SSC CGL - 17 July 2023 - Shift 4 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q55

The area of the sector of a circle of radius 12 cm is 32 π cm². Find the length of the corresponding arc of the sector.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 163\frac{16}{3}π cm.

Given that

The area of the sector of a circle of radius (r = 12 cm) is 32 π cm²

Formula used

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

Arc of the sector = rθ × (π/180°)

Calculation

⇒ 32 π = (θ/360°) × πr2

⇒ 32 = (θ/360°) × 122

⇒ θ/360° = 32/144

⇒ θ = 80º

Hence, the arc of the sector = 12 × 80 × (π/180) =  163\frac{16}{3}π cm
