Right Answer:
The probability that the stone lies near the center of the circle depends on how you define "near." If you specify a smaller circle with radius ( r_1 < r ) around the center, the probability is the area of the smaller circle divided by the area of the larger circle:
[ P = frac{pi r_1^2}{pi r^2} = frac{r_1^2}{r^2} ]
Without a specific definition of "near," the probability cannot be determined.
