The diameter of a circle whose area is equal to the sum of the areas of the two circles of radii 24 cm and 7 cm is A. 31 cm B. 25 cm C. 62 cm D. 50 cm |
|
Answer» D. 50 cm Area of first circle = πr2 = π(24)2 = 576π m2 Area of second circle = πr2 = π(7)2 = 49π m2 Now, we are given that, Area of the circle = Area of first circle + Area of second circle ∴ πR2 = 576π +49π (where, R is the radius of the new circle) ⇒ πR2 = 625π ⇒ R2 = 625 ⇒ R = 25 ∴ Radius of the circle = 25cm Thus, diameter of the circle = 2R = 50 cm. |
|
| 13960. |
Is it true to say that area of a segment of a circle is less than the area of its corresponding sector? Why? |
|
Answer» False Explanation: It is not true because in case of major segment, area is always greater than the area of its corresponding sector. It is true only in the case of minor segment. Thus, we can conclude that it is not true to say that area of a segment of a circle is less than the area of its corresponding sector. |

A 36º sector of a circle has area 3.85 cm2. What is the length of the arc of the sector?(a) 1.1 cm (b) 3.5 cm (c) 5 cm (d) 2.2 cm |
|
Answer» Answer : (d) 2.2 cm Area of a sector = \(\frac{\theta}{360^0}\) × \(\pi r^2\) ⇒ \(\frac{36}{360}\) × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × r2 = 3.85 ⇒ r2 = \(\frac{3.85 \times 10\times 7}{22}\) = 12.25 ⇒ r = 3.5 cm. ∴ Length of arc = \(\frac{\theta}{360^0}\) × \(\pi r^2\) = \(\frac{36}{360}\) × 2 × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 3.5 = 2.2 cm |

A piece of wire is bent in the shape of an equilateral triangle of each side 6.6 cm. It is re-bent to form a circular ring. What is the diameter of the ring? |
|
Answer» Given side of equilateral triangle = 6.6 cm Length of the wire = the perimeter of equilateral triangle Perimeter of equilateral triangle = 3 × side = 3 × 6.6 = 19.8 cm Therefore circumference = 19.8 cm C = 2 π r 19.8 = 2 × (22/7) × r 19.8 = 44/7 r r = (19.8 × 7)/44 r = 138.6/44 = 3.15 cm Diameter = 2r Therefore diameter of ring = 2 × 3.15 = 6.3 cm |
|
| 13968. |
If the circumference of a circle and the perimeter of a square are equal, then(A) Area of the circle = Area of the square(B) Area of the circle > Area of the square(C) Area of the circle < Area of the square(D) Nothing definite can be said about the relation between the areas of the circle & square. |
|
Answer» (B) Area of the circle > Area of the square Explanation: According to the question, Circumference of a circle = Perimeter of square Let r be the radius of the circle and a be the side of square. ∴ From the given condition, we have 2π r = 4a (22/7)r = 2a ⇒ 11r = 7a ⇒ a = (11/7)a ⇒ r = (7/11)a …………..(i) Now, area of circle = A1 = πr2 and area of square = A2 = a2 From equation (i ), we have A1 = π × (7/11)2 = (22/7) × (49/121)a2 = (14/11)a2 and A2 = a2 ∴ A1 = (14/11) A2 ⇒ A1 > A2 Hence, Area of the circle > Area of the square. ∴ Option B is correct. |

Narrowly utilitarian arguments are put forth in support of biodiversity conservation. Explain the other two arguments that are put forth in support of the same cause. |
|
Answer» 1. Broadly utilitarian arguments • Biodiversity plays a major role in maintaining and sustaining supply of goods and services from various species as well as ecological systems. • The different ecological services provided are: a. Amazon forest is estimated to contribute 20 per cent of the total oxygen in the atmosphere on earth. b. Ecosystem provides pollinators like bees, bumble bees, birds and bats which pollinate plants to form fruits and seeds. c. Aesthetic pleasures like bird watching, spring flowers in full bloom, walking through the thick forest, waking up to a bulbul’s song, etc. are some other benefits of the ecosystem. 2. Ethical reasons • There are thousands of plants, animals and microbes on this earth which are not useless. Every one has some intrinsic value even if it is not of any economic value to us. • It is, therefore, our moral duty to ensure well-being of all the living creatures for the utilisation of future generations. |
