There are two circles, one circle is inscribed and another
circle is circumscribed over a square. What is the ratio of
area of inner to outer circle?

Answer Posted / amit uniyal

the inner circle will have radius as half the square's side
( say 'a')... so radius be a/2...
the outer circle will have radius as half of diagonal i.e. a
(2)^0.5divided by 2.
so ratio will be = (pi*r1^2)/(pi*r2^2)= (a^2/4)/(a^2/2)=1/2
Therefore Answer= 1/2.
