Answer 1

We know that circumference; C of the circle with radius r is equal to`2pir`.

We have given difference between circumference and radius of the circle that is 37 cm.

`∴ C-r=2pir-r`

`∴(2pi-1)r=37`

Substituting `pi=22/7 ` we get,

`∴ (2xx22/7-1)r=37`

`∴ ((44-7)/7)r=37`

`∴(37/7)r=37`

Dividing both sides of the equation by 7/37, we get,  `∴r=7`

Therefore, circumference of the circle will be

\[2\pi r = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7\]

\[ = 44 {cm}^2\]

Hence, the correct choice is (b).
