2. A blacksmith Rajesh bent a steel wire, in the form of a square, encloses an area of 121 sq cm. The
same wire he bent in the form of a circle, then the area of the circle is

(A) 22 cm2 (B) 154 cm2

(C) 44 cm2 (D) 77 cm2

SOL : Area of square = 121 cm2

Side of the square  121 cm = 11 cm.

Perimeter of the square = (4  11) cm = 44 cm.

 Length of the wire = 44 cm.

 Circumference of the circle = length of the

wire = 44 cm

Let the radius of the circle = r cm.

their centers is 14 cm, then the radii of the circles are

(A) 14 cm, 3 cm (B) 11 cm, 3 cm

(C) 7 cm, 3 cm (D) 28 cm, 6 cm.

SOL : Let the radii of the circles be r1 cm and r2 cm

respectively.

r12  r22  130

 r12  r22  130 … (i)

and r1  r2  14 … (ii)

Now  r1  r2   r12  r22  2r1r2

Putting the values of  r1  r2  and  r12  r22  from (i) and (ii) in (iii), we get

 130  2r1r2

 196 = 130 + 2r1r2  196 – 130 = 2r1r2

 2r1r2 = 66

66
 r1r2   33 … (iv)

Now (r1 – r2)2 = (r1 + r2)2 –4r1r2 = (14)2 – 4(33) [using (4)]

= 196 – 132 = 64

 r1 – r2 = 64 = 8 … (v)

Solving equations (ii) and (v), we get r1 = 11 cm and r2 = 3 cm.

(B) 37.68 CM²

(C) 18.84 CM²

(D) 19.84 CM²

ANS : C

SOL: Here r = 6 cm, θ = 60°

Area of the sector = θ360

(A) 153.9 CM² (B) 102.6 CM² (C) 51.3 CM² (D) 205.2 CM²

ANS : C

SOL : Angle swept by the minute hand in 1 minute = (360° ÷ 60) = 6°

∴ θ = 30°

∴ Angle swept by the minute hand in 5 minutes = 6° × 5 = 30°

Length of minute hand (r) = 14 cm

∴ Area swept = θ/360πr² = 30/360 × 22/7 × 14 × 14 = 154/3 = 51.3 cm²
