Given:

A wire in the form of square with side= 11 cm

It is bent to form a circle.

Concept used:

Perimeter of square= 4 × side

Circumference of circle= 2πr

Calculation:

Side of square= 11cm

Perimeter of square= 4 × 11= 44cm

Perimeter of square= Circumference of circle

44= 2πr

⇒ 44=  2 × 22/7 × r

⇒ r = 7cm

∴ Option 4 is the correct answer.
