The radius of a circle is $5: m$. Find the circumference of the circle whose area is $49$ times the area of the given circle.

  1. $220 : m$

  2. $120 : m$

  3. $320 : m$

  4. $420 : m$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Radius of given circle $=5\ cm$
Therefore,
Area of given circle $=\pi (5)^2$
                              $=25\pi\ cm^2$
Let radius of required circle $ =r$
Therefore,
$\pi r^2=49\times 25\pi$
$\Rightarrow r^2=(7\times 5)^2$
$\Rightarrow r=35$
Therefore,
Circumference $=2\pi r$
                       $=2\times \frac { 22 }{ 7 }\times35$
                       $=220\ m$

Find the area of a ring whose outer and inner radii are $19\ cm$ and $16\ cm$ respectively.

  1. $330\ cm^2$

  2. $310\ cm^2$

  3. $320\ cm^2$

  4. $350\ cm^2$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Area of outer circle $=\pi{(19)}^2$
                                 $=\cfrac{22}{7}\times 361$
Area of inner circle $=\pi{(16)}^2$
                                 $=\cfrac{22}{7}\times 256$
$\therefore$ area of the ring $=\dfrac{22}{7}\times 361-\dfrac{22}{7}\times 256$
                              $=\cfrac{22}{7}(361-256)$
                              $=\cfrac{22}{7}(105)$
                              $=330\ cm^2$

The area enclosed between two concentric circle is $770$ $cm^2$. If the radius of the outer circle is $21$ $cm$, calculate the radius of the inner circle.

  1. $7$ $cm$

  2. $14$ $cm$

  3. $2.1$ $cm$

  4. $35$ $cm$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Let radius of the inner circle be $r$ and radius of the outer circle be $R=21cm$


Area enclosed between the two concentric circles $=\pi(R^2-r^2)=770cm^2$

$\Rightarrow 770=\pi(R^2-r^2)$

$\Rightarrow 770=\dfrac{22}{7}(21^2-r^2)$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{770\times 7}{22}=441-r^2$

$\Rightarrow 245=441-r^2$

$\Rightarrow r^2=196$

$\Rightarrow r=\sqrt{196}$

$\Rightarrow r=14$

Thus, radius of the inner circle $=14$ $cm$

$=\pi(r^2+h^2+2hr-r^2)$
$=\pi(h^2+2hr)$
$=\pi(h+2r)h$

The ratio of the outer and inner circumferences of a circular path is $23:22$, If the path is $5\ m$ wide, the radius of the inner circle is: 

  1. $55\ m$

  2. $110\ m$

  3. $220\ m$

  4. $230\ m$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Given: $r _1=5+r _2$
$\displaystyle \frac {2\pi r _1}{2\pi r _2}=\frac {23}{22}$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow \frac {r _1}{r _2}=\frac {23}{22}$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow \frac {5+r _2}{r _2}=\frac {23}{22}$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow 110+22r _2=23r _2$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow r _2=110\ m$
$\therefore $ Radius of inner circle$=110\ m$

A circular park has a path of uniform width around it. The difference between the outer and inner circumferences of the circular park is $132$ m. Its width is

  1. $20$ m

  2. $21$ m

  3. $22$ m

  4. $24$ m


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Let $r _1$ and $C _1$ be the radius and the circumference of the outer circle.
Let $r _2$ and $C _2$ be the radius and the circumference of the inner circle.
The width of the circular path is $(r _1-r _2)$ m.
Given, $C _1-C _2=132$ m
$\Rightarrow 2\pi r _1 - 2\pi r _2=132$
$\Rightarrow 2\pi (r _1-r _2)=132$
$\Rightarrow r _1-r _2=\cfrac{66}{\dfrac{22}{7}}$
$\Rightarrow r _1-r _2=21$
Thus, width of the circular path is $21$ m.

  1. $70\ m$

  2. $56\ m$

  3. $77\ m$

  4. $84\ m$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Inner circumference $= \displaystyle 2\pi r=2\times \frac{22}{7}\times r=\frac{44r}{7}$
Given $\displaystyle \frac{44r}{7}=440\Rightarrow r=\frac{440\times 7}{44}=70\ m$
$\displaystyle \therefore $ Radius of outer circle $= 70\ m + 14\ m = 84\ m$ 

If the perimeter of a semi-circle is $36\ cm$. What will be its diameter?

