Q.

Assertion (A): Two circles touch internally. The sum of their areas is 116π cm2 and the distance between their centres is 6 cm. Then, radii of the circles are 4 cm and 10 cm.

Reason (R): When two circles touch internally, then difference of their radii is equal to distance between their centres.

1 Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.  
2 Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A  
3 A is true, but R is false.  
4 A is false, but R is true.  

Ans.

(1)

Let two circles having centres O1,O2 and radii r1,r2 touch internally at point .

Sum of their areas=116π cm2πr12+πr22=116πr12+r22=116...(i)Also,r1-r2=6...(ii)The values r1=10 cm and r2=4 cm satisfy both equations(i)and(ii).

∴ Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
