A square and an equilateral triangle have the same perimeter. Let A be the area of the circle circumscribed about the square and-B be the area of the circle circumscribed about thetriangle. Then the ratio A: B is
Let the common perimeter be $$c$$
So, each side of square = $$\frac{c}{4}$$
=> Circum radius of square = $$r_s=\frac{s}{\sqrt2}=\frac{c}{4\sqrt2}$$
Thus, area of circle circumscribed about the square will be
=> $$A=\pi (r_s)^2=\pi\frac{c^2}{32}$$ -------------(i)
Now, each side of triangle = $$\frac{c}{3}$$
=> Height of triangle = $$\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\times\frac{c}{3}$$
=> Circum radius of triangle = $$r_t=\frac{2}{3}\times(\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\times\frac{c}{3})=\frac{c}{3\sqrt3}$$
So area of the circle circumscribed about the triangle
=> $$B=\pi (r_t)^2=\pi\frac{c^2}{27}$$ -----------(ii)
$$\therefore$$ Required ratio $$A:B=27:32$$
=> Ans - (C)
