    If the radius of a circle is increased by 1 cm, its area increases by \[22\,\,c{{m}^{2}}\] then original radius of the circle is

    A)  4 cm               

    B)  3 cm

    C)  3.5 cm

    D)  5 cm

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Let the original radius = r \[\therefore \] \[Area\,A=\pi {{r}^{2}}\] Increased area \[A'=\pi {{(r+1)}^{2}}\] Now, \[A'=A+22\] \[\pi {{(r+1)}^{2}}=\pi {{r}^{2}}+22\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\pi {{[(r+1)]}^{2}}-{{r}^{2}}]=22\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\pi [(r+1+r)(r+1-r)]=22\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\pi (2r+1)=22\] \[2r+1=\frac{22\times 7}{22}\]               \[\left[ \because \,\,\,\pi =\frac{22}{7} \right]\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[2r+1=7\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[2r=6\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[r=3\,cm\]
