Q:

The length of a rope in meter by which a cow must be tethered in order that she may be able to graze an area of 2826 sq.m is ?

A) 15 mts B) 30 mts
C) 24 mts D) 36 mts
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 30 mts

Explanation:

The cow can graze an area of 2826 sq.m i.e it is able to cover area of circle of 2826 sq.m

 

Therefore, πr2 =2826
r2 =(2826×7/22) = 899.18 = 900
r = 30 m.

 

Therefore, the radius of the circle implies the length of the rope = 30 mts.

A) 18 cm B) 12 cm
C) 16 cm D) 14 cm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 14 cm

circumference of a circle = 2πr

 

=> 2 × 22/7 × r – r = 37
