Let the radii be a and b respectively

⇒ a + b = 91     ---- (1)

⇒ Difference in area = (22/7) × (a2 – b2) = 2002

⇒ a2 – b2 = 91 × 7     ---- (2)

Dividing equation 2 by equation 1 and using [a2 – b2 = (a + b) (a – b)], we get

⇒ a – b = 7     ---- (3)

By Adding equation 1 and 3, we get

⇒ 2a = 98

⇒ a = 49 cm

⇒ b = 42 cm

∴ Radii of larger circle is 49 cm
