$A$ calf is tied with a rope of length $6 \,m$ at the corner of a square grassy lawn of side $20 \,m$. If the length of the rope is increased by $5.5 \,m$,find the increase in area of the grassy lawn in which the calf can graze. (in $m^2$)
A
$75$
B
$85.725$
C
$75.625$
D
$80.500$

Solution

(C) Let the calf be tied at the corner $A$ of the square lawn.
The increase in area is the difference between the areas of two sectors with a central angle of $90^{\circ}$ each and radii $R = 11.5 \,m$ $(6 \,m + 5.5 \,m)$ and $r = 6 \,m$.
Required increase in area $= \text{Area of sector with radius } R - \text{Area of sector with radius } r$
$= \frac{90^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times \pi \times R^2 - \frac{90^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times \pi \times r^2$
$= \frac{1}{4} \times \pi \times (R^2 - r^2)$
$= \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{22}{7} \times (11.5^2 - 6^2)$
$= \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{22}{7} \times (11.5 + 6) \times (11.5 - 6)$
$= \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 17.5 \times 5.5$
$= \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{35}{2} \times \frac{11}{2}$
$= \frac{11 \times 5 \times 11}{8} = \frac{605}{8} = 75.625 \,m^2$.

The area of a circular playground is $22176 \, m^{2}$. Find the cost of fencing this ground at the rate of $Rs. \, 50$ per $metre$. (in $Rs.$)
A
$26000$
B
$28400$
C
$29400$
D
$26400$

Solution

(D) Given,area of a circular playground $= 22176 \, m^{2}$.
Using the formula for the area of a circle,$\pi r^{2} = 22176$.
Substituting $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$,we get $\frac{22}{7} r^{2} = 22176$.
$r^{2} = \frac{22176 \times 7}{22} = 1008 \times 7 = 7056$.
$r = \sqrt{7056} = 84 \, m$.
The circumference of the circular ground is $2 \pi r = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 84 = 44 \times 12 = 528 \, m$.
The cost of fencing is calculated as $\text{Circumference} \times \text{Rate}$.
Cost $= 528 \times 50 = 26400 \, Rs.$

The diameters of front and rear wheels of a tractor are $80 \,cm$ and $2 \,m$ respectively. Find the number of revolutions that the rear wheel will make in covering a distance in which the front wheel makes $1400$ revolutions.
A
$560$
B
$540$
C
$500$
D
$520$

Solution

(A) Given,diameter of the front wheel,$d_{1} = 80 \,cm$.
Diameter of the rear wheel,$d_{2} = 2 \,m = 200 \,cm$.
Circumference of the front wheel $C_{1} = \pi d_{1} = 80\pi \,cm$.
Circumference of the rear wheel $C_{2} = \pi d_{2} = 200\pi \,cm$.
Total distance covered by the front wheel in $1400$ revolutions is $D = 1400 \times C_{1} = 1400 \times 80\pi \,cm$.
Let the number of revolutions made by the rear wheel be $n$.
Then,$n \times C_{2} = D$.
$n \times 200\pi = 1400 \times 80\pi$.
$n = \frac{1400 \times 80\pi}{200\pi} = 7 \times 80 = 560$.
Thus,the rear wheel makes $560$ revolutions.

Sides of a triangular field are $15 \, m$,$16 \, m$,and $17 \, m$. At the three corners of the field,a cow,a buffalo,and a horse are tied separately with ropes of length $7 \, m$ each to graze in the field. Find the area of the field which cannot be grazed by the three animals.

Solution

(A) Given,a triangular field with sides $a = 15 \, m$,$b = 16 \, m$,and $c = 17 \, m$.
Each animal is tied at a corner with a rope of length $r = 7 \, m$. Each animal grazes a sector of the field at its respective corner.
The sum of the areas of the three sectors is given by:
Sum of areas $= \frac{\angle A}{360^{\circ}} \pi r^2 + \frac{\angle B}{360^{\circ}} \pi r^2 + \frac{\angle C}{360^{\circ}} \pi r^2 = \frac{(\angle A + \angle B + \angle C)}{360^{\circ}} \pi r^2$
Since the sum of angles in a triangle is $180^{\circ}$,the sum of areas $= \frac{180^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times \pi \times (7)^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 49 = 77 \, m^2$.
Now,calculate the area of the triangular field using Heron's formula:
Semi-perimeter $s = \frac{15 + 16 + 17}{2} = \frac{48}{2} = 24 \, m$.
Area $= \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)} = \sqrt{24(24-15)(24-16)(24-17)} = \sqrt{24 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7} = \sqrt{12096} = 24\sqrt{21} \, m^2$.
The area which cannot be grazed is the difference between the total area and the grazed area:
Area not grazed $= (24\sqrt{21} - 77) \, m^2$.

Find the area of the segment of a circle of radius $12 \, cm$ whose corresponding sector has a central angle of $60^{\circ}$ (Use $\pi = 3.14$).

