If the length of arc ACB in the circle above is 5p, is the length of AB greater than the length of CD ?

(1) The length of AB equals the circle’s diameter.
(2) The length of CD is 5.

Note AB and CD are not necessarily chords that go through the center of the circle. (Usually the question would state AB and CD are simply chords).


Statement 1:
We don't know if AB is greater than CD or equal to CD so insufficient. We also know the radius is \(\frac{2*5*\pi }{ (2*\pi)}\) = 5, and AB = 5*2 = 10.

Statement 2:
Need to know AB, insufficient.

Combined:
Now we know AB > CD so sufficient.

Ans: C

How do we know 5p is same as 5π?

Clause A reveals that 2 * 5p = 10p is the perimeter and that diameter AB = 10p/pi, but I don’t understand how the leap was made to replace p with pi. Can someone explain this to me?

Yeah, I faced the same issue too. After crossing out both the options and considering 'E', I thought to myself, only if this given length was 5 pi, the answer could be C. It's definitely confusing.

I eventually selected E because logically I had run out of options. I suppose one can’t always “IS” one’s way through every choice 🤷🏽‍♂️ I certainly hope that the OA is reviewed soon because this might throw off some well-prepared prospective test-takers.

Bunuel,

May be p should be replaced with \(\pi\) in this question?

Good catch. Yes, you are right. Edited. Thank you.
