The circumferences of two circles are 264 meters and 352 meters. Find the difference between the areas of the larger and the smaller circles?
Select the correct option.
A) 2898 sq m  B) 1788 sq m  C) 4312 sq m  D) 7656 sq m  E) 1786 sq m

Rationale: let the radii of the smaller and the larger circles be s m and l m respectively . 2 ∏ s = 264 and 2 ∏ l = 352 s = 264 / 2 ∏ and l = 352 / 2 ∏ difference between the areas = ∏ l 2 - ∏ s 2 = ∏ { 1762 / ∏ 2 - 1322 / ∏ 2 } = 1762 / ∏ - 1322 / ∏ = ( 176 - 132 ) ( 176 + 132 ) / ∏ = ( 44 ) ( 308 ) / ( 22 / 7 ) = ( 2 ) ( 308 ) ( 7 ) = 4312 sq m answer : c
