MCQ
If the difference between the circumference and radius of a circle is 37cm, then using $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$ the circumference (in cm) of the circle is:
  • A
    154
  • 44
  • C
    14
  • D
    7

Answer

Correct option: B.
44
We know that circumference; C of the circle with radius r is equal to $2\pi\text{r}$
We have given difference between circumference and radius of the citcle that is 37cm,
$\therefore\text{C}-\text{r}=2\pi\text{r}-\text{r}$
$\therefore(2\pi-1)\text{r}=37$
Substituting we $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$ get,
$\therefore\Big(2\times\frac{22}{7}-1\Big)\text{r}=37$
$\therefore\Big(\frac{44-7}{7}\Big)\text{r}=37$
$\therefore\Big(\frac{37}{7}\Big)\text{r}=37$
Dividing both sides of the equation by $\frac{7}{37},$ we get, $\therefore\text{r}=7$
Threfore, circumference of the circle will be
$2\pi\text{r}=2\times\frac{22}{7}\times7$
$=44\text{cm}^2$
Hence, the correct choice is (b).
