vertex Q of square OPQR is on circle with centre O
=> radius of the circle = diagonal of the square
area of square is \(a^2\) = 8
=> a = \(2\sqrt{2}\)
diagonal of the square = \(\sqrt{a^2 + a^2}\)
=> diagonal = \(\sqrt{8 + 8}\)
=> diagonal = \(\sqrt{16}\) = 4
=> radius of the circle = 4
=> Area of the circle = \(4^2 \pi\) = \(16 \pi\)
Hence option C

As per figure,Diagonal (\(diagonal_{square}\)) of Square is equal to Radius of circle.
Area of Square = \(\frac{1}{2}*Diagonal_{square}^2=8\)
\(Diagonal_{square}^2=16\);
As \(Diagonal_{square}\) = Radius of circle
\({Radius}^2 =16\)
Area of circle= \(\pi *\) \({Radius}^2=\pi*16\)
