Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Let a be the side of equilateral triangle.

$ \therefore $ $ \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^{2}=121\sqrt{3} $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ a^{2}=121\times 4 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ a=11\times 2=22cm $

$ \therefore $ Perimeter of triangle $ =3\times 22=66cm $

$ \Rightarrow $ Circumference of circle = Perimeter of equilateral triangle

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 2\pi r=66 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ r=\frac{66\times 7}{2\times 22}=\frac{21}{2}=10.5 $ Hence, area of circle $ =\pi (r^{2}) $ $ =\frac{22}{7}\times {{(10.5)}^{2}}=346.5cm^{2} $
