MCQ 11 Mark
The ratio of the area and circumference of a circle of diameter $d$ is:
  • A
    $\text{d}$
  • B
    $\frac{\text{d}}{2}$
  • $\frac{\text{d}}{4}$
  • D
    $2\text{d}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{\text{d}}{4}$
Let r and d be respectively the radius and diameter of the circle. Then,
$d = 2r$
Circumference of circle $=2\pi\text{r}=2\pi\times\frac{\text{d}}{2}=\pi\text{d}$
Area of circle $=\pi\text{r}^2=\pi\Big(\frac{\text{d}}{2}\Big)^2=\frac{\pi\text{d}^2}{4}$
Now
$=\frac{\text{Area of circle}}{\text{Circumference of circle}}$
$=\frac{\frac{\pi\text{d}^2}{4}}{\pi\text{d}}=\frac{\text{d}}{4}$
Hence, the correct option is $(c)$

MCQ 31 Mark
A circle is inscribed in a square of side $14m.$ The ratio of the area of the circle and that of the square is:
  • A
    $\pi:3$
  • $\pi:4$
  • C
    $\pi:2$
  • D
    $\pi:1$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\pi:4$
Let $a$ and $r$ be the side of the square and radius of the circle respectively.
Here, the diameter of the circle is equal to the side of the square. So
Diameter of circle $= 2r = a$
Therefore
$=\frac{\text{Area of circle}}{\text{Area of square}}$
$=\frac{\pi\text{r}^2}{\text{a}^2}=\frac{\pi\times\text{r}^2}{(2\text{r})^2}=\frac{\pi}{4}$
Hence, the correct option is $(b).$

MCQ 41 Mark
The circumferences of two circles are in the ratio $3 : 4.$ The ratio of their areas is:
  • A
    $3 : 4$
  • B
    $4 : 3$
  • $9 : 16$
  • D
    $16 : 9$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$9 : 16$

Let $r_1$ and $r_2$ be the radius of the two circles. Then,
$\frac{2\pi\text{r}_1}{2\pi\text{r}_2}=\frac{3}{4}\Rightarrow\frac{\text{r}_1}{\text{r}_2}=\frac{3}{4}$
Now
Ratio of areas $=\frac{\pi\text{r}^2_1}{\pi\text{r}^2_2}=\Big(\frac{\text{r}_1}{\text{r}_2}\Big)^2=\Big(\frac{3}{4}\Big)^2=\frac{9}{16}$
Thus, the required ratio is $9 : 16.$
Hence, the correct option is $(c).$

The areas of two circles are in the ratio $49 : 36.$ The ratio of their circumferences is:
  • $7 : 6$
  • B
    $6 : 7$
  • C
    $3 : 2$
  • D
    $2 : 3$
Answer
Correct option: A.

Let $r_1$ and $r_2$ be the radius of the two circles. Then,
$\frac{\pi\text{r}^2_1}{\pi\text{r}^2_2}=\frac{49}{36}$
$\Rightarrow\Big(\frac{\text{r}_1}{\text{r}_2}\Big)^2=\Big(\frac{7}{6}\Big)^2$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{r}_1}{\text{r}_2}=\frac{7}{6}$
Now
Ratio of circumferences $=\frac{2\pi\text{r}_1}{2\pi\text{r}_2}=\frac{\text{r}_1}{\text{r}_2}=\frac{7}{6}$
Thus, the required ratio is $7 : 6.$
Hence, the correct option is $(a).$

Let $r$ be the radius of the circle and $a$ be the side of the equilateral triangle. Then,
Area of circle = $154\ cm^2$
$\Rightarrow154=\frac{22}{7}\times\text{r}^2\Rightarrow\text{r}=\sqrt{\frac{154\times7}{22}}=7\text{cm}$
Therefore
Area of equilateral triangle $=\frac{\text{a}^2\sqrt{3}}{4}=\frac{7^2\sqrt{3}}{4}=\frac{49\sqrt{3}}{4}  ( \because a = r = 7\ cm)$
Hence, the correct option is $(c).$

The area of a circle is increased by $22\ cm^2$ when its radius is increased by $1\ cm. $ The original radius of the circle is:
  • A
    $6\ cm$
  • $3\ cm$
  • C
    $4\ cm$
  • D
    $3.5\ cm$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$3\ cm$

 Let $r$ be the radius of the circle. Then,
Area of original circle $=\pi\text{l}^2\text{cm}^2$
Radius of circle after increment $= (r + 1)\ cm$
Thus,as per the question
$\pi(\text{r}+1)^2-\pi\text{r}^2=22$
$\Rightarrow(\text{r}+1)^2-\text{r}^2=\frac{22}{\frac{22}{7}}=7$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}^2+2\text{r}+1-\text{r}^2=7$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}=3\text{cm}$
Thus, the original radius of the circle is $3\ cm.$
Hence, the correct option is $(b).$
