The area of a square inscribed in a semicircle is to the area of the square inscribed in the entire circle as
Let side of square inscribed in the semi circle be $$a$$ cm and radius of semi circle = $$r$$ cm
In right $$\triangle$$, => $$r^2=a^2+(\frac{a}{2})^2$$
=> $$r^2=a^2+\frac{a^2}{4}$$
=> $$r^2=\frac{5a^2}{4}$$
=> $$a^2=\frac{4r^2}{5}$$ --------------(i)
Similarly, let side of another square be $$b$$ cm and radius of same circle = $$r$$ cm
=> $$b^2+b^2=(2r)^2$$
=> $$b^2=2r^2$$ --------------(ii)
$$\therefore$$ Ratio of area of first square to area of second square = $$\frac{a^2}{b^2}$$
Substituting values from equation (i) and (ii), => $$\frac{\frac{4r^2}{5}}{2r^2}$$
= $$2:5$$
=> Ans - (C)