Solution

(N/A) Given that,radius of a circle $(r) = 12 \, cm$ and central angle of sector $(\theta) = 60^{\circ}$.
Area of sector $= \frac{\pi r^2 \theta}{360^{\circ}} = \frac{3.14 \times 12 \times 12 \times 60^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} = 3.14 \times 2 \times 12 = 75.36 \, cm^2$.
Since the triangle formed by the two radii and the chord is an isosceles triangle with a vertex angle of $60^{\circ}$,it is an equilateral triangle.
Area of equilateral triangle $= \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times (\text{side})^2 = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times 12^2 = 36\sqrt{3} \, cm^2$.
Area of the segment $=$ Area of sector $-$ Area of triangle $= (75.36 - 36\sqrt{3}) \, cm^2$.

$A$ circular pond has a diameter of $17.5 \, m$. It is surrounded by a $2 \, m$ wide path. Find the cost of constructing the path at the rate of $Rs. \, 25$ per $m^2$ (in $Rs.$).
A
$3051.50$
B
$3025.75$
C
$1022.46$
D
$3061.50$

Solution

(D) Given that,a circular pond is surrounded by a path of width $2 \, m$.
Diameter of the circular pond $= 17.5 \, m$.
Radius of the circular pond $(r_i) = \frac{17.5}{2} = 8.75 \, m$.
Width of the path $= 2 \, m$.
Radius of the outer circle including the path $(r_e) = 8.75 + 2 = 10.75 \, m$.
Area of the circular path $= \pi r_e^2 - \pi r_i^2 = \pi(r_e^2 - r_i^2) = \pi(r_e + r_i)(r_e - r_i)$.
Area $= \frac{22}{7} \times (10.75 + 8.75) \times (10.75 - 8.75) = \frac{22}{7} \times 19.5 \times 2$.
Area $= \frac{22 \times 39}{7} \approx 122.57 \, m^2$.
Using $\pi \approx 3.14$,Area $= 3.14 \times 19.5 \times 2 = 122.46 \, m^2$.
Cost of constructing the path $= \text{Area} \times \text{Rate} = 122.46 \times 25 = Rs. \, 3061.50$.

In the figure,$ABCD$ is a trapezium with $AB \parallel DC$,$AB = 18 \, cm$,$DC = 32 \, cm$,and the distance between $AB$ and $DC = 14 \, cm$. If arcs of equal radii $7 \, cm$ with centers $A, B, C$,and $D$ have been drawn,find the area of the shaded region of the figure (in $cm^2$).
Question diagram
A
$196$
B
$350$
C
$144$
D
$186$

Solution

(A) Given: $AB = 18 \, cm$,$DC = 32 \, cm$,height $(h) = 14 \, cm$,and radius of each arc $(r) = 7 \, cm$.
Since $AB \parallel DC$,the sum of consecutive interior angles is $180^{\circ}$. Thus,$\angle A + \angle D = 180^{\circ}$ and $\angle B + \angle C = 180^{\circ}$.
Area of a sector with angle $\theta$ is given by $\frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}} \times \pi r^2$.
Area of sectors at $A$ and $D = \frac{\angle A + \angle D}{360^{\circ}} \times \pi r^2 = \frac{180^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times \frac{22}{7} \times (7)^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 22 \times 7 = 77 \, cm^2$.
Similarly,the area of sectors at $B$ and $C = \frac{\angle B + \angle C}{360^{\circ}} \times \pi r^2 = \frac{180^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times \frac{22}{7} \times (7)^2 = 77 \, cm^2$.
Area of trapezium $ABCD = \frac{1}{2} \times (AB + DC) \times h = \frac{1}{2} \times (18 + 32) \times 14 = \frac{1}{2} \times 50 \times 14 = 350 \, cm^2$.
Area of the shaded region = Area of trapezium $-$ (Sum of areas of the four sectors) = $350 - (77 + 77) = 350 - 154 = 196 \, cm^2$.

Three circles each of radius $3.5\, cm$ are drawn in such a way that each of them touches the other two. Find the area enclosed between these circles. (in $cm^{2}$)
A
$1.220$
B
$1.967$
C
$3.359$
D
$2.176$

Solution

(B) Given that,three circles are drawn such that each of them touches the other two.
Let the centers of the three circles be $A, B,$ and $C$. Since each circle has a radius $r = 3.5\, cm$,the distance between the centers of any two touching circles is $2r = 2 \times 3.5 = 7\, cm$.
Thus,$AB = BC = CA = 7\, cm$. This forms an equilateral triangle $\triangle ABC$ with side length $a = 7\, cm$.
The area of the equilateral triangle $\triangle ABC$ is given by:
$\text{Area} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times a^{2} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times (7)^{2} = \frac{49\sqrt{3}}{4} \approx \frac{49 \times 1.732}{4} \approx 21.2176\, cm^{2}$.
The area enclosed between the three circles is the area of the triangle minus the area of the three sectors inside the triangle. Each angle of the equilateral triangle is $60^{\circ}$.
Total area of the three sectors $= 3 \times \left( \frac{60^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times \pi r^{2} \right) = 3 \times \frac{1}{6} \times \pi \times (3.5)^{2} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 3.5 \times 3.5 = 11 \times 0.5 \times 3.5 = 19.25\, cm^{2}$.
Therefore,the area enclosed between the circles $= \text{Area of } \triangle ABC - \text{Total area of the three sectors}$
$= 21.2176 - 19.25 = 1.9676\, cm^{2}$.
Rounding to three decimal places,the required area is $1.967\, cm^{2}$.

