    Question

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

    25 cm, is 66 cm. If the length of a rectangle is 10 cm more than the arc subtended by the sector and its perimeter is 84 cm, then find the area (in cm2) of the rectangle.
    A 400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 415 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 416 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 426 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) = 66 Or, l = 66 – 2r = 66 – (2 Γ— 25) = 16 cm Therefore, length of the rectangle = 16 + 10 = 26 cm Let the breadth of the rectangle be β€˜b’ cm Therefore, 2 Γ— (26 + b) = 84 Or, b = 42 – 26 = 16 cm Therefore, area of the rectangle = length Γ— breadth = 26 Γ— 16 = 416 cm2
