Let the side of the square be 'a' and let the radius of the circle be 'r'
Then, a2 = πr2
⇒ a2 / r2 = π
⇒ a / r = √πCorrect Option: A
Let the side of the square be 'a' and let the radius of the circle be 'r'
Then, a2 = πr2
⇒ a2 / r2 = π
⇒ a / r = √π
∴ a : r = √π : 1

Let the number of boys and girls be x and y respectively. Then
From question, (x - y ) = 12% of (x + y)Correct Option: B
Let the number of boys and girls be x and y respectively. Then
From question, (x - y ) = 12% of (x + y)
⇒ x/y = 3/25 (x + y )
⇒ 25x - 25y = 3x + 3y
⇒ 22x = 28y
∴ x / y = 28 / 22 = 14 / 11
