3. A circular wire of radius 42 cm is cut and bent into the form of a rectangle whose sides are in the
ratio of 6 : 5. The smaller side of the rectangle is
(a) 30 cm (b) 60 cm (c) 70 cm (d) 80 cm
Ans: (b) 60 cm
22
Length of wire = 2πr = 2π × 42 = 2 × × 42 = 264 cm
7
Let sides of rectangle are 6x and 5x

 ⇒ 2(6x + 5x) = 264 ⇒ 11x = 132 ⇒ x = 12
∴ Smaller side = 12 × 5 = 60 cm

4. ABCDEF is any hexagon with different vertices A, B, C, D, E and F as the centres of circles
with same radius r are drawn. The area of the shaded portion is

(a) πr2 (b) 2πr2 (c) 3πr2 (d) 4πr2

2
Ans: (b) 2πr
Internal angles of a regular Hexagon = 1200
1200 2 1 2
Area of one sector = r = r

∴ Area of 6 sectors = 6   r = 2 r 2

5. In the figure, PQRS is a square and O is centre of the circle. If RS = 10 2 , then area of shaded
region is

(a) 90 π – 90 (b) 80π – 80 (c) 50 π – 100 (d) 100 π – 100

Ans: (c) 50 π – 100
Diagonal of square = 2 10 2 = 20 units
∴ Diameter of circle = 20 units
Area of circle = π × (10)2 = 100π sq.units
2

Area of square = 10 2  = 200 sq. units
Area of circle not included in the square = (100π – 200) sq.units

∴ Area of shaded portion = (100π − 200) = 50π – 100.

6. If the sum of the circumferences of two circles with radii R1 and R2 is equal to the circumference
of a circle of radius R, then
(a) R1 + R2 = R (b) R1 + R2 > R (c) R1 + R2 < R
(d) nothing definite can be said about the relation among R1, R2 and R.
Ans: (a) R1 + R2 = R
2πR1 + 2πR2 = 2πR
⇒ R1 + R2 = R.

7. If the perimeter of a circle is equal to that of a square, then the ratio of the area of circle to the
area of the square is
(a) 14: 11 (b) 12: 13 (c) 11:14 (d) 13:12

 Area of minor segment (Area of Shaded region) = Area of sector AOB − Area of △ AOB
By trigonometry, AC = 15sin30⁰ and OC = 15cos30⁰
Also, AB = 2AC
∴ AB = 2 × 15sin30⁰ = 15 cm

∴ Area of minor segment (Area of Shaded region) =117.75 − 97.3125 = 20.4375 cm2
Area of major segment = Area of circle − Area of minor segment

20. Governing council of a local public development authority of Dehradun decided to build an
adventurous playground on the top of a hill, which will have adequate space for parking.

After survey, it was decided to build rectangular playground, with a semi-circular are allotted for
parking at one end of the playground. The length and breadth of the rectangular playground are
14 units and 7 units, respectively. There are two quadrants of radius 2 units on one side for
special seats.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
(i) What is the total perimeter of the parking area?
(ii) (a) What is the total area of parking and the two quadrants?
OR
(b) What is the ratio of area of playground to the area of parking area?
(iii) Find the cost of fencing the playground and parking area at the rate of ` 2 per unit.
Ans: (i) Radius of semi-circle (r) = 7/2 = 3.5 units
22
Circumference of semi-circle =  r   3.5  11 units
7
∴ Perimeter of parking area = circumference of semi-circle + diameter of semi-circle

4 2 7
Thus, total area = 19.25 + 6.285 = 25.535 unit2
OR
(b) Area of playground = length × breadth
= 14 × 7
= 98 unit2
Area of parking = 19.25 unit2 [from part (ii) a]
∴ Ratio of playground : Ratio of parking area = 98 : 19.25 = 9800/1925 = 56/11
Thus, required ratio is 56 : 11.
(iii) We know that,
Perimeter of parking area = 18 units
Also, Perimeter of playground = 2(l + b)
= 2(14 + 7) = 2 × 21 = 42 units
Thus, total perimeter of parking area and playground
= 18 + 42 – 7 = 53 units
Hence, total cost = Rs. 2 × 53 = Rs. 106