Find the area of the sector of a circle of radius $5\, cm$,if the corresponding arc length is $3.5\, cm$. (in $cm^2$)
A
$6$
B
$7.25$
C
$8.75$
D
$9.50$

Solution

(C) The area of a sector of a circle can be calculated using the formula:
Area $= \frac{1}{2} \times l \times r$
where $l$ is the arc length and $r$ is the radius of the circle.
Given:
Radius $(r) = 5\, cm$
Arc length $(l) = 3.5\, cm$
Substituting the values into the formula:
Area $= \frac{1}{2} \times 3.5 \times 5$
Area $= \frac{17.5}{2} = 8.75\, cm^2$
Hence,the required area of the sector is $8.75\, cm^2$.

Four circular cardboard pieces of radii $7 \, cm$ are placed on a paper in such a way that each piece touches the other two pieces. Find the area of the portion enclosed between these pieces (in $cm^2$).
A
$196$
B
$38.5$
C
$44$
D
$42$

Solution

(D) Given that four circular cardboard pieces are placed on a paper such that each piece touches the other two pieces.
Let the centers of the four circles be $A, B, C,$ and $D$. Since the radius of each circle is $7 \, cm$, the distance between the centers of any two touching circles is $7 + 7 = 14 \, cm$.
Thus, $AB = BC = CD = DA = 14 \, cm$. This forms a square $ABCD$ with side length $14 \, cm$.
The area of the square $ABCD = (side)^2 = (14)^2 = 196 \, cm^2$.
Inside the square, there are four sectors, each with a central angle of $90^{\circ}$ and radius $r = 7 \, cm$.
The area of one sector $= \frac{90^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times \pi r^2 = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{22}{7} \times (7)^2 = \frac{1}{4} \times 22 \times 7 = 38.5 \, cm^2$.
The total area of the four sectors $= 4 \times 38.5 = 154 \, cm^2$.
The area of the portion enclosed between these pieces = (Area of square $ABCD$) - (Total area of four sectors)
$= 196 - 154 = 42 \, cm^2$.
Therefore, the required area is $42 \, cm^2$.

On a square cardboard sheet of area $784 \, cm^{2}$, four congruent circular plates of maximum size are placed such that each circular plate touches the other two plates and each side of the square sheet is tangent to two circular plates. Find the area of the square sheet not covered by the circular plates (in $cm^{2}$).
A
$168$
B
$174$
C
$172$
D
$616$

Solution

(A) Given, area of square sheet $= 784 \, cm^{2}$.
Since, area of square $= (\text{side})^{2}$, we have $(\text{side})^{2} = 784$.
Therefore, side $= \sqrt{784} = 28 \, cm$.
Since four congruent circular plates are placed such that each touches the other two and the sides of the square, the diameter of each circular plate is half the side of the square.
Diameter of each circular plate $= 28 / 2 = 14 \, cm$.
Radius of each circular plate $(r) = 14 / 2 = 7 \, cm$.
Area of one circular plate $= \pi r^{2} = \frac{22}{7} \times (7)^{2} = 22 \times 7 = 154 \, cm^{2}$.
Area of four circular plates $= 4 \times 154 = 616 \, cm^{2}$.
Area of the square sheet not covered by the circular plates $= \text{Area of square} - \text{Area of four circular plates}$.
$= 784 - 616 = 168 \, cm^{2}$.

The floor of a room has dimensions $5 \, m \times 4 \, m$ and it is covered with circular tiles of diameter $50 \, cm$ each,as shown in the figure. Find the area of the floor that remains uncovered by the tiles. (Use $\pi = 3.14$) (in $m^2$)
Question diagram
A
$15.7$
B
$4.3$
C
$3.14$
D
$5.26$

Solution

(B) Given,the floor of a room is covered with circular tiles.
Length of the floor $(l) = 5 \, m$.
Breadth of the floor $(b) = 4 \, m$.
Area of the floor $= l \times b = 5 \times 4 = 20 \, m^2$.
Diameter of each circular tile $= 50 \, cm = 0.5 \, m$.
Radius of each circular tile $(r) = \frac{0.5}{2} = 0.25 \, m = \frac{1}{4} \, m$.
Area of one circular tile $= \pi r^2 = 3.14 \times (0.25)^2 = 3.14 \times 0.0625 = 0.19625 \, m^2$.
From the figure,the number of tiles along the length $= \frac{5 \, m}{0.5 \, m} = 10$ tiles.
The number of tiles along the breadth $= \frac{4 \, m}{0.5 \, m} = 8$ tiles.
Total number of tiles $= 10 \times 8 = 80$ tiles.
Total area covered by $80$ tiles $= 80 \times 0.19625 = 15.7 \, m^2$.
Area of the floor that remains uncovered $=$ Total area of floor $-$ Total area of tiles.
Area uncovered $= 20 - 15.7 = 4.3 \, m^2$.

