4. The circumference of a circle exceeds diameter by 16.8 cm. Find the circumference of
circle.
Sol:
Let radius of circle = r cms
Diameter(d) = 2 = 2
Circumference (c) = 2r
Given circumference exceeds diameter by 16.8cm
C = d + 16.8
2r = 2r + 16.8
2r( 1)= 16.8

13. A field is in the form of circle. A fence is to be erected around the field. The cost of fencing
would to Rs. 2640 at rate of Rs.12 per metre. Then the field is to be thoroughs ploughed at
cost of Rs. 0.50 per m2. What is amount required to plough the field?
Sol:
Given
Total cost of fencing the circular field = Rs. 2640
Cost per metre fencing = Rs 12
Total cost of fencing = circumference cost per fencing
2640 = circumference 12
