Let a circle be obtained on rolling the circle upwards units on the tangent to it at the point . Let be the image of in . Let and be the centers of circles and respectively, and and be respectively the feet of perpendiculars drawn from and on the -axis. Then the area of the trapezium AMNB is:
- A
- Correct answerB
- C
- D
Solution
We have,
Centre
Radius units
Equation of tangent at is
On rolling the given circle upward units on the tangent , centre of the circle also moving unit upward, so

Centre of is
Centre of is
So, and .
area of trapezium
sq. units
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