All the vertices of a rhombus lie on a circle. Find the area of the rhombus,if the area of the circle is $1256 \, cm^{2}$. (Use $\pi = 3.14$). (in $cm^{2}$)
A
$600$
B
$400$
C
$800$
D
$1600$

Solution

(C) Let the radius of the circle be $r$.
Given that,Area of the circle $= 1256 \, cm^{2}$.
$\pi r^{2} = 1256$
$r^{2} = \frac{1256}{3.14} = 400$
$r = \sqrt{400} = 20 \, cm$.
Since all the vertices of a rhombus lie on a circle,the rhombus must be a square because its diagonals are diameters of the circle and they bisect each other at $90^{\circ}$.
Thus,the diagonals $d_{1}$ and $d_{2}$ are equal to the diameter of the circle.
$d_{1} = d_{2} = 2 \times r = 2 \times 20 = 40 \, cm$.
Area of the rhombus $= \frac{1}{2} \times d_{1} \times d_{2}$
$= \frac{1}{2} \times 40 \times 40$
$= 20 \times 40 = 800 \, cm^{2}$.
Hence,the required area of the rhombus is $800 \, cm^{2}$.

B

C
$1: 2: 5$
D
$1: 3: 5$

Solution

(D) Let the diameters of the concentric circles be $k, 2k$,and $3k$.
Therefore,the radii of the concentric circles are $\frac{k}{2}, k$,and $\frac{3k}{2}$.
Area of the inner circle,$A_1 = \pi \left(\frac{k}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{\pi k^2}{4}$.
Area of the middle region,$A_2 = \pi(k)^2 - \frac{\pi k^2}{4} = \frac{3\pi k^2}{4}$.
Area of the outer region,$A_3 = \pi \left(\frac{3k}{2}\right)^2 - \pi(k)^2 = \frac{9\pi k^2}{4} - \pi k^2 = \frac{5\pi k^2}{4}$.
The required ratio of the areas is $A_1 : A_2 : A_3 = \frac{\pi k^2}{4} : \frac{3\pi k^2}{4} : \frac{5\pi k^2}{4} = 1 : 3 : 5$.

The length of the minute hand of a clock is $5\, cm$. Find the area swept by the minute hand during the time period $6:05\, a.m.$ and $6:40\, a.m.$ (in $cm^2$).
A
$45 \frac{5}{6}$
B
$55 \frac{5}{6}$
C
$45 \frac{7}{6}$
D
$55 \frac{7}{6}$

Solution

(A) We know that,in $60\, \text{min}$,the minute hand revolves $360^{\circ}$.
In $1\, \text{min}$,the minute hand revolves $\frac{360^{\circ}}{60} = 6^{\circ}$.
Therefore,in the time interval from $6:05\, a.m.$ to $6:40\, a.m.$,the time elapsed is $35\, \text{min}$.
The angle swept by the minute hand in $35\, \text{min}$ is $\theta = 6^{\circ} \times 35 = 210^{\circ}$.
Given that the length of the minute hand $(r) = 5\, \text{cm}$.
The area swept by the minute hand is the area of a sector with radius $r = 5\, \text{cm}$ and angle $\theta = 210^{\circ}$.
Area $= \frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}} \times \pi r^2 = \frac{210^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times \frac{22}{7} \times (5)^2$.
Area $= \frac{7}{12} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 25 = \frac{22 \times 25}{12} = \frac{11 \times 25}{6} = \frac{275}{6}$.
Converting to a mixed fraction,$\frac{275}{6} = 45 \frac{5}{6}\, \text{cm}^2$.
Hence,the required area swept by the minute hand is $45 \frac{5}{6}\, \text{cm}^2$.

A
$75 \frac{1}{3}$
B
$73 \frac{1}{3}$
C
$73 \frac{1}{5}$
D
$75 \frac{1}{5}$

Solution

(B) Let the radius of the circle be $r$ and the central angle be $\theta = 200^{\circ}$.
Area of the sector is given by the formula: $\text{Area} = \frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}} \times \pi r^{2}$.
Substituting the given values: $770 = \frac{200}{360} \times \frac{22}{7} \times r^{2}$.
$770 = \frac{5}{9} \times \frac{22}{7} \times r^{2}$.
$r^{2} = \frac{770 \times 9 \times 7}{5 \times 22} = \frac{770 \times 63}{110} = 7 \times 63 = 441$.
$r = \sqrt{441} = 21 \, cm$.
Now,the length of the arc $l$ is given by: $l = \frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}} \times 2\pi r$.
$l = \frac{200}{360} \times 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 21$.
$l = \frac{5}{9} \times 2 \times 22 \times 3 = \frac{5 \times 2 \times 22}{3} = \frac{220}{3} \, cm$.
$l = 73 \frac{1}{3} \, cm$.

The central angles of two sectors of circles of radii $7 \, cm$ and $21 \, cm$ are respectively $120^{\circ}$ and $40^{\circ}$. Find the areas of the two sectors as well as the lengths of the corresponding arcs. What do you observe?

