A circle and a rectangle have the same perimeter. The sides of the rectangle are 18 cm and 26 cm. The area of the circle is (Take π = 22/7)

1. 125 cm²
2. 230 cm²
3. 550 cm²
4. 616 cm²

Correct Option: D

Using Rule 14,
2πr = 2 (18 + 26)

⇒ 2 ×	22	× r = 44 × 2
	7

⇒ r = 14 cm
∴ Area of circle = πr²

=	22	× 14 × 14 = 616 sq. cm.
