Question:The circumference of two concentric circles forming a ring are 88 cm and 66 cm respectively. The width of the ring is :
A `3.5 cm`
B `10.5 cm`
C `7 cm`
D `14 cm`
/98
+ Answer
A
+ ExplanationLet, inner radius = r & outer radius = R cm.
Then,` 2 xx 22/7 xx R = 88 => R`
`= (88 xx 7/44)`
`= 14 cm.`
` 2 xx 22/7 xx r = 66 => r`
`= (66 xx 7/44)`
`= 21/2 cm`
`= 10.5 cm.`
:. width of the ring
`= (14 - 10.5) cm`
`= 3.5 cm.`
