Two concentric circles with radii p cm and (p + 2) cm are drawn on a paper. The difference between their areas is 44 sq.cm What is the value of p?(Take π  = 22/7)1. 1.52. 53. 64. 2.5

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 2.5

Given:

Radius of First circle = p cm

Radius of Second circle = (p + 2) cm

Difference between areas of both the circles = 44 cm2

Formula Used:

Area of circle = π(Radius)2

(a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab

Calculation:

Area of First circle = π(p cm)2

⇒ πp2 cm2

Area of Second circle = π{(p + 2) cm}2

⇒ π(p2 + 4p + 4) cm2

Difference between area of both the circles = π(p2 + 4p + 4) – πp2 

⇒ π(p2 + 4p + 4 – p2) = 44

⇒ 4π(p + 1) = 44

⇒ 4 × (22/7)(p + 1) = 44

⇒ p + 1 = (44 × 7)/88

⇒ p + 1 = 7/2

⇒ p = 7/2 – 1

⇒ p = 5/2

⇒ p = 2.5

∴ The value of p is 2.5
