Problem
If the radius of a circle is increased by unit, the ratio of the new circumference to the new diameter is:
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
Solution
Let us say that the radius of a circle is . When the radius is increased by , the new radius is so the diameter is . We know that the circumference of a circle is so . Finally, the problem asked for the ratio of the new circumference to the new diameter is .
Final answer
C
