Questions and Answers

Q 1 - The aggregate territory of 64 little square of a chessboard is 400 cm2. There is 3cm wide fringe around the chess board. What is the Length of every side of the chessboard?

A - 17 cm

B - 20 cm

C - 23 cm

D - 26 cm

Answer : D

Explanation

Length of each side of the chess board excluding path=√400=20cm.
Length of each side = (20+3+3) = 26cm

Q 2 - The aggregate expense of deck a room at rs.8.50 per square meter is Rs. 510. In the event that the length of the room is 8m, its expansiveness is:

A - 7.5 m

B - 8.5 m

C - 10.5 m

D - 12.5 m

Answer : A

Explanation

Area = total cost/rate =(510/8.50)m2= (510*2/17)m2= 60m2
Area =60m2, Length= 8m
Breadth =Area/ Length = 60/8m =7.5 m

Q 3 - The length of a rectangular plot is expanded by 25%. To keep its region unaltered, the width of the plot ought to be:

A - kept unaltered

B - expanded by 25%

C - expanded by 20%

D - Diminished by 20%

Answer : D

Explanation

Let the length be x meter and breadth be y mtr.
Then, its area = (xy) m2
New length = (125/100*x) m = (5x/4) m. let the new breadth be z meters.
Then, xy = 5x/4*z ⇒z= 4/5 y
Decrease in width = (y-4/5y) = y/5 mtr.
Decrease % in width = (y/5*1/y*100) % = 20%

Q 4 - A rectangle has 15cm as its length and 150cm2 as its area. Its territory is expanded to 4/3 times the first region by expanding just its length. Its new border is:

A - 50 cm

B - 60 cm

C - 70 cm

D - 80 cm

Answer : B

Explanation

Length = 15cm, area = 150cm2.
Breadth = 150/15 cm = 10cm
New length = 200/10 cm = 20cm
New perimeter = 2(20+10) cm = 60 cm

Q 5 - The area of the largest circle that can be drawn insight rectangle with sides 8m by 7m is:

A - 352m2/7

B - 77/2m2

C - 32m2

D - 49m2

Answer : B

Explanation

Radius of the circle= 7/2 m
Area of the circle = (22/7 *7/2 *7/2) m2 =77/2m2

Q 6 - Each side of an equilateral triangle measures 8 cm. Its area is:

A - 64 cm2

B - 16√3cm2

C - 4√3cm2

D - 21.3 cm2

Answer : B

Explanation

Area =( √3/4*8*8 ) cm2 = 16√3 cm2

Q 7 - On expanding every side of an equilateral triangle by 2cm, there is an increment of 2√3 cm2 in its zone. The length of every side of the Triangle is:

A - 1cm

B - √3 cm

C - 3cm

D - (2+√3) cm

Answer : A

Explanation

Let each side of the triangle be x cm. then, area = (√3/4) x2 cm2
∴ √3/4 (x+2)2- √3/4 x2= 2√3 ⇒√3/4{(x+2)2- x2} =2√3
⇒ √3/4* 4(x+1) = 2√3 ⇒ x+1= 2 ⇒x= 1

Q 8 - The stature of an equilateral triangle is √6cm. Its range is:

A - 3√3 cm2

B - 2√3 cm2

C - 2√2 cm2

D - 6√2 cm2

Answer : B

Explanation

Let the base be A cm , Then,
1/2 *a* √6= (√3/4) a2⇒      a= 1/2 *√6* 4/√3= 2√2
Area of the triangle = {(√3/4* (2√2) 2} cm2 = (√3/4*8) cm2
= 2√3cm2

Q 9 - Each side of an equilateral triangle is equivalent to the span of a circle whose region is 154 cm2. The range of the equilateral triangle is:

A - 7√3/4 cm2

B - 49√3/4 cm2

C - 35 cm2

D - 49cm2

Answer : B

Explanation

Let each side of the equilateral triangle be a cm and radius of the circle is r cm.  Then , a =r
πr2 =154 ⇒22/7 *r2=154⇒ r 2= (154*7/22) = 49 ⇒r= 7
∴ a = 7cm ⇒ area of ∆ = √ 3/4 *(7)2 cm2=49√3/4 cm2

Q 10 - The region of a circle is 24.64m2. The circuit of the circle is:

A - 14.64m

B - 16.36m

C - 17.60m

D - 18.40m

Answer : C

Explanation

πR2=24.64
⇒R2= (24.64*7/22)=(1.12*7)=7.84⇒R=√7.84=2.8
Circumference= 2πR= (2*22/7*2.8) m =17.60 m
