Value of a coin V is directly proportional to thickness, & inversely proportional to its Area.
V = K * (T/Area)
T = Thickness of the coin.
Area of a coin = Pi * r^2 , where r is the radius.
V = K*T / ( pi*r^2)
given that: r =10mm and t = 1 mm.
Statement 1:
Value of a coin with radius 5 mm and thickness 2mm is $1.
1 = K*2 / (pi*5*5)
K = (25*pi)/2
For, r =10mm and t = 1 mm.
V = K* 1 / (pi*10*10)
Substitute K = (25*pi)/2 in the above equation, we get
V = (1/8)
Hence,
Sufficient Statement 2:
Value of a coin with radius 2.5 mm and thickness 1 mm is $8.
8 = (k*1)/(pi*2.5*2.5)
k = 8*pi*2.5*2.5
For, r =10mm and t = 1 mm.
V = K* 1 / (pi*10*10)
Substitute K in the above equation, we get
V = (1/2).
Hence,
Sufficient Option D
