MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS

Question 1. Find the area of circle whose diameter is 'd'
(a) 2pd
(b) \(\frac{\pi d^2}{4}\)
(c) p.d
(d) pd2
Answer: (b) \(\frac{\pi d^2}{4}\)
Radius of the circle \(r = \frac{d}{2}\)
Area of the circle = \(\pi r^2 = \pi \left(\frac{d}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}\)
In simple words: The area of a circle with diameter \(d\) is calculated using the formula \(\frac{\pi d^2}{4}\).

Exam Tip: Remember to substitute radius \(r = \frac{d}{2}\) in the standard area formula \(\pi r^2\).

 

Question 2. If the circumference and area of a circle are numerically equal then what is the radius of the circle equal to
(a) r = 1
(b) r = 7
(c) r = 2
(d) r = c
Answer: (c) r = 2
Circumference of circle = \(2\pi r\)
Area of circle = \(\pi r^2\)
Given, \(2\pi r = \pi r^2\)
\(2 = r\)
In simple words: When the distance around a circle equals its inside space numerically, the radius is always 2 units.

Exam Tip: Equate \(2\pi r = \pi r^2\) and cancel out common terms \(\pi\) and \(r\) (since \(r \neq 0\)) directly.

 

Question 3. The radius of a circle is 7 cm. What is the perimeter of the semi circle?
(a) 36 cm
(b) 14 cm
(c) 7p
(d) 14p
Answer: (a) 36 cm
Perimeter of semicircle = \(\pi r + 2r\)
Perimeter = \(\frac{22}{7} \times 7 + 2(7)\)
Perimeter = \(22 + 14 = 36\text{ cm}\)
In simple words: The perimeter of a semicircle includes both the curved semicircular boundary and its straight diameter.

Exam Tip: Do not forget to add the diameter (\(2r\)) when finding the perimeter of a semicircle; just finding \(\pi r\) gives only the curved part.

 

Question 4. The radius of two circles are 13 cm and 6 cm respectively. What is the radius of the circle which has circumference equal to the sum of the circumference of two circles?
(a) 19p
(b) 19 cm
(c) 25 cm
(d) 32 cm
Answer: (b) 19 cm
Let the radius of the new circle be \(R\).
\(2\pi R = 2\pi r_1 + 2\pi r_2\)
\(2\pi R = 2\pi (13 + 6)\)
\(R = 13 + 6 = 19\text{ cm}\)
In simple words: The radius of the combined circle is simply the sum of the radii of the two individual circles when their circumferences are added.

Exam Tip: Factor out \(2\pi\) from both sides to quickly find that \(R = r_1 + r_2\) for circumference addition problems.

 

Question 5. The circumference of two circles are in the ratio 4 : 5 what is the ratio of the areas of these circles.
(a) 4 : 5
(b) 16 : 25
(c) 64 : 125
(d) 8 : 10
Answer: (b) 16 : 25
Let radii be \(r_1\) and \(r_2\).
\(\frac{2\pi r_1}{2\pi r_2} = \frac{4}{5} \implies \frac{r_1}{r_2} = \frac{4}{5}\)
Ratio of areas = \(\frac{\pi r_1^2}{\pi r_2^2} = \left(\frac{r_1}{r_2}\right)^2 = \left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^2 = \frac{16}{25}\)
In simple words: The ratio of areas of two circles is the square of the ratio of their radii or circumferences.

Exam Tip: Always square the given linear ratio to find the ratio of their areas.

 

Question 6. The area of an equilateral triangle is \(\sqrt{3}\text{ m}^2\) its one side is
(a) 4 m
(b) \(3\sqrt{3}\text{ m}\)
(c) \(\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{4}\text{ m}\)
(d) 2 m
Answer: (d) 2 m
Area of equilateral triangle = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^2\)
\(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^2 = \sqrt{3}\)
\(a^2 = 4 \implies a = 2\text{ m}\)
In simple words: By substituting the given area into the equilateral triangle formula, we solve for the side length \(a\).

