A circular cloth with a diameter of 20 inches is placed on a circular tray with a diameter of 24 inches. What fraction of the tray's surface is NOT covered by the cloth?
A. 1/6
B. 1/5
C. 11/36
D. 25/36
E. 5/6
A. 1/6
B. 1/5
C. 11/36
D. 25/36
E. 5/6
I have a silly question but I need some clarification why does it have to be the ratio of the area's and not circumference?

The questions asks us to find the surface which is not covered by the cloth i.e., area of the surface not covered.
Where as circumference is the length along the edge of the circle,
2*pi*r implies the length of the curve
pi*r^2 implies area enclosed by that curve..hence Area of the circle is considered for this problem
Area of the tray=pi* r^2, where r=12
=>pi*144
Area of the cloth=pi*100
Surface not covered by the cloth=pi*144-pi*100=Pi*44
fraction of trays surface is not covered by a cloth= Pi*44/total area of the tray
=>Pi*44/Pi*144
=>11/36
Hope its clear

Let the Radius of Circular tray be = \(R\)
Given diameter of Circular tray = \(24\) inches
Therefore Radius = \(12\)
Area of Circular tray \(= \pi R^2 => \pi (12^2) => 144\pi\)
Let the Radius of Circular cloth be = \(r\)
Given diameter of Circular cloth = \(20\) inches
Therefore Radius \(= 10\)
Area of Circular cloth \(= \pi r^2 => \pi (10^2) => 100\pi\)
Area of Tray's surface not covered \(=\) Area of Circular tray \(-\) Area of Circular cloth \(=> \pi\)\(R^2 -\)\(\pi\)\(r^2\)
\(144\pi - 100\pi\) \(=> \pi (144-100)\) \(=> 44\pi\)
Required fraction = Area of Tray's surface not covered / Total Area of Tray \(=> \frac{44\pi}{144\pi} => \frac{11}{36}\)
Answer (C)...
