    If increasing the radius of a circle by 1 unit doubles its area, then its original radius is

    A)  \[\tan \frac{\pi }{8}\]                    

    B)  \[2\tan \frac{\pi }{8}\]

    C)  \[\cot \frac{\pi }{8}\]                    

    D)  \[\frac{1}{2}\cot \frac{\pi }{8}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     \[{{A}_{0}}r_{0}^{2}=\pi ;\] Let \[r={{r}_{0}}+1\]then\[A=2{{A}_{0}}\] \[\therefore \] \[\pi {{({{r}_{0}}+1)}^{2}}=2\pi \] \[\Rightarrow \] \[r_{0}^{2}-2{{r}_{0}}-1=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{r}_{0}}=\frac{2\pm \sqrt{4+4}}{2}=1+\sqrt{2}=\cot \frac{\pi }{8}\]
