Solution

The correct option is A 52.5 cm, 31.5 cm
Let the two radii be r1 and r2
Given,
r1+r2=84 and
πr21πr22=5544
Now,
r1+r2=84
=>r1=84r2 (i)
Again,
πr21πr22=5544
Using (i), we get,
=>π(84r2)2πr22=5544
=>π[(84)22(84)r2+r22]πr22=5544
=>7056π168r2π5544=0
=>42πr2π33=0
=>42(3.14)3.14r233=0
=>98.883.14r2=0
=>r2=98.883.14
=31.49
31.5
Therefore,
Putting the value of r2in (i), we get,
r1=8431.5
=52.5
Thus,
the radii are 52.5 and 31.5
