In the following diagram, the point R is the center of the circle. The lines PQ and ZV are tangential to the circle. The relation among the areas of the squares, PXWR, RUVZ and SPQT is

Previously Asked in : Gate CE-forenoon season 2022 ||

Area of PXWR = Area of RUVZ – Area of SPQT

Area of PXWR = Area of SPQT – Area of RUVZ

Area of SPQT = Area of PXWR – Area of RUVZ

Area of SPQT = Area of RUVZ = Area of PXWR

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option Area of SPQT = Area of PXWR – Area of RUVZ is correct

Detailed Explanation

From \triangledown \; PQR by Pythagoras theorem,

\Rightarrow {PR}^2 = {PQ}^2 + {QR}^2

Also, QR = RZ ,

\Rightarrow {PR}^2 = {PQ}^2 + {RZ}^2

\Rightarrow \text {Area \, of \,} PXWR = \text {Area \,of \,} SPQT +\text{ Area \,of \,} RUVZ

\Rightarrow \text {Area \, of \,} SPQT = \text {Area \, of \, } PXWR \,- \,\text {Area\, of\,} RUVZ

Correct option is : Area of SPQT = Area of PXWR – Area of RUVZ
