SSC CPO 2022 PYQ — Question 145

SSC CPO - 9 Nov 2022 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q145

In the given figure, the length of arc AB is equal to twice the length of radius r of the circle. Find the area of sector OAB in terms of the radius r.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. r2.

Given that

The length of arc AB (l) = 2r 

where r is a radius of a circle 

Formula used

The area of a sector of a circle = (θ/360°) × πr2 = lr/2

Where, r is the radius of the circle, 𝜃 is the angle of the sector, and l is arc length

Calculation

Area of the sector = 2r × r/2 = r2
