Correct Answer: 7 cm
Solution : Side of square = 11 cm Perimeter of square = 4 × side Perimeter of square = 4 × 11 = 44 cm Circumference of circle = 2π$r$ where $r$ is the radius of the circle. The perimeter of the square = Circumference of the circle ⇒ $44= 2πr$ ⇒ $44 = 2 \times{\frac{22}{7}} \times {\text{r}}$ ⇒ $r = 7$ cm Hence, the correct answer is 7 cm.
