Correct Answer: 42


Solution : Given, Area = 346.5 cm$^2$
Angle ($\theta$) = 22.5°
Let $r$ be the radius.
Area $=\frac{\theta}{360°}\times \pi r^2$
⇒ $346.5=\frac{22.5°}{360°}\times \frac{22}{7}\times r^2$
⇒ $\frac{346.5\times360\times7}{22.5\times 22}=r^2$
⇒ $r^2 = \frac{873180}{495}$
⇒ $r^2=1764$
⇒ $r=\sqrt{1764}$
⇒ $r$ = 42 cm
Hence, the correct answer is 42.
