5. It is proposed to build a single circular park equal in area to the sum of areas of two circular
parks of diameters 16 m and 12 m in a locality. The radius of the new park would be

(A) 10 m

(B) 15 m

(C) 20 m

(D) 24 m

Answer: (A)

Explanation: Area of first circular park, whose diameter is 16m

= πr2 = π (16/2)2 = 64π m2

Area of second circular park, whose diameter is 12m

= πr2 = π (12/2)2 = 36π m2

According to question,

Area of new circular park =

πR2 = (64π + 36π) m2

πR2 = 100π m2

R = 10m

6. The area of the circle that can be inscribed in a square of side 6 cm is

(A) 36 π cm2
(B) 18 π cm2

(C) 12 π cm2

(D) 9 π cm2

Answer: (D)

Explanation: Given,

Side of square = 6 cm

Diameter of a circle = side of square = 6cm

Therefore, Radius of circle = 3cm

Area of circle

= πr2

= π (3)2

= 9π cm2

7. The area of the square that can be inscribed in a circle of radius 8 cm is

(A) 256 cm2

(B) 128 cm2

(C) 642 cm2

(D) 64 cm2

Answer: (B)

Explanation: Radius of circle = 8 cm

Diameter of circle = 16 cm = diagonal of the square

Therefore side of square = diagonal/√2

= 16/√2

Therefore, are of square is = (side)2 = (16/√2)2

= 256/2

= 128 cm2

8. The radius of a circle whose circumference is equal to the sum of the circumferences of the two
circles of diameters 36 cm and 20 cm is
(A) 56 cm

(B) 42 cm

(C) 28 cm

(D) 16 cm

Answer: (C)

Explanation: According to question,

Circumference of circle = Circumference of first circle + Circumference of second circle

πD = πd1 + πd2

D = 36 + 20

D = 56cm

So, Radius = 56/2 = 28cm

9. The diameter of a circle whose area is equal to the sum of the areas of the two circles of radii 24
cm and 7 cm respectively, is

(A) 31 cm

(B) 25 cm

(C) 62 cm

(D) 50 cm

Answer: (D)

Explanation: According to question

Therefore diameter = 2 × 25 = 50cm

10. If the length of an arc of a circle of radius r is equal to that of an arc of a circle of radius 2r,
then
(A) the angle of the corresponding sector of the first circle is double the angle of the corresponding
sector of the other circle.

(B) the angle of the corresponding sector of the first circle is equal the angle of the corresponding
sector of the other circle.

(C) the angle of the corresponding sector of the first circle is half the angle of the corresponding
sector of the other circle.

(D) the angle of the corresponding sector of the first circle is 4 times the angle of the corresponding
sector of the other circle.

Answer: (A)

(D) 500

Answer: (D)

Explanation:
12. A cow is tied with a rope of length 14 m at the corner of a rectangular field of dimensions 20m
× 16m, then the area of the field in which the cow can graze is:

(A) 154 m2

(B) 156 m2

(C) 158 m2

(D) 160 m2

Answer: (A)

Explanation:Figure according to question is:

Area of the field in which cow can graze= Area of a sector AFEG

= (θ/360) X πr2

= (90/360) X π (14)2

= (1/4) X (22/7) X 196

= 154 m2

15. A round table cover has six equal designs as shown in the figure. If the radius of thecover is 28
cm, then the cost of making the design at the rate of Rs. 0.35 per cm2 is:

(A) Rs.146.50

(B) Rs.148.75

(C) Rs.152.25

(D) Rs.154.75

Answer: (B)

Explanation: The area of the hexagon will be equal to six equilateral triangles with each side equal
to the radius of circle.

Area of given hexagon = Area of 6 equilateral triangles.

= 6 X (√3/4) X (side)2
= 6 X (√3/4) X (28)2

= 1999.2 cm2 (Taking √3 = 1.7)

Area of circle = πr2

= π × 282

= 2464 cm2

So, area of designed portion = 2464 – 1999.2 = 464.8 cm2

Cost of making design = 464.8 × 0.35

= Rs. 162.68
