SSC CPO 2024 PYQ — Question 107

SSC CPO - 29 June 2024 Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q107

What is the area of the sector of a circle whose radius is 35 cm and whose arc subtends an angle of 72° at the centre of the circle?

(π = 22722\over7)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 770 cm2.

Given that, radius of sector = 35 cm

Angle subtended by arc, θ\theta = 72°

Area of sector = θ3600×πr2{\theta \over 360^0} \times {\pi r ^2}

According to the given question,

Area of sector = 7203600×227×352{72^0 \over 360^0} \times {{22 \over 7} \times 35 ^2}

⇒ 15×227×35×35{1 \over 5} \times {{22 \over 7} \times 35 \times 35}

⇒ 22 × 35 = 770

Hence the area of the given sector is 770 cm2.
