Question 1:
Find the radian measures corresponding to the following degree measures:
(i) 25° (ii) – 47° 30' (iii) 240° (iv) 520°
Answer
(i) 25°
We know that 180° = π radian

(ii) –47° 30'

–47° 30' = degree [1° = 60']

degree
Since 180° = π radian

(iii) 240°
We know that 180° = π radian

(iv) 520°
We know that 180° = π radian

Question 2:

(i) (ii) – 4 (iii) (iv)

Answer

(i)
We know that π radian = 180°

(ii) – 4

Question 3:
A wheel makes 360 revolutions in one minute. Through how many radians does it turn in
one second?
Answer
Number of revolutions made by the wheel in 1 minute = 360

∴Number of revolutions made by the wheel in 1 second =

In one complete revolution, the wheel turns an angle of 2π radian.
Hence, in 6 complete revolutions, it will turn an angle of 6 × 2π radian, i.e.,
12 π radian
Thus, in one second, the wheel turns an angle of 12π radian.

Question 4:
Find the degree measure of the angle subtended at the centre of a circle of radius 100

cm by an arc of length 22 cm .
Answer
We know that in a circle of radius r unit, if an arc of length l unit subtends an angle θ
radian at the centre, then

Therefore, forr = 100 cm, l = 22 cm, we have

Thus, the required angle is 12°36′.

Question 5:
In a circle of diameter 40 cm, the length of a chord is 20 cm. Find the length of minor
arc of the chord.
Answer
Diameter of the circle = 40 cm

∴Radius (r) of the circle =

Let AB be a chord (length = 20 cm) of the circle.

In ∆OAB, OA = OB = Radius of circle = 20 cm

Also, AB = 20 cm
Thus, ∆OAB is an equilateral triangle.

∴θ = 60° =
We know that in a circle of radius r unit, if an arc of length l unit subtends an angle θ

radian at the centre, then .

Thus, the length of the minor arc of the chord is .

Question 6:
If in two circles, arcs of the same length subtend angles 60° and 75° at the centre, find
the ratio of their radii.
Answer

Class XI Maths www.esaral.com 4

 JEE | NEET | CLASS 8 - 10 Download eSaral APP

Let the radii of the two circles be and . Let an arc of length l subtend an angle of 60°
at the centre of the circle of radius r1, while let an arc of length l subtend an angle of 75°
at the centre of the circle of radius r2.

Now, 60° = and 75° =

We know that in a circle of radius r unit, if an arc of length l unit subtends an angle θ

radian at the centre, then .

Thus, the ratio of the radii is 5:4.

Question 7:
Find the angle in radian though which a pendulum swings if its length is 75 cm and the
tip describes an arc of length
(i) 10 cm (ii) 15 cm (iii) 21 cm
Answer
We know that in a circle of radius r unit, if an arc of length l unit subtends an angle θ

radian at the centre, then .

It is given that r = 75 cm
(i) Here, l = 10 cm

(ii) Here, l = 15 cm

(iii) Here, l = 21 cm
