The correct answer is: $10: 9$
Total expenditure of $\mathrm{A}=3,500+500+1,500+2,000$
$=10,000$
Total expenditure of $\mathrm{B}=2,700+800+1,000+1,800$
$+1,800$
$=8,100$
Area of A: Area of $\mathrm{B}=10,000: 8,100$
$=100: 8]$
$\Rightarrow$ radius of A: radius of $\mathrm{B}=\sqrt{100}: \sqrt{81}$
$=10: 9$
