  2. False

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Area R = πr², S = πs², T = πt². Given R=2S, then πr²=2πs² => r=s√2. Given S=2T, then πs²=2πt² => s=t√2. Substituting s: r = (t√2)√2 = 2t. Thus, r = 2t. The statement 'Col A is not equal to Col B' is False because they are equal.

  2. 3/8th of the White Strip in the Flag

  3. 1/2 of the White Strip in the Flag

  4. No restrictions on radius

B Correct answer
Explanation

The Ashoka Chakra's radius is exactly 3/8th of the width of the white strip in the Indian flag, as specified in the Flag Code of India. This proportion ensures the chakra is centered and appropriately sized within the white band.

  1. ½ base x height

  2. 2?r (2 pie r)

  3. x+y

  4. ?r2 (pie r square)

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The area of a circle is calculated using the formula A = πr², where π (pi) is approximately 3.14159 and r is the radius of the circle. Option B '2πr' gives the circumference, not area. Option A '½ base × height' is for triangles. Option C 'x + y' is a simple algebraic expression with no geometric meaning. The area formula πr² is fundamental to geometry.

  2. 2 pi squared

  3. 2 pi r

  4. Pi r squared

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The area of a circle is πr², where r is the radius. Option D 'Pi r squared' correctly expresses this formula. Options A and B don't include the radius variable properly, and option C (2πr) is actually the formula for circumference, not area. The area formula can be derived by dividing a circle into infinitesimal sectors and rearranging them into a rectangle.

  1. 0.36 %

  2. 3.60 %

  3. 6 %

  4. 12.36 %

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

When the radius increases by 6%, the new radius becomes 1.06r. Area is proportional to the square of the radius (A = πr²), so the new area becomes π(1.06r)² = 1.1236πr². This represents a 12.36% increase over the original area. The percentage increase is calculated as (1.06² - 1) × 100 = 12.36%. This demonstrates how small percentage changes in radius compound when applied to area.

  4. xi

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Pi is the correct answer - it is the mathematical constant representing the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, approximately equal to 3.14159. The golden ratio is a different constant (about 1.618), while nu and xi are other Greek letters with no connection to this ratio.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

For a square of side 6cm, the inscribed circle has diameter 6cm (radius 3cm). Circle area = πr² = 9π. Square area = 6² = 36. The ratio is 9π/36 = π/4 ≈ 0.785. Among options, 11/14 ≈ 0.786 is the closest approximation to π/4.

  1. 220 / 7 sq cm

  2. 200 sq cm

  3. 100 sq cm

  4. 70 sq cm

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The largest square inside a circle has its diagonal equal to the circle's diameter. For radius 10 cm, diameter = 20 cm. If diagonal = 20, then side = diagonal/√2 = 20/√2 = 10√2. Area = side² = (10√2)² = 200 sq cm. The claimed answer B is correct. Option C (100) would be if side = 10, but the diagonal constraint makes the square larger.

  1. 145 SQ M

  2. 154 SQ m

  3. 1098 SQ M

  4. 154 SQ CM

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The largest circle inside a square has its diameter equal to the square's side. For side 14 m, diameter = 14 m, so radius = 7 m. Area = πr² = π × 7² = π × 49 = 154 sq m (using π ≈ 22/7). The claimed answer B is correct. Option D has the right number but wrong units (cm instead of m).

Multiple choice general knowledge
  1. x^2

  2. 10

  3. x+1

  4. 2x-8

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The circle's diameter is x - 6, and this diameter must be less than 3 (and positive). So 0 < x - 6 < 3, meaning 6 < x < 9. Only x = 8 satisfies this condition and is among the options (2x-8 = 8 when x = 8). x^2 gives values 36-81, 10 is outside the range, and x+1 cannot equal x.

  3. x+1

  4. 2x-8

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The diameter is (x-6) and must be less than 3, so x < 9. Setting x = 2x-8 gives x = 8, making the diameter 2, which satisfies the condition. Option A (x = x² gives x = 0 or 1) leads to negative diameters, option B (x = 10) gives diameter 4 > 3, and option C (x = x+1) is impossible.
