Question: Is the radius of circle Q longer than 2?
Statement 1:The circumference of circle Q is longer than 12.
If the radius of a circle is r, then the circumference of a circle, C = 2 x pi x r
According to the stmt 1, C > 12
i.e., 2 x pi x r > 12
Dividing both sides by 2 x pi, we get r > 6/pi or r > 6/3.14 or
r > 1.91082802548Since, r does not have to be an integer, it can take any value, say, 1.95 or 2.10
Therefore, this statement is not sufficient.Statement 2:AB is a chord of length 5 in circle Q.
The chord of a circle can be defined as the line segment joining any two points on the circumference of the circle. The diameter is the longest chord of a circle which passes through the center of the circle.
Therefore, the length of the diameter of circle Q is at least 5. Similarly, the length of the radius of circle Q will be at least 2.5.
This statement is sufficient.Correct answer is (B)
