Question Detail

A courtyard is 25 meter long and 16 meter board is to be paved with bricks of dimensions 20 cm by 10 cm. The total number of bricks required is :

16000
18000
20000
22000

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\text{Number of bricks =}\frac{\text{Courtyard area}}{\text{1 brick area}} \\
= \left( \frac{2500 \times 1600}{20 \times 10} \right) \\
= 20000
\end{aligned}

1. The sides of a triangle are in the ratio of \begin{aligned}\frac{1}{2}:\frac{1}{3}:\frac{1}{4}\end{aligned}. If the perimeter is 52 cm, then find the length of the smallest side.

12 cm
14 cm
16 cm
18 cm

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\text{Ratio of sides =}\frac{1}{2}:\frac{1}{3}:\frac{1}{4} \\
=6:4:3\\
Perimeter = 52 cm \\
\text{So sides are =} \\
\left( 52*\frac{6}{13}\right)cm,\left( 52*\frac{4}{13}\right)cm, \left( 52*\frac{3}{13}\right)cm
\end{aligned}
a = 24 cm, b = 16 cm and c = 12 cm
Length of the smallest side = 12 cm

2. A towel, when bleached, was found to have lost 20% of its length and 10% of its breadth. The percentage of decrease in area is ?

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let original length = x
and original width = y
Decrease in area will be
\begin{aligned}
= xy-\left( \frac{80x}{100}\times\frac{90y}{100}\right) \\
= \left(xy- \frac{18}{25}xy\right) \\
= \frac{7}{25}xy \\
\text{Decrease = }\left(\frac{7xy}{25xy} \times100\right) \% \\
= 28\%
\end{aligned}

3. The area of incircle of an equilateral triangle of side 42 cm is :

\begin{aligned} 462 cm^2 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 452 cm^2 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 442 cm^2 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 432 cm^2 \end{aligned}

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\text{Radius of incircle} = \frac{a}{2\sqrt3} \\
= \frac{42}{2\sqrt3} \\
= 7\sqrt{3} \\
\text{Area of incircle =} \\
\frac{22}{7}*49*3 = 462 cm^2
\end{aligned}

4. One side of rectangular field is 15 meter and one of its diagonals is 17 meter. Then find the area of the field.

\begin{aligned} 120m^2 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 130m^2 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 140m^2 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 150m^2 \end{aligned}

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\text{We know }h^2 = b^2+h^2 \\
=>\text{Other side }= \sqrt{(17)^2-(15)^2} \\
= \sqrt{289-225} = \sqrt{64} \\
= 8 meter \\
Area = Length \times Breadth \\
= 15\times8 m^2 = 120 m^2

\end{aligned}

5. 50 square stone slabs of equal size were needed to cover a floor area of 72 sq.m. Find the length of each stone slab.

110 cm
116 cm
118 cm
120 cm

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Area of each slab =
\begin{aligned}
\frac{72}{50}m^2 = 1.44 m^2\\
\text{Length of each slab =}\sqrt{1.44} \\
= 1.2m = 120 cm

\end{aligned}
