Area of circle is equal to the area of a rectangle having perimeter of 50 cms. and length more than the breadth by 3 cms. What is the diameter of the circle?

A) 7 cms B) 21 cms
C) 28 cms D) 14 cms
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 14 cms

Explanation:

Let the breadth of rectangle be x cm => Length of rectangle = (x+3) cm Now, perimeter =2(x+x+3) = 50 => 2x + 3 = 25 => x = 11 Thus, breadth = 11 cm and length = 14 cm Area of circle = Area of rectangle =>pi * r* r = 14 * 11 =>r*r = 14 * 11 * 7/22 =>r = 7 cm Diameter = 2 * 7 = 14 cm
