  1. A square and a regular hexagon are drawn such that all the vertices of the square and the hexagon are on a circle of radius r cm. The ratio of area of the square and the hexagon is
    1. 3 : 4
    2. 4 : 3√3
    3. 2 : √3
    4. 1 : √2
Correct Option: B


Diagonal of square = 2r cm.

∴ Area of square =
1
× (2r)² = 2r² sq.cm.
2

Area of ∆OAB =
3
r² sq.cm.
4

∴ Area of hexagon =
6√3
4

=
3√3
r² sq.cm.
2

∴ Required ratio = 2r² :
3√3
2

= 4 : 3√3