Solution

(N/A) Let the radii of the two sectors be $r_1 = 7 \, cm$ and $r_2 = 21 \, cm$,and their central angles be $\theta_1 = 120^{\circ}$ and $\theta_2 = 40^{\circ}$.
Area of a sector is given by $A = \frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}} \times \pi r^2$.
For the first sector:
$A_1 = \frac{120^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times \frac{22}{7} \times (7)^2 = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 49 = \frac{22 \times 7}{3} = \frac{154}{3} \approx 51.33 \, cm^2$.
For the second sector:
$A_2 = \frac{40^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times \frac{22}{7} \times (21)^2 = \frac{1}{9} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 441 = \frac{22 \times 63}{9} = 22 \times 7 = 154 \, cm^2$.
Length of an arc is given by $l = \frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}} \times 2\pi r$.
For the first sector:
$l_1 = \frac{120^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7 = \frac{1}{3} \times 44 = \frac{44}{3} \approx 14.67 \, cm$.
For the second sector:
$l_2 = \frac{40^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 21 = \frac{1}{9} \times 2 \times 22 \times 3 = \frac{132}{9} = \frac{44}{3} \approx 14.67 \, cm$.
Observation: The arc lengths of the two sectors are equal,but their areas are not equal.

Find the area of the shaded region given in the figure.
Question diagram

Solution

(N/A) The side of the outer square is $14 \, cm$.
The distance from each side of the square to the inner figure is $3 \, cm$.
The inner figure consists of a central square and four semi-circles attached to its sides.
The side length of the inner square is $14 - (3 + 3) = 8 \, cm$.
Since there are four semi-circles attached to the sides of this $8 \, cm$ square,the diameter of each semi-circle is $8 / 2 = 4 \, cm$,so the radius $r = 2 \, cm$.
Area of the outer square $= 14^2 = 196 \, cm^2$.

Find the number of revolutions made by a circular wheel of area $1.54 \, m^2$ in rolling a distance of $176 \, m$.
A
$40$
B
$80$
C
$120$
D
$160$

Solution

(A) Let the number of revolutions made by the circular wheel be $n$ and the radius be $r$.
Given,area of the circular wheel $= 1.54 \, m^2$.
Using the formula for the area of a circle,$\pi r^2 = 1.54$.
$\frac{22}{7} \times r^2 = 1.54 \Rightarrow r^2 = \frac{1.54 \times 7}{22} = 0.07 \times 7 = 0.49$.
Thus,$r = \sqrt{0.49} = 0.7 \, m$.
The distance covered in one revolution is equal to the circumference of the wheel.
Circumference $= 2 \pi r = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 0.7 = 2 \times 22 \times 0.1 = 4.4 \, m$.
The total distance traveled is $176 \, m$.
Number of revolutions $n = \frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Circumference}} = \frac{176}{4.4} = \frac{1760}{44} = 40$.
Therefore,the wheel makes $40$ revolutions.

Find the difference of the areas of two segments of a circle formed by a chord of length $5 \, cm$ subtending an angle of $90^{\circ}$ at the centre.

Solution

(D) Let the radius of the circle be $r$.
$OA = OB = r \, cm$.
Given that the length of the chord $AB = 5 \, cm$ and the central angle $\theta = 90^{\circ}$.
In $\triangle AOB$,by Pythagoras theorem,$AB^2 = OA^2 + OB^2 \implies 5^2 = r^2 + r^2 \implies 2r^2 = 25 \implies r^2 = 12.5$.
Area of $\triangle AOB = \frac{1}{2} \times OA \times OB \times \sin(90^{\circ}) = \frac{1}{2} \times r^2 \times 1 = \frac{12.5}{2} = 6.25 \, cm^2$.
Area of sector $OAB = \frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}} \times \pi r^2 = \frac{90^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times \pi \times 12.5 = \frac{12.5 \pi}{4} = 3.125 \pi \, cm^2$.
Area of minor segment = Area of sector - Area of $\triangle AOB = (3.125 \pi - 6.25) \, cm^2$.
Area of circle = $\pi r^2 = 12.5 \pi \, cm^2$.
Area of major segment = Area of circle - Area of minor segment = $12.5 \pi - (3.125 \pi - 6.25) = (9.375 \pi + 6.25) \, cm^2$.
Difference of areas = $(9.375 \pi + 6.25) - (3.125 \pi - 6.25) = 6.25 \pi + 12.5 = (6.25 \pi + 12.5) \, cm^2$ or $(\frac{25 \pi}{4} + \frac{25}{2}) \, cm^2$.

C
$462$
D
$924$

Solution

(C) Given that,the radius of the circle $(r) = 21 \, cm$ and the central angle of the minor sector $(\theta) = 120^{\circ}$.
First,calculate the total area of the circle:
Area $= \pi r^2 = \frac{22}{7} \times (21)^2 = \frac{22}{7} \times 21 \times 21 = 22 \times 3 \times 21 = 1386 \, cm^2$.
Next,calculate the area of the minor sector:
Area of minor sector $= \frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}} \times \pi r^2 = \frac{120^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times 1386 = \frac{1}{3} \times 1386 = 462 \, cm^2$.
Then,calculate the area of the major sector:
Area of major sector $= \text{Total area} - \text{Area of minor sector} = 1386 - 462 = 924 \, cm^2$.
Finally,find the difference between the areas of the major sector and the minor sector:
Difference $= 924 - 462 = 462 \, cm^2$.

