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 circumference of the two circles.
Sol.        Let r be the radius of the circle whose circumference is equal to the sum of the circumference of two circles of radii 19 cm and 9 cm.
Therefore, 2πr=2π(19)+2π(9)
⇒ r=19+9=28
Hence, the radius of the new circles is 28 cm.

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 area of the two circles.
Sol.       Let r be the radius of the circle whose area is equal to the sum of the area of the circles of radii 8 cm and 6 cm.
Therefore, πr2=π(8)2+π(6)2
⇒ r2=82+62
⇒ r2=64+36
⇒ r2=100
⇒ r=100−−−√=10
Hence, the radius of the new circle is 10 cm.

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.         Distance covered by the car in 10 minutes
=(66×1000×100×1060)cm
=66000006cm
Circumference of the wheel of the car
=(2×227×40)cm
Therefore, Number of revolutions in 10 minutes when the car is travelling at a speed of 66 km/hr.
=(66000006×72×22×40)=4375
Hence, the wheel of car makes 4375 revolutions in 10 minutes.

Q.10      The area of an equilateral triangle ABC is 17320.5 cm2. With each vertex of the triangle as centre, a circle is drawn with radius equal to half the length  of the side of the triangle (see figure). Find the area of the shaded region.
(Use π=3.14and3–√=1.73205)

Sol.       Let each side of the triangle be a cm. Then,
Area = 17320.5cm2

=[17320.5−3(60360×3.14×100×100)]cm2
