The circumference of a circle is 100 cm. The side of a square inscribed in the circle is :

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option C
$$\eqalign{ & 2\pi R = 100 \cr & R = \frac{{100}}{{2\pi }} = \frac{{50}}{\pi } \cr & R = \frac{1}{2} \times {\text{diagonal}} \cr & \Rightarrow {\text{Diagonal}} = 2R \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{2 \times 50}}{\pi } \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{100}}{\pi } \cr} $$
$$\eqalign{ & \therefore {\text{Area of the square}} = \frac{1}{2} \times {\left( {{\text{diagonal}}} \right)^2} \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{a^2}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{1}{2} \times {\left( {\frac{{100}}{\pi }} \right)^2} \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,a\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }} \times \frac{{100}}{\pi } \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,a\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{50\sqrt 2 }}{\pi }cm \cr} $$
