Correct Answer: 15
Solution :
The angle subtended by an arc at the centre = $84^\circ$
Length of given arc = 22 cm
Let the radius of the circle be $r$.
We know, length of arc = $\frac{\theta}{360^\circ}\times 2\pi r$
As per given condition,
$\frac{84^\circ}{360^\circ}\times 2 \pi r = 22$
⇒ $\frac{84}{360}\times 2 \times \frac{22}{7}×r = 22$
⇒ $r= \frac{360\times 7}{2\times 84}=15$ cm
Hence, the correct answer is 15.
