Answer
Correct option: C.
9 : 16
Let the the radii of the two circles be r and R, the circumferences of the circles be c and C and the areas of the two circles be a and A.
Now,
$\frac{\text{c}}{\text{C}}=\frac{3}{4}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{2\pi\text{r}}{2\pi\text{R}}=\frac{3}{4}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{r}}{\text{R}}=\frac{3}{4}$
Now, the ratio between their areas is given by
$\frac{\text{a}}{\text{A}}=\frac{\pi\text{r}^2}{\pi\text{R}^2}$
$=\Big(\frac{\text{r}}{\text{R}}\Big)^2$

    $118.24\ cm^2$
  • D
    $130.57\ cm^2$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$120.56\ cm^2$

Radius of the circle, $r = 14\ cm$
Draw a perpendicular $OD$ to chord $AB.$ It will bisect $AB.$
$\angle\text{A}=180^\circ-(90^\circ+60^\circ)=30^\circ$
$\cos30^\circ=\frac{\text{AD}}{\text{OA}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{\text{AD}}{14}$
$\Rightarrow\text{AD}=7\sqrt{3}$
$\Rightarrow\text{AB}=2\times\text{AD}=14\sqrt{3}\text{cm}$
$\sin30^\circ=\frac{\text{OD}}{14}$
$\Rightarrow\text{OD}=7\text{cm}$
Area of minor segment $=$ Area of sector $\text{OAPB} -$ Area of tringle $\text{AOB}$
$=\frac{\theta}{360^\circ}\pi(\text{OA})^2-\frac{1}{2}\times\text{OD}\times\text{AB}$
$=\frac{120^\circ}{360^\circ}\times\frac{22}{7}(14)^2-\frac{1}{2}\times7\times14\sqrt{3}$

Let the side of the square be a and the radius of the circle be r.
Now, Perimeter of circle = Circumference of the circle
$\Rightarrow4\text{a}=2\pi\text{r}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{a}}{\text{r}}=\frac{\pi}{2}$
Now,
$\frac{\text{Area of square}}{\text{Area of circle}}=\frac{\text{a}^2}{\pi\text{r}^2}$
$=\frac{1}{\pi}\times\Big(\frac{\text{a}}{\text{r}}\Big)^2$
$=\frac{1}{\pi}\times\frac{\pi^2}{4}$
$=\frac{\pi}{4}$
$=\pi:4$
Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

A chord of a circle of radius $10\ cm$ subtends a right angle at the centre. The area of the minor segments $(\text{given, }\pi=3.14)$ is:
  • A
    $32.5\ cm^2$
  • B
    $34.5\ cm^2$
  • $28.5\ cm^2$
  • D
    $30.5\ cm^2$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$28.5\ cm^2$

Area of minor segment $=$ Area of sector $\text{AOBC} -$ Area of right triangle $\text{AOB}$
$=\frac{90^\circ}{360^\circ}.\pi(\text{OA})^2-\frac{1}{2}\times\text{OA}\times\text{OB}$
$=\frac{1}{4}\times3.14\times(10)^2-\frac{1}{2}\times10\times10$
$=78.5-50$
$=28.5\text{cm}^2$
Hence, the correct answer is option $(c).$

MCQ 281 Mark
In the given figure, a square $\text{OABC}$ has been inscribed in the quadrant $\text{OPBQ.}$ If $OA = 20\ cm,$ then the area of the shaded region is: $\big[\text{Take }\pi=3.14\big]$
  • A
    $214\ cm^2$
  • $228\ cm^2$
  • C
    $242\ cm^2$
  • D
    $248\ cm^2$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$228\ cm^2$

Join $OB.$
Now, $OB$ is the radius of the circle.
We have:
$OB^2 = OA^2 + AB^2 [$By] pythagoras' theorem$]$
$\Rightarrow\text{OB}^2=\big\{(20)^2+(20)^2\big\}\text{cm}^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{OB}^2=(400+400)\text{cm}^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{OB}^2=800\text{cm}^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{OB}=20\sqrt{2}\text{cm}$
Hence, the radius of the circle is $20\sqrt{2}\text{cm}.$
Now,
Area of the shaded region $=$ Area of the quadrant $-$ Area of the square $\text{OABC}$
$=\Big|\Big(\frac{1}{4}\times3.14\times20\sqrt{2}\times20\sqrt{2}\Big)-(20\times20)\Big|\text{cm}^2$
$=\Big|\Big(\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{314}{100}\times800\Big)-400\Big|\text{cm}^2$
$=(628-400)\text{cm}^2$
$=228\text{cm}^2$

The areas of two circles are in the ratio 9 : 4. The ratio of their circumferences is:
  • 3 : 2
  • B
    4 : 9
  • C
    2 : 3
  • D
    81 : 16
Answer
Correct option: A.
3 : 2
Let the the radii of the two circles be r and R, the circumferences of the circles be c and C and the areas of the two circles be a and A.
Now,
$\frac{\text{a}}{\text{A}}=\frac{9}{4}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\pi\text{r}^2}{\pi\text{R}^2}=\Big(\frac{3}{2}\Big)^2$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{r}}{\text{R}}=\frac{3}{2}$
Now, the ratio between their circumferences is given by
$\frac{\text{c}}{\text{C}}=\frac{2\pi\text{r}}{2\pi\text{R}}$
$=\frac{\text{r}}{\text{R}}$
$=\frac{3}{2}$
Hence, the correct answer is option (a)

The areas of two concentric circles are $1386\ cm^2$ and $962.5\ cm^2$. The width of the ring is:
  • A
    $2.8\ cm$
  • $3.5\ cm$
  • C
    $4.2\ cm$
  • D
    $3.8\ cm$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$3.5\ cm$
Let $r \ cm$ and $R \ cm$ be the radii of two concentric circles.
Thus. we have:
$\pi\text{r}^2=1386$
$\Rightarrow\frac{22}{7}\times\text{R}^2=1386$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}^2=\Big(1386\times\frac{7}{22}\Big)\text{cm}^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}^2=441\text{cm}^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}=21\text{cm}$
Also,
$\pi\text{r}^2=962.2$
$\Rightarrow\frac{22}{7}\times\text{r}^2=962.2$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}^2=\Big(962.2\times\frac{7}{22}\Big)\text{cm}^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}^2=\Big(\frac{962.2}{10}\times\frac{7}{22}\Big)\text{cm}^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}^2=\frac{1225}{4}\text{cm}^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}=\frac{35}{2}\text{cm}$
$\therefore$ Width of the ring $=(\text{R}-\text{r})$
$=\Big(21-\frac{35}{2}\Big)\text{cm}$
$=\frac{7}{2}\text{cm}$
$=3.5\text{cm}$