  2. $22\ cm$

  3. $28\ cm$

  4. $14\ cm$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Perimeter of semicircle$=36cm$
$\pi r+d=36$
$\Rightarrow \pi r+2r=36$
$\Rightarrow r\left( \cfrac { 22 }{ 7 } +2 \right) =36$
$\Rightarrow \cfrac { 36 }{ 7 } \times r=36$
$\Rightarrow r=7$
$\therefore $ Diameter $2r=2\times 7=14cm$

  2. $\displaystyle 73:\text{cm}^{2}$

  3. $\displaystyle 37:\text{cm}^{2}$

  4. $\displaystyle 33\ \text{cm}^{2}$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Let '$a$' be the length of each side of the square
Then $\displaystyle a^{2}=81\Rightarrow a=9$ cm
Length of wire $=$ Perimeter of square
=$ 4a= 36$ cm
$\displaystyle \Rightarrow $ Circuference of semicircle $= 36$ cm
$\displaystyle \Rightarrow \pi r+2r=36$

$ \displaystyle \Rightarrow r\left ( \pi +2 \right )=36$
$\displaystyle \Rightarrow  r =\dfrac{36}{\pi +2}=\dfrac{36}{\dfrac{22}{7}+2}=\dfrac{36\times 7}{\left ( 22+14 \right )}=\dfrac{36\times 7}{36}$ cm $=7$ cm
$\displaystyle \therefore \ \text{Area of the semicircle}=\frac{1}{2}\pi r^{2}$
$\displaystyle =\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{22}{7}\times 7\times \text{cm}^{2}=77\text{cm}^{2}$

If the radii of two concentric circles are $15\ cm$ and $13\ cm$ respectively then the area of the circulating ring in sq cm will be

  1. $176$

  2. $178$

  3. $180$

  4. $200$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$R = 15\ cm, r = 13\ cm$
Area of the circulating ring 
$\displaystyle = \pi \left(R^2-r^2\right)$

$\displaystyle =\pi \left ( R+r \right )\left ( R-r \right )$
$\displaystyle =\frac{22}{7}\left ( 15+13 \right )\times \left ( 15-13 \right )$
$\displaystyle \frac{22}{7}\times 28\times2$
$= 176$ sq cm

A semicircle is drawn with $AB$ as its diameter. From $C$ a point on $AB$ a line perpendicular to $AB$ is drawn meeting the circumference of the semicircle at $D$. Given that $AC = 2\ cm$ and $CD = 6\ cm$ the area of the semicircle is :

  1. $\displaystyle 32\pi $

  2. $\displaystyle 50\pi $

  3. $\displaystyle 40\pi $

  4. $\displaystyle 36\pi $


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Let O be the centre of the circle. Then, $OA = OB = OD= r$
Now, $OC = r - 2$
and $CD = 6$
Thus, in $\triangle ODC$
$OC^2 + CD^2 = OD^2$
$(r - 2)^2 + 6^2 = r^2$
$r^2 + 4 - 4r + 36 = r^2$
$4r = 40$
$r = 10$ $cm$
Area of semicircle $= \dfrac{\pi r^2}{2} = \dfrac{\pi (10)^2}{2} = 50 \pi$

If a wire is bent into the shape of a square, then the area of the square is $81\ cm^{2}$. When the same wire is bent into a semi-circular shape, then the area of the semi circle will be

  1. $22\ cm^{2}$

  2. $44\ cm^{2}$

  3. $77\ cm^{2}$

  4. $154\ cm^{2}$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Let the side of the square be $a$ cm

Thus, perimeter is $4a$ and area of the square is $a^2$
$\therefore a^2=81$
$\Rightarrow a=\sqrt{81}$
$\Rightarrow a=9$
Thus, perimeter $=4 \times 9$ $=36$ cm
Now, wire is bent into a semicircle.
Therefore, $2r+πr=36$
$⇒r(π+2)=36$ $
$⇒r=\cfrac{36}{\dfrac{22}{7}+2}$

$⇒r=\cfrac { 36 }{\dfrac{36}{7}}$
$⇒r=7$ cm

Area of semicircle $=\cfrac{1}{2}πr^2$
$=\cfrac{1}{2}×\cfrac{22}{7}×7×7$
$=77\ cm^2$

The inner circumference of a circular tracks is $220\ m$. The track is $7$ $m$ wide everywhere. Calculate the cost of putting up a fence along the outer circle at the rate of Rs. $2$ per metre. Use $\pi=\displaystyle\frac{22}{7}$

