The area of circle and rectangle is 11:6 and the ratio of radius of the circle to length of the rectangle is 1:6. If the breadth of the rectangle is 7 cm, then find the circumference of the circle (in cm).
Correct Answer :
154
Solution :
The correct answer is 154.
Let the radius of the circle be and the length of the rectangle be .
According to the question, the ratio of the radius of the circle to the length of the rectangle is 1:6:
This gives the length of the rectangle as:
The breadth () of the rectangle is given as 7 cm.
Now, let's write the expressions for the areas:
1. Area of the circle ():
2. Area of the rectangle ():
The ratio of the area of the circle to the area of the rectangle is given as 11:6:
Substituting the area expressions into the ratio equation:
Simplifying the equation by canceling (since ):
Multiplying both sides by 42 to solve for :
The circumference of a circle is given by the formula:
Substituting the value of into the circumference formula:
