. $$\frac{r^2}{r^2 + 4r + 4}$$

B. $$\frac{\pi r}{4\pi r + 4}$$

C. $$\frac{r^2}{4r + 4}$$

D. $$\frac{r}{r^2 + 4}$$

E. $$\frac{\pi r^2 + 4r + 4}{\pi r^2}$$

Area of un-shaded portion(White)=Area of smaller circle with radius 'r'=$$\pi*r^2$$
Total area=Area of bigger circle with radius 'r+2'= $$\pi*(r+2)^2$$

Required ratio=$$\frac{\pi*r^2}{\pi*(r+2)^2}$$=$$\frac{r^2}{r^2 + 4r + 4}$$

Ans. (A)

Area of unshaded portion = $$πr^2$$
Total area = $$π(r+2)^2$$ = $$π(r^2+4r+4)$$
Ratio = $$\frac{πr^2}{π(r^2+4r+4)}$$ = $$\frac{r^2}{(r^2+4r+4)}$$
