A wire of length 8 units is cut into two parts which are bent respectively in the form of a square and a circle. The least value of the sum of the areas so formed is

  1. A \(\frac{8}{\pi+4}\)
  2. B \(\frac{64}{\pi+4}\)
  3. C \(\frac{2}{\pi+4}\)
  4. D \(\frac{16}{\pi+4}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{16}{\pi+4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the length of the wire for the square be \(x\) and for the circle be \(8-x\). Area of square: \(A_s = \left(\frac{x}{4}\right)^2 = \frac{x^2}{16}\)
