Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
Area of circle = 38.5
πr2 = 38.5
r2 = $$\frac{{385}}{{10}} \times \frac{7}{{22}}$$
r = $$\frac{7}{2}$$ cm
MN = 2r = 7 cm

$${\sqrt 2 }$$ a = 7 cm
a = $$\frac{7}{{\sqrt 2 }}$$ cm
Side of square EFGH = 2 × a
EG = 7$${\sqrt 2 }$$ cm

$${\sqrt 2 }$$ b = 7$${\sqrt 2 }$$
b = 7 cm
Side of square ABCD = 7 × 2 = 14 cm
Area = a2 = 142 = 196 cm2
