If the circumference of a circle is equal to the perimeter of a square then the ratio their areas is:
(a) 22 : 7
(b) 14 :11
(c) 7 :22
(d) 7 :11
It is given that circumference of a circle = perimeter of a square
We have to find the ratio of their areas
Let the radius of circle = r
Let the circumference of circle =
Let the area of circle =
Let the side of the square = b
Let the perimeter of square =
Let the area of square =
Therefore
Circumference of circle $P_{c}=2 \pi r$
Perimeter of square $P_{s}=4 b$
$P_{c}=P_{s}$
$2 \pi r=4 b$
$b=\frac{\pi r}{2}$.....(1)
Area of Circle $A_{c}=\pi r^{2}$
Area of Square $A_{n}=b^{2}$
$=\left(\frac{\pi r}{2}\right)^{2}$ [From Equation (1)]
$=\frac{\pi^{2} r^{2}}{4}$
$\operatorname{Now} \frac{A_{c}}{A_{s}}=\frac{\pi r^{2}}{\frac{\pi^{2} r^{2}}{4}}$
$=\frac{4}{\pi}$
$=\frac{4}{\frac{22}{7}}$
$=\frac{14}{11}$ or $14: 11$
Hence Option (b) is correct.
