Sum of the diamters of two circles is 35 cm and difference of their circumferences is 22 cm. Then area of the smaller circle will be
Correct Answer: Description for Correct answer:
Let \( \Large r_{1} \), \( \Large r_{2} \) be the radii of two circles, then hypothesis
\( \Large 2r_{1}+2r_{2}=35 \)
=> \( \Large r_{2}+r_{1}=\frac{35}{2}=17.5 \) ...(i)
and \( \Large 2 \pi \left(r_{2}-r_{1}\right)=22 \)
=> \( \Large r_{2} - r_{1} = \frac{22}{2 \pi }=\frac{22 \times 7}{2 \times 22}=3.5 \) ...(ii)
Subtracting equation (ii) from (i), we get
\( \Large 2r_{1}=14 \)
=> \( \Large r_{1}= 7 cm\ and\ r_{2}=10.5 cm \)
Area of smaller circle = \( \Large \pi r_{1}^{2} \)
= \( \Large \frac{22}{7} \times \left(7\right)^{2} = 154\ sq.cm. \)
