Sorry that was a typo....my answer is D.

let the side of the triangle be t
area of the triangle would be - 1/2 * t * (square root 3) / 2 * t = 9 3 ^ 1/2.
the side would also be the diameter of the circle. using this u can find the area of the circle.

Side of an equilateral triangle can never be the diameter of the circle. draw a circle with a triangle inscribed in it. Refer to the link listed above by "amitansu". It literally shows you how C is the answer.

I was right upto calculating the height of the triangle. But wasnt aware of this - Finally , R (Circum radius)=2/3 * Height

Is this formula only applicable when the triangle is equilateral??

Well it depends upon the question, but rest assured that it is a standard formula for equilateral triangle.
