    The area of a circle is increased by 22 cm, its radius is increased by 1 cm. The original radius of the circle is

    A) 6 cm    

    B)  3.2 cm  

    C)  3 cm   

    D)  3.5 cm

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let the original radius be r cm. According to the question, \[\pi \,\,{{(r+1)}^{2}}-\pi {{r}^{2}}=22\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\pi \,\,({{r}^{2}}+2\,r+1-{{r}^{2}})=22\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[(2\,r+1)\times \frac{22}{7}=22\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[2\,r+1=\frac{22\times 7}{22}=7\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[2\,r=7-1=6\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[r=\frac{6}{2}=3\,\,\text{cm}\]
