Answer(B) 14 : 11

Solution

According to question

2 \pi r=4a                 (Because perimeter of circle = 2πr   Perimeter of square =4 \times side)

\pi r=2a               (here side of square =a)

a=\frac{\pi r}{2}\\\\ \therefore \frac{Area \; of \; circle}{Area \; of\; square}=\frac{\pi r^{2}}{\left (\frac{\pi r}{2} \right )^{2}}=\frac{\pi r^{2}}{\pi r^{2}}\times \frac{4}{\pi}=\frac{4 \times 7}{22}=\frac{14}{11}  (Using area of square = a2)

 Hence ratio of their areas is 14: 11
