Let $ABCD$ be a square. An arc of a circle with $A$ as center and $AB$ as radius is drawn inside the square joining the points $B$ and $D$. Points $P$ on $AB$,$S$ on $AD$,$Q$ and $R$ on $\operatorname{arc} BD$ are taken such that $PQRS$ is a square. Further suppose that $PQ$ and $RS$ are parallel to $AC$. Then,$\frac{\text{Area}(PQRS)}{\text{Area}(ABCD)}$ is
