Explanation:

Let the length and breadth of the carpet in the first case be 3x units and 2x units respectively.
Let the dimensions of the carpet in the second case be 7y, 3y units respectively.
From the data,.
2(3x + 2x) = 2(7y + 3y)
=> 5x = 10y
=> x = 2y
Required ratio of the areas of the carpet in both the cases
= 3x * 2x : 7y : 3y
= 6x^2 : 21y^2
= 6 * (2y)^2 : 21y^2
= 6 * 4y^2 : 21y^2
= 8 : 7
