Correct answer: D
Concept: For a circle of radius r, Area = πr2 and Circumference = 2πr, since π is the fixed ratio between a circle's circumference and its diameter.
Application:
Let the radius be r. Write Area = πr2 and Circumference = 2πr.
Apply the given condition, Area = 14 × Circumference: πr2 = 14 × (2πr).
Divide both sides by πr (r ≠ 0): r = 28 units.
Substitute r = 28 into Circumference = 2πr = 2 × (22/7) × 28 = 176 units.
Cross-check: Area = πr2 = (22/7) × 282 = (22/7) × 784 = 2464 sq. units. And 14 × Circumference = 14 × 176 = 2464 sq. units, which matches the area — confirming r = 28 and Circumference = 176 units.
Result: The circumference of the circle is 176 units.
