    • Question

      A rhombus has an area of 2,592 cm² and its diagonals are

      in the ratio 5:3. A circle is drawn with the shorter diagonal of the rhombus as its diameter. Calculate the difference between the area of the circle and 75% of the rhombus’s area. (Take π = 3)
      A 480.8 cm² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 580.4 cm² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 310.2 cm² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 391.2 cm² Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let diagonals = 5x and 3x

      (1/2) × 5x × 3x = 7.5x²

      2592 = 7.5x² → x² = 345.6 → x = √345.6 ≈ 18.59

      Smaller diagonal = 3x ≈ 55.77 cm

      Radius ≈ 27.89 cm

      Area of circle ≈ 3 × (27.89)² ≈ 3 × 778.4 ≈ 2335.2 cm²

      75% of rhombus = 0.75 × 2592 = 1944 cm²

      Difference ≈ 2335.2 - 1944 = 391.2 cm²
