Question

A wire would enclose an area of 1936 m2, if it is bent into a square. The wire is cut into two pieces. The longer piece is thrice as long as the shorter piece. The long and the short pieces are bent into a square and a circle, respectively. Which of the following choices is closest to the sum of the areas enclosed by the two pieces in square meters?

The correct answer is

1243

The original square has side 44 m, so wire length is 176 m. The longer and shorter pieces are 132 m and 44 m. The new square has area 33² = 1089 m², while the circle has area 44²/(4π) ≈ 154.06 m². The total is closest to 1243 m².
