                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Let radius of circle A be r1 units. 
 Radius of semi-circle = r2 units.
 According to the question, 2πr1 = πr2 + 2r2
 ⇒ 2πr1 = r2 (π + 2)⇒ r1/center> = π + 2 r2 2π ∴ Ratio of their areas = πr1² = (π + 2)² = (π + 2)² : 4πr² πr2² (2π)² Correct Option: CLet radius of circle A be r1 units. 
 Radius of semi-circle = r2 units.
 According to the question, 2πr1 = πr2 + 2r2
 ⇒ 2πr1 = r2 (π + 2)⇒ r1/center> = π + 2 r2 2π ∴ Ratio of their areas = πr1² = (π + 2)² = (π + 2)² : 4πr² πr2² (2π)² 
-  A circular road runs around a circular ground. If the difference between the circumference of the outer circle and the inner circle is 66 metres, the width of the road is:(Take π = 22/7)

 Breadth of road = r2 – r1
 ∴ 2πr2 - 2πr1 = 66
 → 2π(r2 - r1) = 66r2 - r1 = 66 = 66 × 7 2π 2 × 22 
 = 10.5 metresCorrect Option: A 
 Breadth of road = r2 – r1
 ∴ 2πr2 - 2πr1 = 66
 → 2π(r2 - r1) = 66r2 - r1 = 66 = 66 × 7 2π 2 × 22 
 = 10.5 metres
-  A person observed that he required 30 seconds less time to cross a circular ground along its diameter than to cover it once along the boundary. If his speed was 30 m/minute, then the radius of the circular ground is (Take π = 22/7) :
