The area of a circle whose area and circumference are numerically equal, is
(a) $2 \pi$ sq. units
(b) $4 \pi$ sq. units
(c) $6 \pi$ sq. units
(d) $8 \pi$ sq. units
We have given that circumference and area of a circle are numerically equal.
Let it be x.
Let r be the radius of the circle, therefore, circumference of the circle is and area of the circle will be.
Therefore, from the given condition we have,
$2 \pi r=x \ldots \ldots \ldots(1)$
$\pi r^{2}=x$.........(2)
Therefore, from equation (1) get $r=\frac{x}{2 \pi}$. Now we will substitute this value in equation (2) we get, $\pi\left(\frac{x}{2 \pi}\right)^{2}=x$
Simplifying further we get,
$\pi \times \frac{x^{2}}{4 \pi^{2}}=x$
Cancelling x we get,
$\pi \times \frac{x}{4 \pi^{2}}=1$
Now we will cancel $\pi$
$\frac{x}{4 \pi}=1$.........(3)
Now we will multiply both sides of the equation (3) by $4 \pi$ we get,
$x=4 \pi$
Therefore, area of the circle is $4 \pi s q$.units.
Hence, option (b) is correct.
