  • Question
  • The area of a circle is increased by 22 sq cm when its radius is increased by 1 cm. Find the original radius of the circle.


  • Options
  • A. 6 cm
  • B. 3.2 cm
  • C. 3 cm
  • D. 3.5 cm

  • Correct Answer
  • 3 cm 

    Explanation

    Let original radius be r.
    Then, according to the questions,
    ? (r + 1)2 - ?r2 = 22
    ? ? x [(r + 1)2 - r2] = 22
    ? (22/7) x (r + 1 + r ) x (r + 1 - r) = 22
    ? 2r + 1 = 7
    ? 2r = 6
    ? r = 6/2 = 3 cm
