Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(A B C D\) is a square with side 16 units let \(a=16\) units Centre of the circle \(O\left(\frac{a}{2}, \frac{a}{2}\right)\) \[ A C=\sqrt{(a-0)^2+(a-0)^2}=\sqrt{2} a \] So, radius of circle \(=\frac{A C}{2}=\frac{\sqrt{2} a}{2}=\frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}\) \(\therefore\) Equation of…