 

Question 7. The volume of a cuboid is \(440\text{ cm}^3\). The area of its base is \(66\text{ cm}^2\). What is its height?
(a) \(\frac{40}{3}\text{ cm}\)
(b) \(\frac{20}{3}\text{ cm}\)
(c) 440 cm
(d) 66 cm
Answer: (a) \(\frac{40}{3}\text{ cm}\)
Volume of cuboid = Base Area \(\times\) Height
\(440 = 66 \times h\)
\(h = \frac{440}{66} = \frac{40}{3}\text{ cm}\)
In simple words: Height is found by dividing the total volume by the area of the base.

Exam Tip: Volume of any prism or cylinder is always equal to \((\text{Base Area}) \times (\text{Height})\).

 

Question 8. Volume of two cubes is in the ratio of 8 : 125. The ratio of their surface areas is
(a) 8 : 125
(b) 2 : 5
(c) 4 : 25
(d) 16 : 25
Answer: (c) 4 : 25
Ratio of volumes = \(\frac{a_1^3}{a_2^3} = \frac{8}{125} \implies \frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{2}{5}\)
Ratio of surface areas = \(\frac{6a_1^2}{6a_2^2} = \left(\frac{a_1}{a_2}\right)^2 = \left(\frac{2}{5}\right)^2 = \frac{4}{25}\)
In simple words: First find the ratio of sides by taking cube root, then square it to get the ratio of surface areas.

Exam Tip: Volume ratio \(\to\) cube root \(\to\) side ratio \(\to\) square \(\to\) surface area ratio.

 

Question 9. If the perimeter of a sector is 'l' and radius is 'r' then the area of the sector is
(a) l . r
(b) l . r\(^2\)
(c) \(\frac{lr}{2}\)
(d) l\(^2\) . r
Answer: (c) \(\frac{lr}{2}\)
Area of sector = \(\frac{1}{2} \times \text{arc length} \times \text{radius}\)
Area = \(\frac{l \cdot r}{2}\)
In simple words: The area of a circular sector is half the product of its arc length and its radius, similar to the area of a triangle (\(\frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}\)).

Exam Tip: This is a direct formula analogy: Sector Area = \(\frac{1}{2}lr\).

 

Question 10. An arc of a circle is of length \(5\pi\text{ cm}\) and the section it bounds has an area of \(10\pi\text{ cm}^2\). Then the radius of circle is :
(a) 2 cm
(b) 4 cm
(c) \(2\sqrt{2}\text{ cm}\)
(d) 8 cm
Answer: (b) 4 cm
Area = \(\frac{1}{2} \times l \times r\)
\(10\pi = \frac{1}{2} \times 5\pi \times r\)
\(r = \frac{2 \times 10\pi}{5\pi} = 4\text{ cm}\)
In simple words: Using the relationship between sector area, arc length, and radius, we can solve directly for \(r\).

Exam Tip: Whenever arc length and sector area are both given, use Area = \(\frac{1}{2}lr\) to find the radius instantly.

 

Question 11. Three cubes each of side 'a' are joined from end to end to form a cuboid. The volume of the new cuboids :
(a) a\(^2\)
(b) 3a\(^3\)
(c) a\(^3\)
(d) 6a\(^3\)
Answer: (b) 3a\(^3\)
Volume of one cube = \(a^3\)
Volume of 3 identical cubes combined = \(3 \times a^3 = 3a^3\)
In simple words: Joining cubes end-to-end changes dimensions like length, but the total volume remains the sum of individual volumes.

Exam Tip: Volume is additive. Total volume is always the sum of individual constituent volumes.

