Largest circle that can be inscribed in a square will have its diameter as the edge length of square.
i.e. Diameter (d) = \(11\)
Col. A: \(\frac{π(d^2)}{4} = \frac{121π}{4}\)
Col. B: \(\frac{3(11^2)}{4} = \frac{3(121)}{4}\)
Just Compare \(π\) with \(3\).
Since \(π > 3\)
Col. A > Col. B
Hence, option B
