Question Details

On a rectangular metal sheet of area 135 sq in, a circle is painted such that the circle touches two opposite sides. If the area of the sheet left unpainted is two-thirds of the painted area then the perimeter of the rectangle in inches is

Options

A

5 π ( 3 + 9 π )

B

3 π ( 5 2 + 6 π )

C

3 π ( 5 + 12 π )

D

4 π ( 3 + 9 π )

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option C

3 π ( 5 + 12 π )

Solution :

Let the dimensions of the rectangular sheet be length l and width w such that the area is:
l×w=135

A circle is painted on the sheet such that it touches two opposite sides. Let it touch the sides of length l, so the diameter of the circle is equal to the width w of the rectangle (hence radius r=w2).
The painted area (area of the circle) is:
Ap=πr2=π(w22=πw24

The area left unpainted is 135Ap. We are given:
135Ap=23Ap
135=53Ap
Ap=81

Substituting the expression for Ap:
πw24=81
w2=324π
w=18π

Since the area of the rectangle is l×w=135:
l=135w=13518π=152π

The perimeter of the rectangle is:
P=2(l+w)=2(152π+18π)=15π+36π

We can factor out 35π to match Option 3:
P=35π(5+125π) which is not in the exact option form. Let us rewrite Option 3's expression:
35π(1+125π) (with a denominator of 5 inside, matching 35π+365π if the reconstruction from the scrambled PDF text 123/5 style is formatted as)
Let's simplify:
P=35π(5+125π)=35π×5(1+125π)=15π(1+125π)=15π+36π.

This matches Option 3, which is:
35π(5+125π) or simplified to 35π(1+125π).
