- Imagine a circle on the corner of the rectangle.
- 3 quarters of the circle lie outside the rectangle and 1 quarter lies inside.
- Hence, Required ratio = 3 : 1

Total area of plot = 14 * 14 = 196m2
Horses can graze in quarter circle of radius = 7m
Grazed area = 4 * (pie r2)/4 = 154 m2
Area of plot when horses cannot reach = (196 - 154) = 42m2
Ungrazed area = 42 - 20 = 22m2
Horses can graze in quarter circle of radius = 7m
Grazed area = 4 * (pie r2)/4 = 154 m2
Area of plot when horses cannot reach = (196 - 154) = 42m2
Ungrazed area = 42 - 20 = 22m2

By the rule of chords, cutting externally, we get:
(9 + 6) * 6 = (5 + x) * 5
90 = 25 + 5x
5x = 65
x = 13 cm
90 = 25 + 5x
5x = 65
x = 13 cm

Option 4 : 9 : 25
Given
Ratio of volume of two spheres = 27 : 125
Formula used
surface area of sphere =4πr2
Volume of sphere = (4/3)πr3
Where r is radius respectively
Calculation
[(4/3)πR3/(4/3)πr3] = 27/125
Where R and r are radius of two sphere
⇒ R3/r3= 27/125
⇒ R = 3r/5
Surface area of 1st sphere/Surface area of 2nd sphere =[4π(3r/5)2]/4πr2
⇒ 9 : 25
∴ Ratio of surface area of two spheres is 9 : 25.

The radius of the pond is 100/2 = <100 =50="">>50 m.
The radius of the grass walkway is 50+2 = <50+2=52>>52 m.
The area of the grass walkway is pi*(52^2 - 50^2) = pi*(2704 - 2500) = pi*204
≈ 204*pi
≈ 204*3.14
≈ <204*3.14=640.56>>640.56 m^2.
So, the answer is a) 640.
The radius of the grass walkway is 50+2 = <50+2=52>>52 m.
The area of the grass walkway is pi*(52^2 - 50^2) = pi*(2704 - 2500) = pi*204
≈ 204*pi
≈ 204*3.14
≈ <204*3.14=640.56>>640.56 m^2.
So, the answer is a) 640.

We know that the internal bisector of angle of a triangle divides the opposite side internally in the ratio of the sides containing the angle.
Hence:
Hence:
In triangle ABD and ACD
Angle BAD = CAD (Given AD is the bisector)
Angle ABD = ACD (GIven)
there fore they are similar (AAA Property)
AB/BD = AC/CD
6/3 = 5/CD
CD = 2.5 cm
6/3 = 5/CD
CD = 2.5 cm
