d) 17.5 cm

Areas Related To Circles Class 10 MCQ With Answer: dExplaination: Reason: Area of circle = 154 cm²
⇒ nr² = 154 cm2
⇒ $$\frac{22}{7}$$ × r² = 154
⇒ r² = 154 × $$\frac{22}{7}$$
⇒ r² = 7 × 7 = 49
∴ r = √49 = 7

(a) 3 cm
(b) 3.5 cm
(c) 3.66 cm
(d) 3.8 cm

Explaination: Reason: Here r = 3.5 cm = $$\frac{35}{10}$$ = $$\frac{7}{2}$$ cm θ = 60°
Length of arc = $$\frac{θ}{360}$$ × 2πr = $$\frac{60}{360}$$ × 2 × $$\frac{22}{7}$$ = × $$\frac{7}{2}$$ × $$\frac{1}{6}$$ × 22 = $$\frac{11}{6\3}$$ = 3.66 cm

Explaination: Reason: Here area of the circle, A = 154 cm², Radius, r = ?
Area of the circle = 154 cm² …(Given)
∴ πr² = 154
⇒ $$\frac{22}{7}$$ × r² = 154
⇒ r² = 154 × latex]\frac{7}{22}[/latex] = 7 × 7
⇒ r = 7 cm
∴ Diameter of the circle = 2 × r = 2 × 7 = 14 cm

10. The length of the minute hand of a clock is 14 cm. The area swept by the minute hand in 5 minutes is
(a) 153.9 cm²
(b) 102.6 cm²
(c) 51.3 cm²
(d) 205.2 cm²

Explaination: Reason: Angle swept by the minute hand in 1 minute = (360° ÷ 60) = 6°
∴ θ = 30°
∴ Angle swept by the minute hand in 5 minutes = 6° × 5 = 30°
Length of minute hand (r) = 14 cm
∴ Area swept = $$\frac{θ}{360}$$πr² = $$\frac{30}{360}$$ × $$\frac{22}{7}$$ × 14 × 14 = $$\frac{154}{3}$$ = 51.3 cm²
