D. `(r )/(R )=(1)/(4)`
Correct Answer – C
ODEI is a square , hence, OD = OI
Now, `OI = sqrt(R^(2)-2Rr)`
`therefore sqrt(R^(2)-2Rr) = R cos A`
`rArr R^(2)-2Rr = R^(2)cos^(2)A`
or `1-cos^(2)A=(2r)/(R )` Also `cos A = (r )/(R )`
`rArr 1-((r )/(R ))^(2)=(2r)/(R )`
`rArr ((r )/(R ))^(2)+(2r)/(R )-1=0`
`rArr (r )/(R )= sqrt(2)-1`
