Question No: 477

If an arc of $60^{\circ}$ on circle $I$ has the same length as an arc of $45^{\circ}$ on circle $II$ , the ratio of the area of circle $I$ to that of circle $II$ is:

$\text{(A) } 16:9\quad \text{(B) } 9:16\quad \text{(C) } 4:3\quad \text{(D) } 3:4\quad \text{(E) } \text{none of these}$
