    The perimeter of a circular plot is equal to that of a square plot. What is the ratio of their respective areas?

    A) 13 : 11                        

    B) 14 : 11

    C) 15 : 11                        

    D) 16 : 11

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

        Let \[4x\] be the perimeter of the square, so that its area is \[{{x}^{2}}.\] Circumference\[=2\pi r=4x\] \[\therefore \] \[r=\frac{2x}{\pi }\] \[\therefore \] \[\text{Area}=\pi {{r}^{2}}=\pi {{\left( \frac{2x}{\pi } \right)}^{2}}=\pi \frac{4}{{{\pi }^{2}}}{{x}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \]  Ratio of area of the circle and the square \[=\frac{4}{\pi }{{x}^{2}}:{{x}^{2}}\] \[=4:\pi \]or \[4:\frac{22}{7}\] \[=28:22\]or \[14:11\]
