Two circles of equal radii are drawn, without any overlap, in a semicircle of diameter 4 cm. If these are the largest possible such circles that the semicircle can accommodate, then the radius (in cm.) of each circle is :

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`OC=2-r`
`sqrt2r=2-r`
`(sqrt2+1)r=2`
`r=2/2,41=0.828cm`
option b is correct.
