$$A. 3π$$
$$B. 3.5π$$
$$C. 4π$$
$$D. 4.5π$$
$$E. 7π$$

Given Area of big circle $$= 14π$$

Let the radius of big circle be $$= R$$

$$\pi$$$$R^2 = 14π$$

$$R^2 = 14$$

$$R = \sqrt{14}$$

Given diameter of small circle is equal to radius of big circle.

Let the radius of small circle be $$= r$$

Therefore $$R = 2r$$

$$r = \frac{R}{2}$$ $$= \frac{\sqrt{14}}{ 2}$$

Area of small circle $$= \pi r^2 = \pi * \frac{\sqrt{14}}{ 2} * \frac{\sqrt{14}}{ 2} = \pi * \frac{14}{4} = \frac{7}{2} \pi = 3.5\pi$$

$$A. 3π$$
$$B. 3.5π$$
$$C. 4π$$
$$D. 4.5π$$
$$E. 7π$$

Let the radius of bigger circle be R & radius of smaller circle be r.
So, r = R/2
$$πR^2 = 14π$$
$$R = \sqrt{14}$$

$$r = \sqrt{14}/2$$[/m]

Area of smaller circle
$$= πr^2 = π(R/2)^2= πR^2 /4$$
$$=14π/4 = 3.5π$$

$$A. 3π$$

$$C. 4π$$
$$D. 4.5π$$
$$E. 7π$$

The ratio of areas of two circles is the same as the ratio of the squares of their respective Radii / Diameters. Hence the correct answer should be 1/4 of the area of the bigger circle.

==> Ratio of length^2=Ratio of area, and since the ratio of the length is 2, the ratio of the area becomes 4, so you get $$\frac{14π}{4}=3.5π$$.
