    What is minimum radius (> 1) of a circle whose circumference is an integer?
    Question

    What is minimum radius (> 1) of a circle whose circumference is an integer?

    A.

    3/π

    B.

    6/π

    C.

    4/π

    D.

    2

    Correct option is C

    Given:

    Radius >1 > 1​​

    Solution:

    Circumference of the circle = 2πr2\pi r

    For an integer, the value of   r  must be an integer multiple of   1π\frac{1}{\pi}​ .

    Let r=xπ r = \frac{x}{\pi}​, where x  is a positive integer.

    But r > 1 , so:

    xπ>1\frac{x}{\pi} > 1  

    x>πx>3.14x > \pi\\x > 3.14

    For minimum  r ,  x  must be minimum.

    Since the least integer greater than π \pi​  is 4, we get:
    x = 4
    The minimum value of r = 4π\frac{4}{\pi}
