                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Ratio of the areas of the circumcircle and incircle of a square 
 = [(Diagonal)2π] / [(Side)2π]Correct Option: ARatio 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
-  The radius of a circle is so increased that its circumference increased by 5%. The area of the circle, then increases by
- 
                        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: BIncrease 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%
-  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.
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Let original radius be r. 
 Then, according to the questions,
 π (r + 1)2 - πr2 = 22Correct Option: CLet 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
-  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.
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Length of to the rope = Radius of circle 
 According to the question,
 πr2 = 154Correct Option: ALength 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
-  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?
- 
                        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 = πr2Correct Option: BThe 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.
