    Ratio of the areas of the circumcircle and incircle of a square
    = [(Diagonal)2π] / [(Side)2π]

    Correct Option: A

    Ratio of the areas of the circumcircle and incircle of a square
    = [(Diagonal)2π] / [(Side)2π]
    = [(Side x √2)2] / (Side)2 = 2/1 or 2 : 1


  1. The radius of a circle is so increased that its circumference increased by 5%. The area of the circle, then increases by











  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Increase in circumference of circle = 5%
    ∴ Increase in radius is also 5%.
    Now, increase in area of circle = 2a + (a2/100) %

    Correct Option: B

    Increase in circumference of circle = 5%
    ∴ Increase in radius is also 5%.
    Now, increase in area of circle = 2a + (a2/100) %
    Where, a = increase in radius= 2 x 5 + (5 x 5)/100 % = 10.25%



  1. The area of a circle is increased by 22 sq cm when its radius is increased by 1 cm. Find the original radius of the circle.

    Let original radius be r.
    Then, according to the questions,
    π (r + 1)2 - πr2 = 22

    Correct Option: C

    Let original radius be r.
    Then, according to the questions,
    π (r + 1)2 - πr2 = 22
    ⇒ π x [(r + 1)2 - r2] = 22
    ⇒ (22/7) x (r + 1 + r ) x (r + 1 - r) = 22
    ⇒ 2r + 1 = 7
    ⇒ 2r = 6
    ∴ r = 6/2 = 3 cm


  1. Find the length of a rope by which a cow must be tethered in order that it may be able to graze an area of 154 sq m.

    Length of to the rope = Radius of circle
    According to the question,
    πr2 = 154

    Correct Option: A

    Length of to the rope = Radius of circle
    According to the question,
    πr2 = 154
    ∴ r2 = 154 x (7/22) = 7 x 7 = 49
    ∴ r = √49 = 7 m



  1. A man riding a bicycle, completes one lap of a circular field along its circumference at the speed of 14.4 km/h in 1 min 28 s. What is the area of the field?











  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    The man takes 3600 s for 14.4 km
    The man will take 88 s for
    14.4 x (88/3600) = 352/1000 km = 352 m

    Now, circumference of circular field = 352 m
    ⇒ 2πr = 352 m
    2 x (22/7) x r = 352
    ⇒ r = 56 m

    Therefore, area of the field = πr2

    Correct Option: B

    The man takes 3600 s for 14.4 km
    The man will take 88 s for
    14.4 x (88/3600) = 352/1000 km = 352 m

    Now, circumference of circular field = 352 m
    ⇒ 2πr = 352 m
    2 x (22/7) x r = 352
    ⇒ r = 56 m

    Therefore, area of the field = πr2
    = (22/7) x 56 x 56
    = 8 x 22 x 56 m2
    = 9856 sq m.
