A flat is priced at Rs. 4500 per square foot, while a commercial property is priced at Rs. 9500 per square foot. If the total cost of both properties is equal, what is the ratio of their respective areas?

Explanation

Let the area of the flat be A1 and the commercial space be A2. Since total costs are equal, we have A1 × 4500 = A2 × 9500. Rearranging, the ratio of their areas is A1 : A2 = 9500 : 4500, which simplifies to 19 : 9.
