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 Diagonals of two squares are in the ratio of 2:5. find the ratio of their areas.

4:25
4:15
3:25
3:15

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let the diagonals of the squares be 2x and 5x.
Then ratio of their areas will be
\begin{aligned}
\text{Area of square} = \frac{1}{2}*{Diagonal}^2 \\
\frac{1}{2}*{2x}^2:\frac{1}{2}*{5x}^2 \\
4x^2:25x^2 = 4:25
\end{aligned}

2. The area of a square is 69696 cm square. What will be its diagonal ?

373.196 cm
373.110 cm
373.290 cm
373.296 cm

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

If area is given then we can easily find side of a square as,
\begin{aligned}Side = \sqrt{69696} \\
= 264 cm \\
\text{we know diagonal =}\sqrt{2}\times side \\
= \sqrt{2}\times 264 \\
= 1.414 \times 264 \\
= 373.296 cm \end{aligned}

3. 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}

4. A rectangular field is to be fenced on three sides leaving a side of 20 feet uncovered.If the area of the field is 680 sq.ft, how many feet of fencing will be required ?

88 feet
86 feet
84 feet
82 feet

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

We are given with length and area, so we can find the breadth.
as Length * Breadth = Area
=> 20 * Breadth = 680
=> Breadth = 34 feet

Area to be fenced = 2B + L = 2*34 + 20
= 88 feet

5. The length of a rectangle is three times of its width. If the length of the diagonal is \begin{aligned}8\sqrt{10}\end{aligned}, then find the perimeter of the rectangle.

60 cm
62 cm
64 cm
66 cm

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let Breadth = x cm,
then, Length = 3x cm
\begin{aligned}
x^2+{(3x)}^2 = {(8\sqrt{10})}^2 \\
=> 10x^2 = 640 \\
=> x = 8 \\
\end{aligned}
So, length = 24 cm and breadth = 8 cm
Perimeter = 2(l+b)
= 2(24+8) = 64 cm
