Let the radius of circular field = r m.
Speed of person in m/s = 30/60 = 1/2m/s
According to the question,
[(2πr) /(1/2)] - [(2r)/(1/2)] = 30Correct Option: B
Let the radius of circular field = r m.
Speed of person in m/s = 30/60 = 1/2m/s
According to the question,
[(2πr) /(1/2)] - [(2r)/(1/2)] = 30
⇒ 4πr - 4r = 30
⇒ [4 x (22/7) - 4]r =30
⇒ (125 - 4)r = 30
⇒ (8.5)r = 30
⇒ r = 30/8.5 = 3.5 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?

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: 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.

Let the length of rectangle = L m
∴ Breadth of rectangle = B m
Using conditions from the question,
L - B = 23 ....(i)
2(L + B) = 206
L + B = 103 ....(ii)
Then , area of rectangle = L x BCorrect Option: A
Let the length of rectangle = L m
∴ Breadth of rectangle = B m
Using conditions from the question,
L - B = 23 ....(i)
2(L + B) = 206
L + B = 103 ....(ii)
On adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
2L = 126
⇒ L = 63 m
⇒ B = 103 - 63 = 40 m
Then , area of rectangle = L x B
= 63 x 40
= 2520 m2 .
- 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 = 22Correct 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
- 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: 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%
