SSC CGL - 15 Sep 2025 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q55

A circular logo of radius 14 cm is fitted perfectly inside a square plaque. Find the area of unused square space around the circle.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 168 cm2.

Radius = 14 cm

Diameter = 28 cm

⇒ side of square = 28 cm

Area of square = 282 = 784

Area of circle = πr2

⇒ 22722\over7 × 142 = 22722\over7 × 196 = 616 cm2

Unused area = 784 − 616 = 168 cm2
