Question: What is the area of the circle C?<br>Statement I: An arc of length 7 cm subtends an angle 30^{\circ} at the centre of C.<br>Statement II: A chord of length 10 cm subtends an angle 90^{\circ} at the centre of C.

For the next ten (10) items that follow:<br>Each item contains a Question followed by two Statements. Answer each item using the following instructions:

  1. A. Choose this option if the Question can be answered by one of the Statements alone but not by the other.
  2. B. Choose this option if the Question can be answered by either Statement alone.
  3. C. Choose this option if the Question can be answered by using both the Statements together, but cannot be answered by using either Statement alone.
  4. D. Choose this option if the Question cannot be answered even by using both Statements together.

Correct Answer: B. Choose this option if the Question can be answered by either Statement alone.

Explanation

Statement I gives r \times (\pi/6) = 7, easily giving r and the area. Statement II gives a right-angled triangle formed by the chord and two radii, so r^2+r^2=10^2 \implies 2r^2=100, leading directly to area. Either statement alone is sufficient.
