Correct Answer: Area of the circle > Area of the square
Solution : Let the radius of the circle be '$r$' and side of the square be 'a' Since the perimeter of a square = circumference of a circle ⇒ 4a = 2$\pi r$ ⇒ a = $\frac{\pi r}{2}$ ⇒ Area of Square = $(\frac{\pi r}{2})^{2}$ ⇒ $\frac{\text{Area of circle}}{\text{Area of square}} = \frac{\pi r^{2}}{(\frac{\pi r}{2})^{2}}=\frac{4}{\pi}$ > 1 So, the area of the circle > the area of the square. Hence, the correct answer is Area of the circle > Area of the square.