  1. Rs. $947$

  2. Rs. $726$

  3. Rs. $612$

  4. Rs. $528$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Circumference of inner side = $220 m$


$\Rightarrow 2\pi r=220\Rightarrow r=\dfrac { 220\times 7 }{ 44 } =35m$


Now, width of track  $=7m$

$\therefore $ Outer radius $=35+7 = 42 m$

Therefore outer circumference  $=2\pi R=2\times \dfrac { 22 }{ 7 } \times 42=264m$

$\therefore $ Cost of fencing $=$ Rs. $\left( 264\times 2 \right) $ $=$ Rs. $528$

The areas of two concentric circles forming a ring are 154 sq cm and 616 sq cm The breadth of the ring is

  1. $21 cm$

  2. $56 cm$

  3. $14 cm$

  4. $7 cm$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Breadth of the ring is equal to the difference between the radius of the outer circle and the radius of the inner circle
Given the area of outer circle=616$\displaystyle cm^{2}$
$\displaystyle \Rightarrow  \pi r _{2}^{2}=616 cm^{2}$
$\displaystyle \Rightarrow r _{1}^{2}=\frac{616\times 7}{22}=196$
$\displaystyle \therefore r _{1}=14 cm $
and the area of the inner circle $\displaystyle =154 cm^{2}$
$\displaystyle \Rightarrow \pi r _{2}^{2}= 154$
$\displaystyle \Rightarrow r _{2}^{2}=\frac{154\times 7}{22}=49$
$\displaystyle \therefore r _{2}=7 cm.$
$\displaystyle \therefore $ The required answer $\displaystyle =r _{1}-r _{2}=14-7=7 cm.$

If the difference between the circumference and radius of a circle is 37 cm, then the area of the circle is

  1. $111 cm^2$

  2. $148 cm^2$

  3. $259 cm^2$

  4. $154 cm^2$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Consider the difference between circumference and radius.


Taking$\pi $ as $3.14$ will give an approximate answer. we can do it by taking $22/7$ as wel


Let, the radius be$ r cm$


Circumference will be,

$2r=2\times 3.14r=6.28r$


ATQ,  $6.28r-1.r=37$

$5.28r=37$

 $r=\dfrac{37}{5.28}$

$r=$approx. $7 cm$ 

Area$=\pi {{r}^{2}}=3.14\times 7\times 7=154c{{m}^{2}}$


Hence, this is the answer.

If the circumference of a circle is reduced by 50%, then the area will be reduced by

  1. 50%

  2. 25%

  3. 75%

  4. 12.5%


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Let the original radius be $r$.
So, the area of circle $=\pi r^2$             $....... (1)$

Since, the circumference of the circle is reduced by $50\%$.
It means that the radius of the circle is also reduced by $50\%$.

Then,
The new radius $=0.5r$

Therefore, the new area
$=\pi (0.5r)^2$
$=0.25\pi r^2$

Therefore, the required $\%$
$=\dfrac{\pi r^2-0.25\pi r^2}{\pi r^2}\times 100$
$=\dfrac{0.75\pi r^2}{\pi r^2}\times 100$
$=75\%$

Hence, this is the answer.

The area in ( ${cm^2}$) of the largest triangle that can be inscribed in a semicircle of radius r cm is 

  1. ${\cfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2}$

  2. ${2r^2}$

  3. ${r^2}$

  4. ${\cfrac{1}{2}\pi r^2}$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The largest triangle inscribed in a semicircle has a height = radius of the circle

base = diameter of the circle
$\therefore$ Area of a triangle $=\dfrac{1}{2}\times base\times height$
                                  $=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2r \times r=r^2$
Hence, option C is correct.

Radius of a marry-go-round is $7\ m$. At its edge, at equal distances swings are suspended. If length of an arc between two successive swings is $4$ metre, then find the number of swings that marry-go-round has.

  1. $13\ swings$.

  2. $11\ swings$.

  3. $15\ swings$.

