    Question

    The perimeter of a sector of a circle, whose radius is

    15 cm, is 61 cm. If the length of a rectangle is 10 cm more than the arc subtended by the sector and its perimeter is 90 cm, then find the area (in cm2) of the rectangle.
    A 124 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 144 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 164 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 145 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the arc subtended by the sector be β€˜l’ cm and the radius of the circle be β€˜r’ cm According to the question, (l + 2r) = 61 Or, l = 61 – 2r = 61 – (2 Γ— 15) = 31 cm Therefore, length of the rectangle = 31 + 10 = 41 cm Let the breadth of the rectangle be β€˜b’ cm Therefore, 2 Γ— (41 + b) = 90 Or, b = 45 – 41 = 4 cm Therefore, area of the rectangle = length Γ— breadth = 4 Γ— 41 = 164 cm2
