Correct Answer :

Option D

154

154

Solution :

The correct answer is 154.

Let the radius of the circle be r and the length of the rectangle be l.

According to the question, the ratio of the radius of the circle to the length of the rectangle is 1:6:
rl=16
This gives the length of the rectangle as:
l=6r

The breadth (b) of the rectangle is given as 7 cm.

Now, let's write the expressions for the areas:
1. Area of the circle (Acircle):
Acircle=πr2
2. Area of the rectangle (Arectangle):
Arectangle=l×b=6r×7=42r

The ratio of the area of the circle to the area of the rectangle is given as 11:6:
AcircleArectangle=116

Substituting the area expressions into the ratio equation:
πr242r=116

Simplifying the equation by canceling r (since r0):
πr42=116

Multiplying both sides by 42 to solve for πr:
πr=116×42
πr=11×7
πr=77

The circumference of a circle is given by the formula:
Circumference=2πr

Substituting the value of πr=77 into the circumference formula:
Circumference=2×77=154 cm
