Given:

Nine times the area of a circle is the same as the three times the area of a square.

Formula used:

Area of a circle = πr2 (r = radius)

Diameter = 2 × radius

Area of a square = a2. (a is the side of the square)

The diagonal of the square = a√2

Calculation:

As per the question,

9πr= 3 a2

⇒ 3πr2 =  a2

  =  a/r

⇒  2r / a√2  = √2 : 

The correct option is 1
