Correct answer: C
Step-by-Step Solution
Let the original radius of the circle be R.
Original Circumference (C1) = 2πR
Original Area (A1) = πR²
The circumference is reduced by 50%, so the new circumference (C2) is:
C2 = C1 - 50% of C1 = 0.5 × C1
Since C = 2πr, if the circumference is halved, the radius must also be halved.
New Radius (R2) = 0.5R
Now, calculate the new area (A2):
A2 = π(R2)² = π(0.5R)² = π(0.25R²) = 0.25 × πR²
A2 = 0.25 × A1
The new area is 25% of the original area.
Percentage Reduction in Area = Original Area - New Area
Reduction = A1 - 0.25A1 = 0.75A1
Percentage Reduction = (0.75A1 / A1) × 100% = 75%
हिन्दी उत्तर:
माना वृत्त की मूल त्रिज्या R है।
मूल परिधि (C1) = 2πR
मूल क्षेत्रफल (A1) = πR²
परिधि में 50% की कमी आती है, इसलिए नई परिधि (C2) होगी:
C2 = C1 - 50% of C1 = 0.5 × C1
चूँकि परिधि त्रिज्या के समानुपाती होती है, यदि परिधि आधी हो जाती है, तो त्रिज्या भी आधी हो जाएगी।
नई त्रिज्या (R2) = 0.5R
अब, नया क्षेत्रफल (A2) ज्ञात करें:
A2 = π(R2)² = π(0.5R)² = π(0.25R²) = 0.25 × πR²
A2 = 0.25 × A1
नया क्षेत्रफल मूल क्षेत्रफल का 25% है।
क्षेत्रफल में प्रतिशत कमी = मूल क्षेत्रफल - नया क्षेत्रफल
कमी = A1 - 0.25A1 = 0.75A1
प्रतिशत कमी = (0.75A1 / A1) × 100% = 75%