 

Question 12. A wire is in the form of a circle of radius 7 cm. It is bent into a square the area of the square is :
(a) \(11\text{ cm}^2\)
(b) \(121\text{ cm}^2\)
(c) \(154\text{ cm}^2\)
(d) \(44\text{ cm}^2\)
Answer: (b) \(121\text{ cm}^2\)
Perimeter of square = Circumference of circle
\(4 \times \text{side} = 2\pi r = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7 = 44\text{ cm}\)
Side of square = \(\frac{44}{4} = 11\text{ cm}\)
Area of square = \(\text{side}^2 = 11^2 = 121\text{ cm}^2\)
In simple words: The length of the wire (perimeter) stays the same when reshaped from a circle to a square.

Exam Tip: Perimeter/Length remains constant during shape conversions.

 

SHORT ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS

Question 13. The volume and surface area of a sphere are numerically equal. Find the radius of the sphere.
Answer: Volume of sphere = Surface area of sphere
\(\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 = 4\pi r^2\)
\(\frac{r}{3} = 1\)
\(r = 3\text{ units}\)
In simple words: Setting the volume formula equal to the surface area formula lets us solve for the radius \(r\).

Exam Tip: Cancel out common terms \(4, \pi, r^2\) carefully on both sides.

 

Question 14. Find the perimeter of the figure in which a semicircle is drawn on BC as diameter. \(\angle BAC = 90^\circ\).
Answer: In right \(\triangle ABC\), by Pythagoras theorem:
\(BC^2 = AB^2 + AC^2 = 5^2 + 12^2 = 25 + 144 = 169\)
\(BC = 13\text{ cm}\)
Perimeter of the figure = \(AB + AC + \text{Arc length of semicircle on } BC\)
Arc length = \(\frac{1}{2} \times 2\pi r = \pi r = \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{13}{2} = \frac{143}{7} = 20\frac{3}{7}\text{ cm}\)
Total Perimeter = \(5 + 12 + 20\frac{3}{7} = 37\frac{3}{7}\text{ cm}\)
In simple words: Find hypotenuse \(BC\) using Pythagoras theorem, then add the two straight sides (\(AB\) and \(AC\)) and the curved boundary of the semicircle.

Exam Tip: Perimeter always means the outer boundary; internal lines are excluded.

 

Question 15. Find the area of shaded region in the figure.
Answer: Side of square = 14 cm
Radius of semicircle = \(\frac{14}{2} = 7\text{ cm}\)
Area of shaded region = Area of square - Area of semicircle
\(= (14 \times 14) - \left(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7^2\right)\)
\(= 196 - 77 = 119\text{ cm}^2\) (Note: standard textbook answer key states \(49\text{ cm}^2\) based on specific alternate composite figure variants, but standard calculation yields 119 cm\(^2\)).
In simple words: Subtract the area of the unshaded semicircle from the total area of the square.

Exam Tip: Shaded Area = Total Area - Unshaded Area.

 

Question 16. The numerical difference between circumference and diameter is 30 cm. What is the radius of the circle?
Answer: Circumference - Diameter = 30
\(2\pi r - 2r = 30\)
\(2r (\pi - 1) = 30\)
\(2r \left(\frac{22}{7} - 1\right) = 30\)
\(2r \left(\frac{15}{7}\right) = 30\)
\(\frac{30}{7}r = 30 \implies r = 7\text{ cm}\)
Diameter = \(2r = 2 \times 7 = 14\text{ cm}\)
In simple words: Set up an algebraic equation for circumference minus diameter and solve for \(r\).

Exam Tip: Factor out \(2r\) to simplify expressions involving circumference and diameter differences.

 

Question 17. What is the perimeter of a sector of angle \(45^\circ\) of a circle with radius 7 cm.
Answer: Perimeter of sector = Arc length + \(2 \times \text{radius}\)
Arc length \(l = \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \times 2\pi r = \frac{45^\circ}{360^\circ} \times 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7 = \frac{1}{8} \times 44 = 5.5\text{ cm}\)
Perimeter = \(5.5 + 2(7) = 5.5 + 14 = 19.5\text{ cm}\)
In simple words: The perimeter of a sector includes the curved arc and the two straight radii meeting at the center.

Exam Tip: Always include both straight radius edges when calculating a sector's perimeter.

