The Total solution for NCERT class 6-12
Let the radius of a circle be r.Circumference of a circle = 2╧АrLet the radii of two circles are r1┬аandr2┬аwhosevalues are 15 cm and 18 cm respectively.i.e., r1┬а= 15 cmand r2┬а= 18 cmNow, by given condition,Circumference of circle = Circumference of first circle + Circumference of secondcircleтЗТ┬а┬а2╧Аr = 2╧А r1┬а+ 2╧Аr2┬а=тЗТ┬аr = r1┬а+ r2тЗТ┬а┬аr = 15 + 18тИ┤ r = 33cmHence, required radius of a circle is 33 cm.
