Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
\(A=\pi r^2 \Rightarrow 77 = \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{r^2}{1}\Rightarrow r^2 = \frac{77\times 7}{22} \Rightarrow r^2 = \frac{49}{2}\\
\Rightarrow r = \sqrt{\frac{49}{2}}=\frac{7}{\sqrt{2}}. Since D = 2r ∴ D = 2 \times \frac{7}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{14}{\sqrt{2}} \times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}} = 7\sqrt{2}cm\)
