What is the diameter of a circle of area 77cm2 [Take π=227]

A.

27cm

B.

312cm

C.

7cm

D.

72cm

Correct answer is D

A=\pi r^2 \Rightarrow 77 = \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{r^2}{1}\Rightarrow r^2 = \frac{77\times 7}{22} \Rightarrow r^2 = \frac{49}{2}\\ \Rightarrow r = \sqrt{\frac{49}{2}}=\frac{7}{\sqrt{2}}. Since D = 2r ∴ D = 2 \times \frac{7}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{14}{\sqrt{2}} \times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}} = 7\sqrt{2}cm
