Mathematics

Assertion (A) : When the radius of a circle is increased by 3 cm, its diameter will increase by 2 x 3 cm.

Reason (R) : Original radius is r cm, original diameter 2r cm

∴ Increase in length of diameter = 2(r + 3) cm - 2r

  1. Both A and R are correct, and R is the correct explanation for A.

  2. Both A and R are correct, and R is not the correct explanation for A.

  3. A is true, but R is false.

  4. A is false, but R is true.

Answer

Original radius = r cm

Original diameter = 2r cm

New radius = (r + 3) cm

New diameter = 2(r + 3) cm

Increase in length of diameter = New diameter - Original diameter

= 2(r + 3) - 2r

= 2r + 2 x 3 - 2r

= 2 x 3

= 6 cm.

∴ Both A and R are correct, and R is the correct explanation for A.

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
