-
A.
70o
-
B.
60o
-
C.
55o
-
D.
42o
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
Perimeter of a sector
= 2r + \(\frac{\theta}{360^o}\) x 2 x \(\frac{22}{7}\) x 21
64 = 2 x 21 + \(\frac{\theta}{360^o}\) x 2 x \(\frac{22}{7}\) x 21
64 = 42 + \(\frac{\theta}{360^o}\) x 44 x 3
64 - 42 = \(\frac{\theta}{360^o}\) x 11 x 3
22 = \(\frac{33\theta}{90}\)
\(\theta = \frac{22 \times 30}{11}\)
= 60o
