WBBSE Class 9 Maths Mensuration Chapter 2 Circumference Of Circle Multiple Choice Questions
Example 1. The ratio of the velocity of the hour’s hand and minute’s hand at a clock is
- 1: 12
- 12: 1
- 1: 2h
- 2h: 1
Solution: Let the length of the radius of the clock = r unit
∴ In 1 hour hour’s hand covers = \(\frac{2 \pi r}{12}\) unit
In h hour minute’s hand covers 2πr unit
∴ Ratio = \(\frac{2 \pi r}{12}\): 2πr = \(\frac{1}{2}\): 1 = 1: 12

∴ The correct answer is 1. 1: 12
Example 2. Some take \(\frac{\pi x}{100}\) minute to go one completer round of a circular path. Soma will take time for going round the park diametrically.
- \(\frac{x}{200}\)minutes
- \(\frac{x}{100}\)minutes
- \(\frac{\pi}{100}\)minutes
- \(\frac{\pi}{200}\)minutes
Solution: Soma covers 2πr unit in \(\frac{\pi x}{100}\)
Some covers 2r unit in \(\frac{\pi}{100}\) minute
∴ The correct answer is 3. \(\frac{\pi}{100}\)minutes
Example 3. A circle is inscribed by a square. The length of side of square is 10 cm. The length of diameter of circle is
- 10 cm
- 5 cm
- 20 cm
- 10√2 cm
Solution: Length of the side of the square

= Diameter of the circle = 10 cm
∴ The correct answer is 1. 10 cm
∴ The length of diameter of circle is 10 cm

Example 4. A circle circumscribed a square. The length of side of square is 5 cm. The length of diameter of circle is
- 5√2 cm
- 10√2 cm
- 5 cm
- 10 cm
Solution: Length of the diameter = Length of the diagonal of the square = 5√2 cm.

∴ The correct answer is 1. 5√2 cm
∴ The length of diameter of circle is 5√2 cm
Example 5. A circular ring is 5 cm wide. The difference of outer and inner radius is
- 5 cm
- 2.5 cm
- 10 cm
- None of these
Solution: difference of outer and inner radius = width of the rise = 5 cm

∴ The correct answer is 1. 5 cm
∴ The difference of outer and inner radius is 5 cm
Example 6. The radius of a semi-circular plate is 3.5 cm. It is perimeter is one of the following
- 18 cm
- 22 cm
- 11 cm
- None of these
Solution: The length of semi-circumference = πr = \(\frac{22}{7}\) x 3.5 cm = 11 cm
Length of the diameter = 2 x 3.5 cm = 7 cm

Total length of its perimeter = (11 + 7) cm = 18 cm
∴ The correct answer is 1. 18 cm
∴ perimeter of a semi-circular plate is 18 cm
Example 7. There is a path of uniform width along the inner boundary of a circular park. The outer circumference of the path is 729 m and inner circumference of the paths is 770 m. Width of the path is
- 3.5 m
- 7 m
- 7.5 m
- None of these
Solution: 2πR – 2πr = 792 -770
or, R – r = \(\frac{22 \times 7}{2 \times 22}=\) = 3.5
∴ The correct answer is 1. 3.5 m
∴ Width of a circular park path is 3.5 m
Example 8. Ratio of circum radius and inradius of a square is
- 1: √2
- √2: 1
- 1: 2
- 2: 1
Solution: Let length of the square be a unit.
Circum radius = \(\frac{1}{2}\) diagonal of a square = \(\frac{\sqrt{2 a}}{2}\) unit
in radius = \(\frac{a}{2}\) unit
∴ Ratio = \(\frac{\sqrt{2 a}}{2}\): \(\frac{a}{2}\) = √2: 1
∴ The correct answer is 2. √2: 1
∴ Ratio of circum radius and inradius of a square is √2: 1
Example 9. Length of a minute hand in 7 cm. It covers in 15 minute
- 11 cm
- 22 cm
- 1.1 cm
- 2.2 cm
Solution: In 15 minutes hand covers
= \(\frac{\frac{2 \times 22}{7} \times 7}{60} \times 15\) cm = 11 cm
∴ The correct answer is 1. 11 cm
Example 10. Perimeter of a semicircle is 36 cm. Length of its diameter is
- 14 cm
- 22 cm
- 21 cm
- None of these
Solution: πr + 2r = 36
⇒ r (π + 2) = 36
r x \(\frac{36}{7}\) = 36. ⇒ r = 7
Length of diameter = 7 x 2 cm = 14 cm
∴ The correct answer is 1. 14 cm
∴ Length of its diameter of semicircle 14 cm.
