13

Explanation

JEE Main 2019 (Online) 10th January Evening Slot Mathematics - Circle Question 124 English Explanation
$$3\left( {{1 \over 2}{r^2}.\sin {{120}^o}} \right) = 27\sqrt 3 $$

$${{{r^2}} \over 2}{{\sqrt 3 } \over 2} = {{27\sqrt 3 } \over 3}$$

$${r^2} = {{108} \over 3} = 36$$

Radius   $$ = \sqrt {25 + 36 - C} = \sqrt {36} $$

$$C = 25$$
