Correct answer: A

  1. Find the radius of the incircle of the equilateral triangle

For an equilateral triangle of side a=12a=12a=12, the inradius is

r=a36r=\frac{a\sqrt{3}}{6}r=6a3​​

So,

r=1236=23r=\frac{12\sqrt{3}}{6}=2\sqrt{3}r=6123​​=23​

  1. Square inscribed in the circle

A square inscribed in a circle has its diagonal equal to the diameter of the circle.

Diameter of the circle:

d=2r=43d=2r=4\sqrt{3}d=2r=43​

Let the side of the square be sss. Then

s2=d=43s\sqrt{2}=d=4\sqrt{3}s2​=d=43​

Hence,

s=432=26s=\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}}=2\sqrt{6}s=2​43​​=26​

  1. Find area and perimeter of the square

Area:

m=s2=(26)2=24m=s^2=(2\sqrt{6})^2=24m=s2=(26​)2=24

Perimeter:

n=4s=4(26)=86n=4s=4(2\sqrt{6})=8\sqrt{6}n=4s=4(26​)=86​

  1. Compute m+n2m+n^2m+n2

n2=(86)2=64⋅6=384n^2=(8\sqrt{6})^2=64\cdot 6=384n2=(86​)2=64⋅6=384

Therefore,

m+n2=24+384=408m+n^2=24+384=408m+n2=24+384=408

  1. Compare with options

Thus the correct option is:

408\boxed{408}408​

which is Option A.

  1. Verification with stored answer

Stored correct answer: A

Our derived answer is also A.
