Class 10 Maths – Areas Related to Circles MCQ

1. The area of a circle with radius 'r' is:

a) πr
b) πr^2
c) 2πr
d) r/π

Answer:

b) πr^2

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the area of a circle is π times the square of its radius.

2. If the circumference of a circle is 44 cm, then its radius is:

a) 7 cm
b) 14 cm
c) 22 cm
d) 44 cm

Answer:

a) 7 cm

Explanation:

Circumference = 2πr. If circumference is 44 cm, then 2πr = 44, which gives r = 7 cm.

3. The area of a sector of angle 120° in a circle of radius 14 cm is:

a) 184 cm^2
b) 154 cm^2
c) 88 cm^2
d) 123 cm^2

Answer:

a) 184 cm^2

Explanation:

Area of sector = (θ/360) x πr^2 = (120/360) x 22/7 x 14 x 14 = 184 cm^2.

4. The length of an arc of a sector with a radius of 7 cm and central angle of 60° is:

a) 7π cm
b) 22 cm
c) 11π/3 cm
d) π/7 cm

Answer:

c) 11π/3 cm

Explanation:

Length of an arc = (θ/360) x 2πr = (60/360) x 2π x 7 = 11π/3 cm.

5. The perimeter of a semi-circle of radius 7 cm is:

a) 14π cm
b) 21 cm
c) 14 + 7π cm
d) 14 cm

Answer:

c) 14 + 7π cm

Explanation:

Perimeter includes the curved part (πr) and the diameter (2r). For a semi-circle, it's πr + 2r.

6. The area enclosed between two concentric circles is called:

a) Sector
b) Segment
c) Annulus
d) Arc

Answer:

c) Annulus

Explanation:

The region between two concentric circles is termed as annulus.

7. A circular park has a path 7m wide running inside it along its boundary. If the area of the path is 462 m^2, then the radius of the park is:

a) 21 m
b) 14 m
c) 28 m
d) 7 m

Answer:

c) 28 m

Explanation:

Let the radius be r. The area of the path = π(r^2 – (r-7)^2) = 462 m^2. Solving gives r = 28 m.

8. The area of the largest triangle that can be inscribed in a semi-circle of radius 'r' is:

a) ½ r^2
b) r^2
c) ¼ πr^2
d) ½ πr^2

Answer:

a) ½ r^2

Explanation:

The largest triangle inscribed in a semi-circle is a right triangle with the hypotenuse as the diameter. The area is ½ x base x height = ½ r^2.

9. The area of a circular ring is 616 cm^2. If the outer radius is 14 cm, the inner radius is:

a) 12 cm
b) 10 cm
c) 8 cm
d) 6 cm

Answer:

d) 6 cm

Explanation:

Area of ring = π(14^2 – r^2) = 616 cm^2. Solving gives inner radius r = 6 cm.

10. A quarter circle of radius 14 cm is cut out from a square paper of side 14 cm. The area of the remaining paper is:

a) 154 cm^2
b) 98 cm^2
c) 98π cm^2
d) 196 – 49π cm^2

Answer:

d) 196 – 49π cm^2

Explanation:

Remaining area = Area of square – Area of quarter circle = 14^2 – ¼π(14^2) = 196 – 49π cm^2.