  4. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Radius of the merry go round, r = 7m

Perimeter of the merry go round = 2 x pi x r = 2 x 22 / 7 x 7 = 44 m
Arc distance between two swings = 4 m
Hence nos. of swings, n on a circle, should satisfy the following equation:
nx arc distance between two swings = Perimeter of the merry go round
Hence, n x 4 = 44
Hence, n = 44/4 = 11
Hence there are 11 swings on the merry go round.
Correct answer is option (B)

Area of the largest triangle that can be inscribed in a semi-circle of radius $r$ units is

  1. $r^2$ sq. units

  2. $\dfrac{1}{2} r^2$ sq. units

  3. $2r^2$ sq. units

  4. $\sqrt{2} r^2$ sq. units


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The area of a triangle is equal to the base times the height.
In a semi circle, the diameter is the base of the semi-circle.
This is equal to $2\times r$ (r = the radius)
If the triangle is an isosceles triangle with an angle of $45^\circ$ at each end, then the height of the triangle is also a radius of the circle.
A = $\frac{1}{2} \times b \times h$ formula for the area of a triangle becomes
A = $\frac{1}{2}\times 2 \times r \times r$ because:
The base of the triangle is equal to $2\times r$
The height of the triangle is equal to r
A = $\frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times r \times r$ becomes:
A = $r^2$

If a circular grass lawn of $35\ m$ in radius has a path $7\ m$ wide running around it on the outside, then the area of the path is

  1. $1450\ m^2$

  2. $1576\ m^2$

  3. $1694\ m^2$

  4. $3368\ m^2$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Radius of bigger circle(with the path) = $35 + 7 = 42\ m.$
Thus area of the path $=$ Area of bigger circle $-$ Area of smaller circle
$\therefore$ Required area $= \pi (42)^2 - \pi (35)^2 = \dfrac{22}{7} \times (42 + 35)(42 - 35) = 22 \times 77 = 1694\ m^2$

A wire in the shape of an equilateral triangle encloses an area $s$ sq. cm  If the same wire is bent to form circle, the area of the circle will be

  1. $\displaystyle \frac{\pi s^{2}}{9}$

  2. $\displaystyle \frac{3s^{2}}{\pi }$

  3. $\displaystyle \frac{3s}{\pi }$

  4. $\displaystyle \frac{3\sqrt{3}s}{\pi }$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Area of equilateral triangle $= s$ sq.cm
$\Rightarrow  \dfrac{\sqrt3}{4} a^2 = s$, [where $a$, the side of equilateral triangle]
$\Rightarrow a= \sqrt{\dfrac{4s}{\sqrt3}}$
Now perimeter of equilateral triangle $ 3\times a =3 \times\sqrt{\dfrac{4s}{\sqrt 3}}$ cm 
Circumference of circle $=$ perimeter of equilateral triangle
$\Rightarrow 2\pi r= 3 \times\sqrt{\dfrac{4s}{\sqrt 3}}$, [where $r$ the radius of circle]
Solve the above expression for $r$, we get 
$r= \dfrac{3}{2\pi} \times \sqrt{\dfrac{4s}{\sqrt 3}}$
Area of circle $=\pi r^2 = \pi \times \left ( \dfrac{3}{2\pi} \times \sqrt{\dfrac{4s}{\sqrt 3}} \right )^2$
After simplification, we get
Area of circle $=\dfrac{3s\sqrt3}{\pi}$ sq.cm

A bicycle wheel has diameter 1m. If the bicycle travels one kilometer, then the number of revolutions the wheel make is.

  1. $\dfrac {1}{\Pi }$

  2. $\dfrac {100}{\Pi }$

  3. $\dfrac {500}{\Pi }$

  4. $\dfrac {1000}{\Pi }$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Let the number of revolution of the wheel is n.
Then,
n $\times$ circumference of wheel = Distance travelled by bicycle
$n \times  2\Pi  \times \frac {1}{2}=1$ kilometer 
$n \times  \Pi $=1000 meter
$n=\frac {1000}{\Pi }$

A dog is chained on a $6\ ft$ leash, fastened to the corner of a rectangular building. Calculate, about how much area does the dog have to move in.

  1. $27\ ft^{2}$

  2. $36\ ft^{2}$

  3. $56.55\ ft^{2}$

  4. $84.82\ ft^{2}$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A dog is chained on a $6$ ft leash to the corner of a rectangular building.
Since the building is rectangular, the dog is left with an angle of $360 - 90 = 270^o$ for it to roam around.
Also, the length of the leash will act as the radius of this sector.
$\therefore$ Area of the sector $= \cfrac{270}{360} \times \pi \times 6^2$
$= \cfrac{3}{4} \times \pi \times 36$
$= 84.82 \ \ ft^2$
