Question:

The circumference of the two circles is 308 cm and 440 cm respectively. What is the difference between their radii?

Options:

21 cm

49 cm

35 cm

14 cm

Correct Answer:

21 cm

Explanation:

We know that,

Circumference of the circle = 2πr

Now, according to the question,

= 308 = 2 × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × r1

= r= 49 cm

Also,

440 = 2 × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × r2

= r2 = 70 cm

Difference between the radius and the circle = r2 - r1 = 70 - 49 = 21 cm
