Lets side of square be 'x' and radius of circle be 'r'.
So, 4x = P ....(1)
Also, the circle is inscribed in the square
=> x = 2r ....(2)
Area of circle, A = pi * r * r
=> A = pi * (x/2) * (x/2) (from 2)
=> 4A = pi * (x^2) .... (3)
It is given that
P = 4A
=> 4x = pi * (x^2) (from 1 and 3)
=> x = 4 / pi
So, the answer is A
