The diameter of the largest circle inscribed inside a square is equal to its side.
∴ d = a = 28cm.Area of the circle = πd² 4 = 1 × 22 × (28)² cm² 4 7
= 22 × 28 cm² = 616 cm²Correct Option: D

When the circumference is doubled, it means radius of circle is doubled, as circumference
= 2πr
Since, area = πr², it will quadrupled.Correct Option: C
When the circumference is doubled, it means radius of circle is doubled, as circumference
= 2πr
Since, area = πr², it will quadrupled.

According to question, Circumference of outer circle
= 2πr = 132 cm⇒ r = 132 × 7 = 21 cm 2 × 22
Circumference of inner circle = 2πr1 = 88cm⇒ r1 = 88 × 7 = 14 cm 2 × 22
∴ Area of outer circle = πr²= 22 × 21 × 21 = 1386 cm² 7
and Area of inner circle = πr1²= 22 × 21 × 21 = 1386 cm² 7
∴ Area of ring = (1386 – 616) cm² = 770cm²Correct Option: B

Using Rule 6 and 17,
Radius of each circle = 3.5 cm From the figure.
∆ ABC will be an equilateral triangle of side 7 cm each.
Now, the required area = Area of DABC – 3× (Area of a sector of angle 60° in a circle of radius 3.5 cm)= √3 × (7)² - 3 60 × 22 × (3.5)² cm² 4 360 7 = 49√3 - 19.25 cm² 4
= [21.217 – 19.25] cm²
= 1.967 cm²Correct Option: B
