"GEOMETRY QUESTION OF THE DAY"

A semi-circle is surmounted on the side of a square. The ratio of the area of the semi-circle to the area of the square is
  1. 1 : 2
  2. 2 : p
  3. p : 8
  4. 8 : p
  5. None of the above

  1. The information shown on the figure has nothing to do with the solution. As the circle isnt touching the sides of square & somewhere in the middle.

    Assume Square is having side x then the semicircle formed on one of the side will hv dia of x. Ie
    so ratio= area of Semicircle/area of square i.e.
    [pi/2 * (x/2)power of 2] / x power of 2

    Pi/8