 

Question 18. From each vertex of trapezium a sector of radius 7 cm has been cut off. Write the total area cut off.
Answer: A trapezium has 4 vertices and each vertex forms an angle inside a corner. The sum of all interior angles of a quadrilateral (trapezium) is \(360^\circ\).
Total area cut off = Area of circle with radius 7 cm
\(= \pi r^2 = \frac{22}{7} \times 7^2 = 154\text{ cm}^2\)
In simple words: Since the four corner angles of any quadrilateral add up to \(360^\circ\), the four sectors combine to form one complete circle.

Exam Tip: Combine corner angle sectors into a single full circle when the sum of angles is \(360^\circ\).

 

Question 19. Write the ratio of the areas of two sectors having angles \(120^\circ\) and \(90^\circ\).
Answer: Let radii be equal, ratio of areas = \(\frac{\frac{120^\circ}{360^\circ} \pi r^2}{\frac{90^\circ}{360^\circ} \pi r^2}\)
\(= \frac{120}{90} = \frac{4}{3} = 4 : 3\)
In simple words: The ratio of sector areas with the same radius is equal to the ratio of their central angles.

 

Question 20. How many cubes of side 4 cm can be cut from a cuboid measuring (\(16 \times 12 \times 8\)).
Answer: Number of cubes = \(\frac{\text{Volume of cuboid}}{\text{Volume of one cube}}\)
\(= \frac{16 \times 12 \times 8}{4 \times 4 \times 4} = \frac{16}{4} \times \frac{12}{4} \times \frac{8}{4} = 4 \times 3 \times 2 = 24\)
In simple words: Divide the volume of the large cuboid by the volume of a single small cube.

Exam Tip: Divide each dimension individually by the side of the small cube for quick mental calculation.

 

Question 21. The diameter and height of a cylinder and a cone are equal. What is the ratio of their volume.
Answer: Let radius be \(r\) and height be \(h\). Diameter = height \(\implies 2r = h \implies h = 2r\).
Volume of cylinder = \(\pi r^2 h\)
Volume of cone = \(\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h\)
Ratio = \(\frac{\pi r^2 h}{\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h} = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{3}} = 3 : 1\)
In simple words: A cylinder's volume is always three times the volume of a cone with the same base and height.

 

Question 22. A cylinder, a cone and a hemisphere are of equal base and have the same height. What is the ratio in their volumes?
Answer: Let radius be \(r\) and height be \(h = r\).
Volume of cylinder = \(\pi r^2 (r) = \pi r^3\)
Volume of cone = \(\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 (r) = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^3\)
Volume of hemisphere = \(\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3\)
Ratio = \(\pi r^3 : \frac{1}{3}\pi r^3 : \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3 = 1 : \frac{1}{3} : \frac{2}{3} = 3 : 1 : 2\)
In simple words: Substitute \(h = r\) into each shape's volume formula and simplify the ratio.

Exam Tip: Multiply the entire ratio by 3 to clear fractions: \(3 : 1 : 2\).

 

Question 23. A bicycle wheel makes 5000 revolutions in moving 10 km. Write the perimeter of wheel.
Answer: Total distance = \(10\text{ km} = 10 \times 1000 \times 100\text{ cm} = 1,000,000\text{ cm}\)
Perimeter (Circumference) = \(\frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Number of revolutions}}\)
\(= \frac{1,000,000\text{ cm}}{5000} = 200\text{ cm} = 2\text{ m}\)
In simple words: Divide the total distance traveled by the number of wheel rotations to find the circumference.

 

Question 24. The sum of the radius of the base and the height of a solid cylinder is 15 cm. If total surface area is \(660\text{ cm}^2\). Write the radius of the base of cylinder.
Answer: Given: \(r + h = 15\)
Total Surface Area = \(2\pi r(r + h) = 660\)
\(2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r \times 15 = 660\)
\(\frac{44 \times 15}{7} r = 660 \implies \frac{660}{7} r = 660\)
\(r = 7\text{ cm}\)
In simple words: Substitute the sum \((r + h)\) into the total surface area formula for a cylinder and solve for \(r\).

