Areas Related to Circles - NCERT Questions

Q 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.

SOLUTION:

Soln. : We have, r1 = 19 cm and r2 = 9 cm
∴ Circumference of circle-I = 2πr1 = 2π(19) cm
and circumference of circle-II = 2πr2 = 2π (9) cm
Sum of the circumference of circle-I
and circle-II = 2π(19) + 2π(9) = 2π(19 + 9) cm = 2π(28) cm
Let R be the radius of the circle-III.
∴ Circumference of circle-III = 2πR
According to the condition, 2πR = 2π(28)
sof olympiad trainer
Thus, the radius of the new circle = 28 cm.

Q 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.

SOLUTION:

Soln. : We have,
Radius of circle-I, r1 = 8 cm
Radius of circle-II, r2 = 6 cm
∴ Area of circle-I = πr12 = π(8)2 cm2
Area of circle-II = πr22 = π(6)2 cm2
Let the radius of the circle-III be R
∴ Area of circle-III = πR2
Now, according to the condition,
πr12 + πr22 = πR2
⇒ π(8)2 + π(6)2 = πR2
⇒ π(82 + 62) = πR2
⇒ 82 + 62 = R2
⇒ 64 + 36 = R2
⇒ 100 = R2
⇒ 102 = R2 ⇒ R = 10
Thus, the radius of the new circle = 10 cm.

Q 3.

The given figure depicts an archery target marked with its five scoring regions from the centre outwards as Gold, Red, Blue, Black and White. The diameter of the region representing Gold score is 21 cm and each of the other bands is 10.5 cm wide. Find the area of each of the five scoring regions.
sof olympiad trainer

SOLUTION:

Soln. : Diameter of the innermost region = 21 cm
Radius of the innermost (Gold Scoring) region sof olympiad trainer
∴ Area of Gold region = π(10.5)2 cm2
sof olympiad trainer
sof olympiad trainer
Area of the Red region = π(10.5 + 10.5)2 - π(10.5)2 = π(21)2 - π(10.5)2 = π[(21)2 - (10.5)2]
= sof olympiad trainer [(21 + 10.5) (21 - 10.5)]cm2
sof olympiad trainer
sof olympiad trainer
Since each band is 10.5 cm wide
∴ Radius of Gold and Red region
= (10.5 + 10.5) = 21 cm.
Area of Blue region
= π[(21 + 10.5)2 -(21)2]cm2
sof olympiad trainer [(31.5)2 - (21)2] cm2
= sof olympiad trainer [(31.5 + 21) (31.5 - 21)]cm2
sof olympiad trainer
sof olympiad trainer
Similarly,
Area of Black region
= π[(31.5 + 10.5)2 - (31.5)2] cm2
= sof olympiad trainer [(42)2 - (31.5)2] cm2
=sof olympiad trainer [(42 - 31.5) (42 + 31.5)] cm2
sof olympiad trainer
sof olympiad trainer
Area of White region
= π[(42 + 10.5)2 - (42)2] cm2
= π[(52.5)2 - (42)2] cm2
= π[(52.5 + 42)(52.5 - 42)] cm2
sof olympiad trainer
= 3118.5 cm2

Q 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 travelling at a speed of 66 km per hour?

SOLUTION:

Soln. : Diameter of a wheel = 80 cm
∴ Radius of the wheel = sof olympiad trainer
So, circumference of the wheel
sof olympiad trainer
⇒ Distance covered by a wheel in one revolution
sof olympiad trainer
Distance travelled by the car in 1 hour
= 66 km = 66 × 1000 × 100 cm
∴ Distance travelled in 10 minutes
sof olympiad trainer
Now, number of revolutions

Q 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

SOLUTION:

Soln. : (A) We have
[Numerical area of the circle]
= [Numerical circumference of the circle]
⇒ πr2 = 2πr
⇒ πr2 - 2πr = 0
⇒ r2 - 2r = 0
⇒ r(r - 2) = 0
⇒ r = 0 or r = 2
But r cannot be zero
∴ r = 2 units.
Thus, the radius of circle is 2 units.

sof olympiad trainer
Now area of the minor segment
= (Area of minor sector) - (ar ∠AOB)
= (117.75 97.3125) cm2 = 20.4375 cm2
Area of the major segment
= [Area of the circle] -
[Area of the minor segment]
= πr2 - 20.4375 cm2

Area of segment APB = 410.67 cm2 - 333.2 cm2
= 77.47 cm2
⇒ Area of 1 design = 77.47 cm2
∴ Area of the 6 equal designs
= 6 × (77.47) cm2 = 464.82 cm2
Cost of making the design at the rate of
₹0.35 per cm2
= ₹ 0.35 × 464.82 = ₹ 162.68.

Soln. : Radius of the quadrant = 14 cm
Therefore, area of the quadrant ABPC

= 22 × 7 cm2 = 154 cm2
Area of right ∠ABC sof olympiad trainer
⇒ Area of segment BPC = 154 cm2 - 98 cm2
= 56 cm2
Now, in right ∠ABC,
AC2 + AB2 = BC2
⇒ 142 + 142 = BC2
⇒ 196 + 196 = BC2
⇒ BC2 = 392 sof olympiad trainer
∴ Radius of the semi-circle BQC

∴ Area of the semi-circle BQC

= 11 × 7 × 2 cm2 = 154 cm2
Now, area of the shaded region
= [Area of semi-circle BQC]
- [Area of segment BPC]
= 154 cm2 - 56 cm2 = 98 cm2.

Q 35.

Calculate the area of the designed region in the figure, common between the two quadrants of circles of radius 8 cm each.

SOLUTION:

Soln. : Q Side of the square = 8 cm
∴ Area of the square (ABCD) = 8 × 8 cm2
= 64 cm2
Now, radius of the quadrant ADQB = 8 cm
∴ Area of the quadrant ADQB
