Hi,
I don't know whether such questions fall into GMAT category, I will explain this
In the triangle ABC, 4/sine B = 5/sine A
So, Sine A/sine B = 5/4 --(1)
Drop perpendiculars from O to AC and BC. Let the foot of perpendiculars be P, Q respectively
In triangle APO, sine A = radius/OA
similarly in triangle BQO, sine B = radius/OB
So, sine A/ sine B = OB/OA
From (1): Sine A/sine B = 5/4 So, OB/OA = 5/4
OA+OB = AB =6
So, OB = 5/9(AB) = (5/9)*6 = 10/3
OA = 8/3
So, OA*OB = (8/3)*(10/3) = 80/9
