Correct Answer: $45\;\mathrm{cm}$
Solution : The length of an arc $(L)$ in a circle, $L = 2 \pi r \left(\frac{\theta}{360^\circ}\right)$ where $r$ is the radius of the circle and $θ$ is the angle subtended by the arc at the centre of the circle in degrees. Given that $L = 33 \pi\;\mathrm{cm}$ and $θ = 132^\circ$, So, $33\pi = 2 \pi r \left(\frac{132^\circ}{360^\circ}\right)$ $⇒r = 33 \times \frac{360^\circ}{132^\circ \times 2} = 45 \text{ cm}$ Hence, the correct answer is $45 \text{ cm}$.
