    Number of revolutions =
    12 × 42
    = 28
    18

    Correct Option: A

    Number of revolutions =

  1. If the perimeter of circle A is equal to perimeter of semi circle B, what is the ratio of their areas ?

    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

    ∴ Ratio of their areas =
    πr1²
    =
    (π + 2)²
    = (π + 2)² : 4πr²
    πr2²(2π)²

    Correct Option: C

    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

    ∴ Ratio of their areas =
    πr1²
    =
    (π + 2)²
    = (π + 2)² : 4πr²
    πr2²(2π)²



  1. 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) = 66

    r2 - r1 =
    66
    =
    66 × 7
    2 × 22

    = 10.5 metres

    Correct Option: A
