Exercise 12.1
Question 1:
The radii of two circles are 19 cm and 9 cm respectively. Find the radius of the circle
which has circumference equal to the sum of the circumferences of the two circles.
Answer:
Radius (r1) of 1st circle = 19 cm
Radius (r2) or 2nd circle = 9 cm
Let the radius of 3rd circle be r.
Circumference of 1st circle = 2πr1 = 2π (19) = 38π
Circumference of 2nd circle = 2πr2 = 2π (9) = 18π
Circumference of 3rd circle = 2πr
Given that,
Circumference of 3rd circle = Circumference of 1st circle + Circumference of 2nd circle
2πr = 38π + 18π = 56π

Therefore, the radius of the circle which has circumference equal to the sum of the
circumference of the given two circles is 28 cm.
Question 2:
The radii of two circles are 8 cm and 6 cm respectively. Find the radius of the circle
having area equal to the sum of the areas of the two circles.
Answer:
Radius (r1) of 1st circle = 8 cm
Radius (r2) of 2nd circle = 6 cm
Let the radius of 3rd circle be r.

Class X Chapter 12 – Areas Related to Circles Maths

Answer:

Radius (r1) of gold region (i.e., 1st circle)

Given that each circle is 10.5 cm wider than the previous circle.
Therefore, radius (r2) of 2nd circle = 10.5 + 10.5
21 cm
Radius (r3) of 3rd circle = 21 + 10.5
= 31.5 cm
Radius (r4) of 4th circle = 31.5 + 10.5
= 42 cm
Radius (r5) of 5th circle = 42 + 10.5
= 52.5 cm

Area of gold region = Area of 1st circle

Area of red region = Area of 2nd circle − Area of 1st circle

Area of blue region = Area of 3rd circle − Area of 2nd circle

Area of black region = Area of 4th circle − Area of 3rd circle

Area of white region = Area of 5th circle − Area of 4th circle

Therefore, areas of gold, red, blue, black, and white regions are 346.5 cm2, 1039.5

Question 4:
The wheels of a car are of diameter 80 cm each. How many complete revolutions
does each wheel make in 10 minutes when the car is traveling at a speed of 66 km

per hour?
Answer:
Diameter of the wheel of the car = 80 cm
Radius (r) of the wheel of the car = 40 cm
Circumference of wheel = 2πr
= 2π (40) = 80π cm
Speed of car = 66 km/hour

Distance travelled by the car in 10 minutes

= 110000 × 10 = 1100000 cm
Let the number of revolutions of the wheel of the car be n.
n × Distance travelled in 1 revolution (i.e., circumference)
= Distance travelled in 10 minutes

Therefore, each wheel of the car will make 4375 revolutions.

Question 5:
Tick the correct answer in the following and justify your choice: If the perimeter and
the area of a circle are numerically equal, then the radius of the circle is
(A) 2 units (B) π units (C) 4 units (D)7 units
Answer:
Let the radius of the circle be r.
Circumference of circle = 2πr
Area of circle = πr2
Given that, the circumference of the circle and the area of the circle are equal.
This implies 2πr = πr2
2=r
Therefore, the radius of the circle is 2 units.
Hence, the correct answer is A.