Solution

(B) The area of a circle is given by the formula $A = \pi r^{2}$.
Given,$A = 5544 \, cm^{2}$.
Substituting the value of $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$:
$5544 = \frac{22}{7} \times r^{2}$
$r^{2} = 5544 \times \frac{7}{22}$
$r^{2} = 252 \times 7$
$r^{2} = 1764$
Taking the square root on both sides:
$r = \sqrt{1764} = 42$
Thus,the radius of the circle is $42 \, cm$.

Solution

(C) Let the radius of the circular ground be $r_{1}$ and the radius of the circular ground including the road be $r_{2}$.
Given,the circumference of the ground $= 2 \pi r_{1} = 220\, m$.
Given,the circumference of the ground with the road $= 2 \pi r_{2} = 264\, m$.
The width of the road is given by $w = r_{2} - r_{1}$.
Subtracting the two circumferences:
$2 \pi r_{2} - 2 \pi r_{1} = 264 - 220$
$2 \pi (r_{2} - r_{1}) = 44$
$2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times w = 44$
$w = \frac{44 \times 7}{2 \times 22}$
$w = \frac{44 \times 7}{44}$
$w = 7\, m$.
Thus,the width of the road is $7\, m$.

C
$56.12$
D

Solution

(D) The distance covered in $1$ rotation is equal to the circumference of the wheel.
Circumference $= 2 \pi r = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 21 = 132 \, cm$.
Distance covered in $1$ minute $= 800 \times 132 \, cm = 105600 \, cm$.
Distance covered in $1$ hour ($60$ minutes) $= 105600 \times 60 \, cm = 6336000 \, cm$.
To convert centimeters to kilometers,we divide by $100$ (to get meters) and then by $1000$ (to get kilometers).
Speed $= \frac{6336000}{100 \times 1000} \, km/h = 63.36 \, km/h$.

Solution

(A) The radius of the outer circle is $r_{1} = 23 \, cm$ and the radius of the inner circle is $r_{2} = 16 \, cm$.
The area of the circular ring is given by the difference between the area of the outer circle and the area of the inner circle.
$\text{Area} = \pi r_{1}^{2} - \pi r_{2}^{2}$
$\text{Area} = \pi (r_{1}^{2} - r_{2}^{2})$
Using the identity $a^{2} - b^{2} = (a + b)(a - b)$:
$\text{Area} = \pi (r_{1} + r_{2})(r_{1} - r_{2})$
Substituting the values with $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$:

$2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r = 352$
$r = \frac{352 \times 7}{2 \times 22}$
$r = \frac{352 \times 7}{44} = 8 \times 7 = 56\, m$.
Now,the area of the circular ground $A = \pi r^2$.
$A = \frac{22}{7} \times 56 \times 56$

$r^{2} = \frac{75.46}{3.14} = 24.0318... \approx 24.01$.
Taking the square root,$r = \sqrt{24.01} = 4.9\, cm$.
The circumference of the circle is given by $C = 2\pi r$.

The width of the road is $w = 3.5 \, m$.
The radius of the outer circle (ground + road) is $R = r + w = 35 + 3.5 = 38.5 \, m$.

In a circle with radius $6 \, cm$,a minor arc subtends an angle of measure $60^{\circ}$ at the centre. Find the area of the minor sector and the major sector corresponding to that arc.

Solution

Given: Radius of the circle $r = 6 \, cm$ and the central angle $\theta = 60^{\circ}$.
Area of the minor sector $= \frac{\pi r^2 \theta}{360^{\circ}}$
$= \frac{22}{7} \times 6 \times 6 \times \frac{60}{360}$
$= \frac{22}{7} \times 36 \times \frac{1}{6}$
$= \frac{22 \times 6}{7} = \frac{132}{7} \, cm^2 \approx 18.86 \, cm^2$.
Area of the major sector $= \text{Area of the circle} - \text{Area of the minor sector}$
$= \pi r^2 - \frac{132}{7}$
$= \frac{22}{7} \times 6 \times 6 - \frac{132}{7}$
$= \frac{792}{7} - \frac{132}{7} = \frac{660}{7} \, cm^2 \approx 94.29 \, cm^2$.

