Solution

The correct option is B 14
Let the radius of the circles be r1 and r2 respectively.
Area of a circle of radius r =πr2
Given, r1+r2=28
Also, πr12+πr22=490π
=>r12+r22=490
=>(r1+r2)22r1r2=490
=>(28)22r1r2=490
=>7842r1r2=490
=>2r1r2=294
Now, (r1r2)2=r12+r222r1r2
=>(r1r2)2=490294
=>(r1r2)2=196
=>(r1r2)=14 cm
