Q. If a circle has an area of 50π cm², what is its diameter? (2020)
A.
10 cm
B.
20 cm
C.
5 cm
D.
15 cm
Show solution
Solution
Area = πr², so r² = 50. Thus, r = √50 = 5√2 cm. Diameter = 2r = 10√2 cm ≈ 14.14 cm.
Correct Answer: A — 10 cm

Q. If a circle's radius is doubled, how does its area change? (2020)
A.
It remains the same
B.
It doubles
C.
It triples
D.
It quadruples
Show solution
Solution
Area = πr². If radius is doubled (2r), new area = π(2r)² = 4πr², which is quadruple the original area.
