If in two circles, arcs of the same length subtend angles 30^ and 78^ at the centre, then the ratio of their radii is
Options
- A5 13
- B13 5
- C13 4
- D4 13
Correct answer
B. 13 5
Step-by-step solution
Let the radii of the two circles be r₁ and r₂ . Let an arc of length l subtend an angle of 30^ at the centre of the circle of radius r₁ , while let an arc of length l subtend an angle of 78^ at the centre of the circle of radius r₂ . Now, 30^ = 6 radian and 78^ = 13 30 radian We know that in a circle of radius r unit, if an arc of length l unit subtend an angle radian at the centre, then = l r or l=r l= r₁ 6 and l= r₂ 13 30 r₁ 6 = r₂ 13 30 r₁=r₂ 13 5 r₁ r₂ = 13 5
