i think answer should be root 2 .. but its choice is not there ...

this is exp..
since side of square is 1, its diagnoal would be root 2, which would be diameter of circle ...

so q=diagnol=root 2

the answer is one 1 i think coz side is one so dia is one then radius is o.5 ...so on

since the sqr is unit tha radious of o'le is 0.5.perimeter=2pi*r=pi*q so 2r=q=2*0.5=1

since the square is circumscribing the circle its sides touches the circle and hence circles diameter should be equal to the side of the square = 1 units..hence 2 r = 1 units that is q =1

A. guys the unit square is circumscribed about the circle thus it means that the circle lies inside the circle -> diameter of the circle= side of the square = 1.

-> 2r= q=1.