Exam Tip: Use the given sum substitution \(r + h = 15\) directly to simplify the surface area equation.

 

Question 25. Find the height of largest right circular cone that can be cut out of a cube whose volume is \(729\text{ cm}^3\).
Answer: Volume of cube = \(a^3 = 729 \implies a = 9\text{ cm}\)
For the largest cone inside a cube, the diameter of the base equals the side of the cube, and the height of the cone equals the side of the cube.
Height of cone = \(9\text{ cm}\) (Note: standard answer key lists 27 cm under specific interpretations, but standard geometry maximum inscribed height is equal to cube edge \(a = 9\text{ cm}\)).
In simple words: The maximum height a cone can have inside a cube is equal to the edge length of the cube.

Exam Tip: Inscribed cone height equals cube edge \(a\).

 

Question 26. What is the ratio of the areas of a circle and an equilateral triangle whose diameter and a side of triangle are equal.
Answer: Let diameter of circle = \(d\), so radius \(r = \frac{d}{2}\). Side of equilateral triangle \(a = d\).
Area of circle = \(\pi r^2 = \pi \left(\frac{d}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}\)
Area of equilateral triangle = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}d^2\)
Ratio = \(\frac{\frac{\pi d^2}{4}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}d^2} = \pi : \sqrt{3}\)
In simple words: Write both area formulas in terms of diameter \(d\) and take their ratio.

Exam Tip: Cancel out common terms like \(d^2 / 4\) from both numerators and denominators.

 

Question 27. If the circumference of the circle exceeds its diameter by 30 cm. What is the diameter of the circle
Answer: Circumference - Diameter = 30
\(\pi d - d = 30\)
\(d(\pi - 1) = 30\)
\(d \left(\frac{22}{7} - 1\right) = 30 \implies d \left(\frac{15}{7}\right) = 30\)
\(d = \frac{30 \times 7}{15} = 14\text{ cm}\)
In simple words: Use diameter \(d\) in place of \(2r\) to solve the circumference-diameter difference equation directly.

Exam Tip: Formula: \(\pi d - d = 30 \implies d(\pi - 1) = 30\).

 

Question 28. The length of an arc of a circle of radius 12 cm is \(10\pi\text{ cm}\). Write the angle measure of this arc.
Answer: Arc length \(l = \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \times 2\pi r\)
\(10\pi = \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \times 2\pi (12)\)
\(10\pi = \frac{24\pi \theta}{360^\circ}\)
\(\theta = \frac{10 \times 360^\circ}{24} = \frac{3600}{24} = 150^\circ\)
In simple words: Substitute arc length and radius into the arc length formula to solve for angle \(\theta\).

Exam Tip: \(\theta = \frac{l \times 360^\circ}{2\pi r}\).

 

Question 29. The cost of fencing a circular field at the rate of Rs. 10 per meter is Rs. 440. What is the radius of the circular field?
Answer: Perimeter (Circumference) = \(\frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Rate per meter}} = \frac{440}{10} = 44\text{ m}\)
\(2\pi r = 44\)
\(2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r = 44\)
\(\frac{44}{7} r = 44 \implies r = 7\text{ m}\)
In simple words: Divide total cost by rate to find perimeter, then use circumference formula to find radius.

Exam Tip: Total Cost = Perimeter \(\times\) Rate.

 

Question 30. Find the perimeter of the protractor if its diameter is 14 cm.
Answer: A protractor is shaped like a semicircle with its diameter baseline.
Perimeter = Curved semicircle arc + Diameter
\(= \pi r + d = \left(\frac{22}{7} \times 7\right) + 14 = 22 + 14 = 36\text{ cm}\)
In simple words: Add the curved boundary of the semicircle (\(\pi r\)) and the straight diameter baseline.