B

C

Solution

(A) The measure of the angle of the minor sector is $\theta = 90^{\circ}$ (since $OA \perp OB$).
Perimeter of a minor sector = Length of the minor arc $+ 2 \times$ (radius).
$75 = \frac{\pi r \theta}{180} + 2r$
$75 = \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{r \times 90}{180} + 2r$
$75 = r \left( \frac{11}{7} + 2 \right)$
$75 = \frac{25}{7} r$
$r = \frac{75 \times 7}{25} = 21 \, cm$.
Area of minor sector $OACB = \frac{\pi r^2 \theta}{360} = \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{21 \times 21 \times 90}{360} = 346.5 \, cm^2$.
In $\Delta OAB$,$m\angle O = 90^{\circ}$,so Area of $\Delta OAB = \frac{1}{2} \times OA \times OB = \frac{1}{2} \times 21 \times 21 = 220.5 \, cm^2$.
Area of minor segment = Area of minor sector $OACB - \text{Area of } \Delta OAB = 346.5 - 220.5 = 126 \, cm^2$.

B

Solution

(A) During $60$ minutes ($1$ hour),the minute hand completes one full rotation,i.e.,it subtends an angle of $360^{\circ}$.
The time duration from $10.10 \, AM$ to $10.30 \, AM$ is $20$ minutes.
Therefore,the angle $\theta$ subtended by the minute hand in $20$ minutes is:
$\theta = \frac{360^{\circ}}{60} \times 20 = 120^{\circ}$.
The radius $r$ of the sector is the length of the minute hand,which is $14 \, cm$.
The area of the sector swept is given by the formula:
$\text{Area} = \frac{\pi r^2 \theta}{360^{\circ}}$
Substituting the values:
$\text{Area} = \frac{22}{7} \times 14 \times 14 \times \frac{120^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}$
$\text{Area} = \frac{22}{7} \times 196 \times \frac{1}{3}$
$\text{Area} = 22 \times 28 \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{616}{3} \, cm^2$
$\text{Area} = 205 \frac{1}{3} \, cm^2$.

The area to be repaired is the area of the sector of the outer circle minus the area of the corresponding sector of the inner circle,with a central angle $\theta = 72^{\circ}$.
Area of the region $= \frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}} \times \pi \times (R^2 - r^2)$
$= \frac{72}{360} \times \frac{22}{7} \times (35^2 - 31.5^2)$
$= \frac{1}{5} \times \frac{22}{7} \times (35 - 31.5)(35 + 31.5)$
$= \frac{22}{35} \times 3.5 \times 66.5$

The length of a square field is $50 \, m$. $A$ cow is tethered at one of the vertices by a $3 \, m$ long rope. Find the area of the region of the field in which the cow can graze. $(\pi = 3.14)$ (in $m^2$)
A
$4.02$
B
$8.21$
C
$6.22$
D
$7.065$

Solution

(D) Suppose the cow is tethered at the vertex $A$ of the square field $ABCD$ by a $3 \, m$ long rope.
Since the angle at each vertex of a square is $90^{\circ}$,the area the cow can graze is a sector of a circle with radius $r = 3 \, m$ and central angle $\theta = 90^{\circ}$.
Area of the sector $= \frac{\pi r^2 \theta}{360^{\circ}}$
$= \frac{3.14 \times (3)^2 \times 90^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}$
$= \frac{3.14 \times 9 \times 1}{4}$
$= \frac{28.26}{4}$
$= 7.065 \, m^2$
Thus,the area of the region in which the cow can graze is $7.065 \, m^2$.

B
$44 \, cm, 924 \, cm^2$
C
$176 \, cm, 3696 \, cm^2$
D
$88 \, cm, 924 \, cm^2$

Solution

(A) Given: Radius $r = 42 \, cm$ and central angle $\theta = 120^{\circ}$.
Length of the arc $l = \frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}} \times 2\pi r = \frac{120^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 42 = \frac{1}{3} \times 2 \times 22 \times 6 = 88 \, cm$.
Area of the sector $A = \frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}} \times \pi r^2 = \frac{120^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 42 \times 42 = \frac{1}{3} \times 22 \times 6 \times 42 = 22 \times 2 \times 42 = 1848 \, cm^2$.

The length of a minor arc in a circle with radius $28 \ cm$ is $22 \ cm$. Find the measure of the angle subtended at the centre by this arc. Also,find the area of the sector formed by this arc.
A
Angle: $45^{\circ}$,Area: $308 \ cm^2$
B
Angle: $30^{\circ}$,Area: $250 \ cm^2$
C
Angle: $60^{\circ}$,Area: $400 \ cm^2$
D
Angle: $90^{\circ}$,Area: $500 \ cm^2$

Solution

(A) Given: Radius $r = 28 \ cm$,Arc length $l = 22 \ cm$.
$1$. To find the angle $\theta$ subtended at the centre:
The formula for arc length is $l = \frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}} \times 2\pi r$.
$22 = \frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}} \times 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 28$.
$22 = \frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}} \times 176$.
$\theta = \frac{22 \times 360^{\circ}}{176} = \frac{360^{\circ}}{8} = 45^{\circ}$.
$2$. To find the area of the sector:
The formula for the area of a sector is $A = \frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}} \times \pi r^2$.
$A = \frac{45^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 28 \times 28$.
$A = \frac{1}{8} \times 22 \times 4 \times 28 = 11 \times 28 = 308 \ cm^2$.

