Correct answer: B. 3a² = 2b²
Explanation
For a square inscribed in a circle of radius R, the diagonal is the diameter, so a√2 = 2R and a² = 2R². For an equilateral triangle inscribed in the same circle, b = R√3, so b² = 3R². Dividing, a²/b² = 2/3, that is 3a² = 2b².R त्रिज्या वाले वृत्त के अन्तर्गत वर्ग का विकर्ण व्यास होता है, अतः a√2 = 2R और a² = 2R²। उसी वृत्त के अन्तर्गत समबाहु त्रिभुज के लिए b = R√3, अतः b² = 3R²। भाग देने पर a²/b² = 2/3, अर्थात् 3a² = 2b²।More Mathematics & Numerical Ability questions