 

Question 31. A path of 5 m is build round the circular park of radius 15m. Find the area of the path.
Answer: Inner radius \(r = 15\text{ m}\)
Outer radius \(R = 15 + 5 = 20\text{ m}\)
Area of path = Area of outer circle - Area of inner circle
\(= \pi R^2 - \pi r^2 = \pi (R^2 - r^2) = \pi (R + r)(R - r)\)
\(= \frac{22}{7} (20 + 15)(20 - 15) = \frac{22}{7} (35)(5) = 22 \times 5 \times 5 = 550\text{ m}^2\)
In simple words: Calculate the area of the large outer circle and subtract the area of the inner circular park.

Exam Tip: Use the concentric circle area formula \(\pi(R+r)(R-r)\) to avoid large square calculations.

 

Question 32. The radii of two circles are 4 cm and 3 cm respectively. Find the radius of a circle having area equal to the sum of the areas of the circles.
Answer: Let radius of the new circle be \(R\).
\(\pi R^2 = \pi r_1^2 + \pi r_2^2\)
\(\pi R^2 = \pi (4^2 + 3^2)\)
\(R^2 = 16 + 9 = 25\)
\(R = 5\text{ cm}\)

Question 34. ABC is an equilateral triangle of side 30m. A Cow is tied at vertex A by means of 10m long rope. What is the area the Cow can graze in?
Answer: In an equilateral triangle, each interior angle is \(60^\circ\).
Area grazed = Area of sector with radius \(r = 10\text{ m}\) and angle \(\theta = 60^\circ\)
\(= \frac{60^\circ}{360^\circ} \times \pi r^2 = \frac{1}{6} \times \pi (10)^2 = \frac{100\pi}{6} = \frac{50\pi}{3}\text{ m}^2\)
In simple words: The cow grazes in a circular sector formed by the vertex angle of \(60^\circ\) and rope length 10 m.

Exam Tip: Equilateral triangle interior angles are always \(60^\circ\).

\(= \frac{1}{2} \times \pi \times 400 = 200\pi\text{ cm}^2\)
In simple words: Multiply the area of one blade sector by 4 to get the total area of all four blades.

 

Question 36. Find the perimeter of the shaded region.
Answer: Length of rectangle = 4 cm, Height = 6 cm. The shaded region has a semicircle cut at the top.
Perimeter = \(AB + BC + CD + DA + \text{Arc of semicircle}\)
\(= 4 + 6 + 4 + \pi r\) (where diameter = 4 cm, so radius \(r = 2\text{ cm}\))
\(= 14 + 2\pi\text{ cm}\) (or expressed as \((16 + \pi)\text{ cm}\) depending on exact boundary configuration in source diagram variants).
In simple words: Add the three outer straight sides and the inner curved semicircle boundary.

Exam Tip: Include all bounding edges that form the outer perimeter of the shaded region.

 

Question 37. Two concentric circle with centre 'O' and radius 7 cm and 14 cm. If \(\angle AOC = 120^\circ\) what is the area of shaded region?
Answer: Area of shaded region = Area of outer sector - Area of inner sector
\(= \frac{120^\circ}{360^\circ} \pi R^2 - \frac{120^\circ}{360^\circ} \pi r^2\)
\(= \frac{1}{3} \pi (R^2 - r^2) = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} (14^2 - 7^2)\)
\(= \frac{22}{21} (196 - 49) = \frac{22}{21} (147) = 22 \times 7 = 154\text{ cm}^2\)
In simple words: Subtract the area of the smaller sector from the larger sector using the sector area formula.

 

Question 38. Find the perimeter of the shaded portion.
Answer: Perimeter = Sum of all outer semicircular arcs forming the boundary.
Given radii segments = 14 units each.
Perimeter = \(\pi r_1 + \pi r_2 + \pi r_3 = \pi (14 + 14 + 14) = 42\pi\)
In simple words: Add the lengths of all individual semicircular curves that make up the outer boundary.

Exam Tip: Perimeter of complex curved shapes is the sum of their constituent arc lengths.
