SSC CHSL - 20th October 2020 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q69

Two concentric circles form a ring. The inner and outer circumferences of the ring are 22 cm and 44 cm, respectively. The width of the ring is: (take π = 22/7)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e 3.5 cm.

Understanding/Application

Let the radius of the inner and outer circle be r1 and r2.

Circumference of the inner circle = 22 cm 

2πr1 = 22

r1 = 3.5 cm

Circumference of the outer circle = 44 cm 

2πr2 = 44

r2 = 7 cm 

Width of the ring = r2 - r1 = 7 - 3.5 = 3.5 cm
