    Question

    If perimeters of a square, circle and equilateral triangle are same, then minimum area will be, of:

    A.

    Square

    B.

    Circle

    C.

    Equilateral triangle

    D.

    None of these

    Correct option is C

    Given:
    The perimeters of a square, circle and equilateral triangle are same
    Let:
    P=44,π=227 P = 44, \quad \pi = \frac{22}{7} \\[8pt]​​
    Then:
    Square:
    P=4a a=444=11As=a2=112=121P = 4a \implies a = \frac{44}{4} = 11 \\[4pt]A{_s} = a^2 = 11^2 = 121 \\[12pt]​​
    Circle:
    P=2πr r=442×227=44×744=7Ac=πr2=227×72=227×49=154P = 2\pi r \implies r = \frac{44}{2 \times \frac{22}{7}} = \frac{44 \times 7}{44} = 7 \\[4pt]A_c = \pi r^2 = \frac{22}{7} \times 7^2 = \frac{22}{7} \times 49 = 154 \\[12pt]​​
    Equilateral Triangle:
    P=3a a=44314.67At=34a2=34(443)2=34×1936993.3P = 3a \implies a = \frac{44}{3} \approx 14.67 \\[4pt]A_t = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^2 = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\left(\frac{44}{3}\right)^2= \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times \frac{1936}{9} \approx 93.3 \\[12pt]​​
    Comparison
    At93.3 (minimum),As=121,Ac=154 (maximum)A_t \approx 93.3 \; (\text{minimum}), \quad \\A_s = 121, \quad \\A_c = 154 \; (\text{maximum}) \\[8pt]​​
    Correct answer is (C) – Equilateral triangle
