Looking at the data given and thinking graphically, I think we can draw only one circle which would satisfy these data. So there should be some way of finding the radius based on the data given alone. However, I dont think this question is in the scope of GMAT or maybe even Indian CAT for that matter.

https://www.handymath.com/cgi-bin/arc18.cgi

From the above link it's evident that the radius can be calculated to be around 5.88. Although the working method to finding it would probably be tedious and out of the scope of GMAT

I'm looking for a solution just from the given information.

I've thought in this way : for 2 units of upper radius , 5 units [or 10 unit] of upper circumference goes. Problem is this relation won't work for the lower portions of radius and circumference. .............Isn't it possible to make/create any kind of relation in between ? .......anything logical?

instead of the partial value of circumference [ here 5 units], if the value of ''--------'' portion is given as 5 units, it would be easy to get the radius.

look, here is just given two variables...............
