5. In a plaza, the monthly rental of a shop of A m² on the nth floor is $R. It is given that R varies directly
as A and inversely as n. Charles and Diana are going to rent shop C on the 4th floor and shop D on the
3rd floor of the plaza respectively. The monthly rentals of shops C and D are in the ratio of 3:5.

(a) Find the ratio of the areas of shops C and D.

(b) Charles finally decides to rent shop E on the 2nd floor instead. The area of shop E is 22% smaller
than that of shop C.
