    Using Rule 14,
    Let the original radius be r cm.
    According to the question,
    π(r + 1)² – πr² = 22
    ⇒ π(r² + 2r + 1–r²) = 22

    ⇒ (2r + l) ×
    22
    = 22
    7

    ⇒ 2r + l =
    22 × 7
    = 7
    22

    ⇒ 2r = 7 - 1 = 6 ⇒ r =
    6
    = 3 cm.

    Using Rule 14,
    Required ratio = π(4r)² : π(2r)² : π(r)²
    = 16 : 4 : 1

    Correct Option: A

    Using Rule 14,
    Required ratio = π(4r)² : π(2r)² : π(r)²
    = 16 : 4 : 1



  1. The circumference of a circle is 11 cm and the angle of a sector of the circle is 60°. The area of

  1. A 7 m wide road runs outside around a circular park, whose circumference is 176 m. The area of the road is :
    [use π = 22/7 ]

    Using Rule 14,
    If the radius of the circular park be r metre, then 2πr = 176

    = 2 ×
    22
    × r = 176
    7

    ⇒ r =
    176 × 7
    = 28 metre
    2 × 22

    Radius of the park with road = 28 + 7 = 35 metre
    ∴ Area of the road =
    22
    (35² - 28²)

    =
    22
    × 63 × 7 = 1386 m²

  1. The four equal circles of radius 4 cm drawn on the four corners of a square touch each other externally. Then the area of the portion between the square and the four sectors is

    Using Rule 10 and 14,

    Side of the square = 8 cm
    ∴ Area of the square = 8 × 8 = 64 sq.cm.
    Area of the four sectors = π × 4² = 16π sq.cm.
    ∴ Required area = 64 – 16π
    = 16 (4 – π) sq.cm.

    Correct Option: D

    Using Rule 10 and 14,

    Side of the square = 8 cm
    ∴ Area of the square = 8 × 8 = 64 sq.cm.
    Area of the four sectors = π × 4² = 16π sq.cm.
    ∴ Required area = 64 – 16π
    = 16 (4 – π) sq.cm.
