Question:

A smaller circle touches a bigger circle internally and also passes through the center 'O' of the bigger circle. If the area of the smaller circle is 192 cm2, the area of the bigger circle (in cm2) is:

Options:

768

384

1024

720

Correct Answer:

768

Explanation:

We know that,

Area of a circle = πr2 

We have,

The area of the smaller circle = 192 cm2

Let the radius of the smaller circle be r.

So, the radius of the bigger circle = 2r

Area of the bigger circle = π (2r)2

πr2 = 192

= 4 × πr2 = 4 × 192

= π × (2r)2 = 768 cm2
