Exercise 12.1
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.
Sol.1) Radius (๐1) of 1st circle = 19 cm
Radius (๐2) or 2nd circle = 9 cm
Let the radius of 3rd circle be ๐.
Circumference of 1st circle = 2๐๐1 = 2๐ (19) = 38๐
Circumference of 2nd circle = 2๐๐2 = 2๐ (9) = 18๐
Circumference of 3rd circle = 2๐๐
Given that,
Circumference of 3rd circle = Circumference of 1st circle + Circumference of 2nd circle
= 2๐๐ = 38๐ + 18๐ = 56๐
= ๐ = 56๐/2๐ = 28
Therefore, the radius of the circle which has circumference equal to the sum of the circumference of the given two circles is 28 ๐๐.
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.
Sol.2) Radius (๐1) of 1st circle = 8 cm
Radius (๐2) of 2nd circle = 6 cm
Let the radius of 3rd circle be ๐.
Area of 1st circle = ๐๐12 = ๐(8)2 = 64๐
Area of 2nd circle = ๐๐22 = ๐(6)2 = 36๐
Given that,
Area of 3rd circle = Area of 1st circle + Area of 2nd circle
๐๐2 = ๐๐12 + ๐๐22
๐๐2 = 64๐ + 36๐
๐๐2 = 100๐
๐2 = 100
๐ = ±10
However, the radius cannot be negative. Therefore, the radius of the circle having area equal to the sum of the areas of the two circles is 10 cm.
Q.3) Given figure depicts an archery target marked with its five scoring areas 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. [๐๐ ๐ ๐ = 22/7]
Sol.3) Diameter of Gold circle (first circle) = 21 ๐๐
Radius of first circle, ๐1 = 21/2 ๐๐ = 10.5 ๐๐
Each of the other bands is 10.5 ๐๐ wide,
∴ Radius of second circle, ๐2 = 10.5 ๐๐ + 10.5 ๐๐ = 21๐๐
∴ Radius of third circle, ๐3 = 21 ๐๐ + 10.5 ๐๐ = 31.5 ๐๐
∴ Radius of fourth circle, ๐4 = 31.5 ๐๐ + 10.5 ๐๐ = 42 ๐๐
∴ Radius of fifth circle, ๐5 = 42 ๐๐ + 10.5 ๐๐ = 52.5 ๐๐
Area of gold region = ๐ ๐1
2 = ๐ (10.5)2 = 346.5 ๐๐2
Area of red region = Area of second circle - Area of first circle
= ๐ ๐22 − 346.5 ๐๐2
= ๐(21)2 − 346.5 ๐๐2
= 1386 − 346.5 ๐๐2 = 1039.5 ๐๐2
Area of blue region = Area of third circle - Area of second circle
= ๐ ๐32 – 1386 ๐๐2
= ๐(31.5)2 − 1386 ๐๐2
= 3118.5 − 1386 ๐๐2 = 1732.5 ๐๐2
Area of black region = Area of fourth circle - Area of third circle
= ๐ ๐42 − 3118.5 ๐๐2
= ๐(42)2 − 1386 ๐๐2
= 5544 − 3118.5 ๐๐2 = 2425.5 ๐๐2
Area of white region = Area of fifth circle - Area of fourth circle
= ๐ ๐52 − 5544 ๐๐2
= ๐(52.5)2 − 5544 ๐๐2
= 8662.5 − 5544 ๐๐2 = 3118.5 ๐๐2
Therefore, areas of gold, red, blue , black & white regions are 346.5๐๐2, 1039.5๐๐2,
1732.5๐๐2, 2425.5๐๐2 & 3118.5๐๐2 respectively.
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?
Sol.4) Diameter of the wheels of a car = 80 ๐๐
Circumference of wheels = 2๐๐ = 2๐ × ๐ = 80 ๐ ๐๐
Distance travelled by car in 10 minutes =
66 × 1000 × 100 × 10/60 = 1100000 ๐๐/๐
No. of revolutions = Distance travelled by car/Circumference of wheels
= 1100000/80
๐ = 1100000 × 7/80×22 = 4375
Therefore, each wheel of the car will make 4375 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) ๐ units (C) 4 units (D) 7 units
Sol.5) Let the radius of the circle be ๐.
∴ Perimeter of the circle = Circumference of the circle = 2๐๐
∴ Area of the circle = ๐ ๐2
A/q,
2๐๐ = ๐ ๐2
⇒ 2 = ๐
Thus, the radius of the circle is 2 units.
Hence, (A) is correct answer.

Therefore, the area swept by the minute hand in 5 minutes will be the area of a sector of 30° in a circle of 14 cm radius.
Therefore, the area swept by the minute hand in 5 minutes is 154/3 ๐๐2

Q.8) A horse is tied to a peg at one corner of a square shaped grass field of side 15 m by means of a 5 m long rope (see Fig.). Find
(i) the area of that part of the field in which the horse can graze.
(ii) the increase in the grazing area if the rope were 10๐ long instead of 5m.
(๐๐ ๐ ๐ = 3.14)
Sol.8) Side of square field = 15 ๐
Length of rope is the radius of the circle, ๐ = 5 ๐
Since, the horse is tied at one end of square field,
it will graze only quarter of the field with radius 5 ๐.
(i) Area of circle = ๐๐2 = 3.14 × 52 = 78.5 ๐2
Area of that part of the field in which the horse can graze = 1/4 of area of the circle = 78.5/4 = 19.625 ๐2
(ii) Area of circle if the length of rope is increased to 10 ๐ = ๐๐2
= 3.14 × 102 = 314 ๐2
Area of that part of the field in which the horse can graze = 1/4 of area of the circle
= 314/4 = 78.5 ๐2
Increase in grazing area = 78.5 ๐2 − 19.625 ๐2 = 58.875 ๐2

Area between the two consecutive ribs of the umbrella = Total area/Number of ribs
Total Area = ๐๐2
= 22/7 × (45)2 = 6364.29 ๐๐2
∴ Area between the two consecutive ribs = 6364.29/8
๐๐2 = 795.5 ๐๐

Given that each wiper has a blade of length 25 cm and sweeps through an angle of 115°, you can use this information to find the area swept by each wiper.
Since there are two wipers, the total area cleaned at each sweep is the sum of the areas swept by each wiper:

Cost of making design = ๐
๐ . 0.35 ๐๐๐ ๐๐2
∠๐ = 360°/6 = 60°
๐ฅ๐ด๐๐ต is isosceles as two sides are equal. (Radius of the circle)
∴ ∠๐ด = ∠๐ต Sum of all angles of triangle = 180°
∠๐ด + ∠๐ต + ∠๐ = 180°
⇒ 2 ∠๐ด = 180° − 60°
Area of design = Area of sector ๐ด๐ถ๐ต - Area of equilateral ๐ฅ๐ด๐๐ต
= 410.66 ๐๐2 − 333.2 ๐๐2 = 77.46 ๐๐2
