B. use the given ratio to convert the radius so, 7/8. area: (7/8)^2 * 3.
I heard we can use Pie=3 on gmat, is that true?

I have seen different values used in different problems. I think it depends on the question and the values given to you. For some 22/7 works very nice as it cancels the given values!
