If the sum of the areas of two circles with radii R1 and R2 is equal to the area of a circle of radius R, then
(A) R1 + R2 =R (B) R12 + R22=R2 (C) R1 + R2 <R (D)R12 + R22<R2
(B) R12 + R22=R2
Solution
Radius of first circle= R1
Area of first circle =πR12
Radius of second circle =R2
Area of second circle =πR22
Radius of third circle = R
Area of third circle=πR2
According to question
πR12 + πR22=πR2
π(R12 + R22)=πR2
R12 + R22=R2
Hence option B is correct.
