The ratio of the areas of the in-circle and the circum-circle of a square is :

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option A
Let r1 and r2 be the radii of the in-circle and circum-circle of a square respectively and let each side of the square be a.
Then,
$$\eqalign{ & {r_1} = \frac{a}{2} \cr & {r_2} = \frac{1}{2} \times {\text{diagonal of the sequence}} \cr & {r_2} = \frac{1}{2} \times \sqrt 2 a \cr & {r_2} = \frac{{\sqrt 2 a}}{2}cm \cr} $$
∴ Required ratio :
$$\eqalign{ & = \frac{{\pi \times {{\left( {\frac{a}{2}} \right)}^2}}}{{\pi \times {{\left( {\frac{{\sqrt 2 a}}{2}} \right)}^2}}} \cr & = 1:2 \cr} $$
