Let the radii of two circles are r₁ and r₂ whose
values are 15 cm and 18 cm respectively.
i.e., r₁ = 15 cm and r₂ = 18 cm
Now, by given condition,
Circumference of circle = Circumference of first circle + Circumference of second circle
⇒ 2πr = 2π r₁ + 2πr₂ =
⇒ r = r₁ + r₂
⇒ r = 15 + 18
∴ r = 33 cm
Hence, required radius of a circle is 33 cm.

um of their circumferences = 2πr₁ + 2πr₂
= 2π (r₁ + r₂) = 2π (19 + 9) cm
= 2π x 28 = 56π cm
Let R be the radius of the circle whose circumference is the sum of the circum­ferences of given two circles, then

Question 21.
The wheel of a motor cycle is of radius 35 cm. How many revolutions per minute must the wheel make so as to keep a speed of 66 km/hr? [NCERT Exemplar]
Solution:
Given, radius of wheel, r = 35 cm
Circumference of the wheel = 2πr
= 2 x (227) x 35 = 220 cm
But speed of the wheel = 66 kmh^-1
= (66×100060) m/ mm
= 1100 x 100 cm min^-1
= 110000 cm min^-1
∴ Number of revolutions in 1 min
= (110000220)= 500 revolution
Hence, required number of revolutions per minute is 500.

Solution:
Given that, a circular park is surrounded by a road.
Width of the road = 21 m
Radius of the park (r₁) = 105 m

.’. Radius of whole circular portion (park + road),
r_e = 105 + 21 = 126 m
Now, area of road = Area of whole circular portion – Area of circular park
= πr² – πr² [∵ area of circle = πr²]

Circumference of the plot = 81 (57)m
= (5727) m
Let r be the radius of the plot, then

Question 28.
A circular pond is of diameter 17.5 m. It is surrounded by a 2 m wide path. Find the cost of constructing the path at the rate of ₹25 per square metre (Use π = 3.14) [CBSE 2014]
Solution:
Diameter of circular pond (d) = 17.5 m
Radius (r) =(17252) = 8.75 m
Width of path = 2m
∴ Radius of outer cirlce (R) = 8.75 + 2 = 10.75 m
Area of path = (R² – r²)π
= [(10.75)² – (8.75)²](3.14)
= 3.14(10.75 + 8.75) (10.75 – 8.75)
= 3.14 x 19.5 x 2 = 122.46 m²
Cost of 1 m² for constructing the path ₹25 m²
∴ Total cost = ₹ 122.46 x 25 = ₹3061.50

Outer circumference of the race track = 528 m

Question 30.
A road which is 7 m wide surrounds a circular park whose circumference is 352 m. Find the area of the road.
Solution:
Width of the road = 7 m

Circumference of the park = 352 m
Let r be the radius, then 2πr = 352

Question 31.
Prove that the area of a circular path of uniform width hsurrounding a circular region of radius r is πh(2r + h).
Solution:
Radius of inner circle = r
Width of path = h
∴ Outer radius (R) = (r + h)
∴ Area of path = πR² – πr²
= π {(r + h)² – r²}
= π {r² + h² + 2rh – r²}
= π {2rh + h²}
= πh (2r + h) Hence proved.