In a circle,the area of a sector formed by two radii perpendicular to each other is $38.5 \, cm^2$. Find the radius of the circle (in $cm$).
A
$23$
B
$19$
C
$13$
D
$7$

Solution

(D) The area of a sector of a circle is given by the formula: $\text{Area} = \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \times \pi r^2$.
Since the two radii are perpendicular to each other,the central angle $\theta = 90^\circ$.
Given,$\text{Area} = 38.5 \, cm^2$ and $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$.
Substituting the values: $38.5 = \frac{90^\circ}{360^\circ} \times \frac{22}{7} \times r^2$.
$38.5 = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{22}{7} \times r^2$.
$38.5 = \frac{11}{14} \times r^2$.
$r^2 = \frac{38.5 \times 14}{11}$.
$r^2 = 3.5 \times 14 = 49$.
$r = \sqrt{49} = 7 \, cm$.

Solution

(A) Given: Radius $r = 14 \,cm$,Angle $\theta = 90^\circ$.
$1$. Length of arc = $\frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \times 2\pi r = \frac{90}{360} \times 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 14 = \frac{1}{4} \times 88 = 22 \,cm$.
$2$. Area of minor sector = $\frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \times \pi r^2 = \frac{90}{360} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 14 \times 14 = \frac{1}{4} \times 22 \times 28 = 154 \,cm^2$.
$3$. Area of minor segment = Area of sector - Area of triangle = $154 - \frac{1}{2} \times r^2 \times \sin(90^\circ) = 154 - \frac{1}{2} \times 14 \times 14 \times 1 = 154 - 98 = 56 \,cm^2$.

In a circle with radius $21 \, cm$,the length of a minor arc is $33 \, cm$. Find the measure of the angle subtended at the centre by this arc. Also,find the area of the minor sector and the area of the minor segment formed by it.

Solution

(N/A) Given: Radius $r = 21 \, cm$,Arc length $l = 33 \, cm$.
$1$. Angle subtended at the centre $(\theta)$: The formula for arc length is $l = \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \times 2\pi r$. Substituting the values: $33 = \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \times 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 21$. Solving for $\theta$: $33 = \theta \times \frac{44}{60} \implies \theta = \frac{33 \times 60}{44} = 45^\circ$.
$2$. Area of the minor sector: $A_{sector} = \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \times \pi r^2 = \frac{45}{360} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 21 \times 21 = \frac{1}{8} \times 22 \times 3 \times 21 = 346.5 \, cm^2$.
$3$. Area of the minor segment: $A_{segment} = A_{sector} - A_{triangle} = 346.5 - \frac{1}{2} r^2 \sin(\theta) = 346.5 - \frac{1}{2} \times 21 \times 21 \times \sin(90^\circ)$. Note: The central angle is $90^\circ$ if calculated as $l = \frac{\theta}{360} \times 2\pi r \implies 33 = \frac{\theta}{360} \times 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 21 \implies 33 = \theta \times \frac{132}{360} \implies \theta = 90^\circ$. Area of triangle $= \frac{1}{2} \times 21 \times 21 = 220.5 \, cm^2$. Area of segment $= 346.5 - 220.5 = 126 \, cm^2$.

D
Minor sector: $4928 \, cm^2$,Major sector: $4928 \, cm^2$,Minor segment: $896 \, cm^2$

Solution

(A) Given radius $r = 56 \, cm$. Since the two radii are perpendicular,the central angle $\theta = 90^\circ$.
Area of the minor sector = $\frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \times \pi r^2 = \frac{90}{360} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 56 \times 56 = \frac{1}{4} \times 22 \times 8 \times 56 = 2464 \, cm^2$.
Area of the major sector = Total area of circle - Area of minor sector = $\pi r^2 - 2464 = \frac{22}{7} \times 56 \times 56 - 2464 = 9856 - 2464 = 7392 \, cm^2$.
Area of the minor segment = Area of minor sector - Area of triangle = $2464 - \frac{1}{2} \times r^2 \times \sin(90^\circ) = 2464 - \frac{1}{2} \times 56 \times 56 \times 1 = 2464 - 1568 = 896 \, cm^2$.

B
Area of minor sector = $924 \ cm^2$,Area of minor segment = $170.50 \ cm^2$
C
Area of minor sector = $850 \ cm^2$,Area of minor segment = $161.07 \ cm^2$
D
Area of minor sector = $900 \ cm^2$,Area of minor segment = $150.00 \ cm^2$

Solution

(A) Given: Radius $r = 42 \ cm$,Central angle $\theta = 60^{\circ}$.
$1$. Area of minor sector = $\frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}} \times \pi r^2 = \frac{60}{360} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 42 \times 42 = \frac{1}{6} \times 22 \times 6 \times 42 = 22 \times 42 = 924 \ cm^2$.
$2$. Area of minor segment = Area of minor sector - Area of $\triangle OAB$.
Area of $\triangle OAB = \frac{1}{2} r^2 \sin(\theta) = \frac{1}{2} \times 42 \times 42 \times \sin(60^{\circ}) = 882 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 441 \times 1.73 = 762.93 \ cm^2$.
Area of minor segment = $924 - 762.93 = 161.07 \ cm^2$.
