WBBSE Class 9 Maths Mensuration Chapter 3 Area Of Circle Multiple Choice Questions
Example 1. If the area of circular field is X sq unit, the perimeter is Y unit and length of the diameter is Z unit, then the value of \(\frac{X}{YZ}\) is
- \(\frac{1}{2}\)
- \(\frac{1}{4}\)
- 1
- \(\frac{1}{8}\)
Solution: \(\frac{X}{Y Z}=\frac{\pi r^2}{2 \pi r 2 r}=\frac{1}{4}\)
∴ The correct answer is 2. \(\frac{1}{4}\)
∴ Then the value of \(\frac{X}{YZ}\) is \(\frac{1}{4}\)

Example 2. The ratio of area of two square circumscribe and inscribe by a circle is
- 4:1
- 1:4
- 2:1
- 1:2
Solution: Area of the square inscribed in a circle = 2r2

Area of the square circumscribing the circle = 4r2
Ratio = 4r2: 2r2 = 2:1
∴ The correct answer is 3. 2: 1
∴ The ratio of area of two square circumscribe and inscribe by a circle is 2: 1
Example 3. The numerical value of perimeter and area of a circular field in equal. The length of diagonal of square circumscribe by a circle is
- 4 unit
- 2 unit
- 4√2 unit
- 2√2 unit
Solution: πr2 ⇒ 2πr ⇒ r= 2 unit
∴ The correct answer is 2. 2 unit
∴ The length of diagonal of square circumscribe by a circle is 2 unit

Example 4. The ratio of the areas circumscribed and inscribed circles of an equilateral triangle is
- 4:1
- 1:4
- 2:1
- 1:2
Solution: Ratio of length of circumradius and inradius = \(\frac{2}{3}\) x height: \(\frac{1}{3}\) x height = 2:1
Ratio of areas = 22: 12 = 4:1
∴ The correct answer is 1. 4:1
∴ The ratio of the areas circumscribed and inscribed circles of an equilateral triangle is 4:1
Example 5. The inner diameter and external diameter of an iron ring plate are 20 cm, 22 cm. Area of iron plate is
- 22 sq. cm
- 44 sq. cm
- 66 sq. cm
- 88 sq. cm
Solution: Area = \(=\pi\left[\left(\frac{22}{2}\right)^2-\left(\frac{20}{2}\right)^2\right]\) sq.cm = 66 sq.cm.
∴ The correct answer is 3. 88 sq. cm
Example 6. The area of a circle is A sq. units and its circumference is C units. The value of \(\frac{\mathbf{A}}{\mathbf{C}^2}\) =
- \(\frac{1}{4 \pi}\)
- \(\frac{4}{\pi}\)
- \(\frac{\pi}{4}\)
- None of these
Solution: \(\frac{A}{C^2}=\frac{\pi r^2}{(2 \pi r)^2}=\frac{1}{4 \pi}\)
∴ The correct answer is 1. \(\frac{1}{4 \pi}\)
∴ Area of iron plate is \(\frac{1}{4 \pi}\)
Example 7. The outer and inner circumference of a ring-shaped circular plate are A unit and B unit respectively. If the width is C unit, the value of π is
- \(\frac{A – B}{C}\)
- \(\frac{A – B}{2C}\)
- \(\frac{C}{A – B}\)
- \(\frac{A – B}{7C}\)
Solution: 2π (R − r) = A − B
or, R – r = \(\frac{A – B}{2 \pi}\)
∴ π = \(\frac{A – B}{2C}\)
∴ The correct answer is 2. \(\frac{A – B}{2C}\)
∴ The value of π is \(\frac{A – B}{2C}\)
Example 8. The width of a circular ring shaped is 3.5 cm and its area is 60.5 sq. cm. The sum of inner and outer radii of the plate is
- 3.5 cm
- 4.5 cm
- 5.5 cm
- 6.5 cm
Solution: π(R + r) (R − r) = 60.5
or, \(\frac{22}{7}\)(R+r) x 3.5 = 60·5 or, R + r = 5·5
∴ The correct answer is 3. 5.5 cm
∴ The sum of inner and outer radii of the circular ring plate is 5.5 cm
Example 9. The area of a semi-circle is 77 sq. cm. The length of its diameter is
- 3.5 cm
- 7 cm
- 14 cm
- 10.5 cm
Solution: \(\frac{\pi r^2}{2}=77\)
or, r = \(\frac{77 \times 7 \times 2}{22}=7^2\)
⇒ R =7, 2R =14
∴ The correct answer is 3. 14 cm
The length of its diameter is
Example 10. The ratio of area of circumscribed and inscribed squares of a circle
- 2: 1
- 1: 2
- 4: 1
- 1: 4
Solution: Ratio = \(a^2: \frac{a^2}{2}\) = 2: 1
∴ The correct answer is 1. 2: 1
∴ Ratio of area of circumscribed and inscribed squares of a circle is 2: 1
