Trigonometric Identities Question 1

Question: The circular wire of diameter 10cm is cut and placed along the circumference of a circle of diameter 1 metre. The angle subtended by the wire at the centre of the circle is equal to

[MNR 1974]

Options:

A) $ \frac{\pi }{4}radian $

B) $ \frac{\pi }{3}radian $

C) $ \frac{\pi }{5}radian $

D) $ \frac{\pi }{10}radian $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Given, diameter of circular wire = $ 10cm $ , therefore length of wire = $ 10\pi $ . Hence required angle $ =\frac{arc}{radius}=\frac{10\pi }{50}=\frac{\pi }{5} $ radian.
