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 C

Explanation:

Let the original radius be R cm. New radius = 2R

\begin{aligned}
Area = \pi R^2 \\
\text{New Area =} \pi {2R}^2 \\
= 4\pi R^2 \\
\text{Increase in area =}(4\pi R^2 - \pi R^2) \\
= 3\pi R^2 \\
\text{Increase percent =} \frac{3\pi R^2}{\pi R^2}*100 \\
= 300 \%
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\frac{a^2}{b^2} = \frac{225}{256} \\
\frac{15}{16} \\
<=> \frac{4a}{4b} = \frac{4*15}{4*16} \\
= \frac{15}{16} = 15:16
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

We know perimeter of square = 4(side)
So Side of first square = 40/4 = 10 cm
Side of second square = 32/4 = 8 cm

Area of third Square = 10*10 - 8*8
= 36 cm

So side of third square = 6 [because area of square = side*side]
Perimeter = 4*Side = 4*6 = 24 cm

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\text{Area of triangle, A1 = }\frac{1}{2}*base*height \\
= \frac{1}{2}*15*12 = 90 cm^2 \\
\text{Area of second triangle =} 2*A1 \\
= 180 cm^2 \\
\frac{1}{2}*20*height = 180 \\
=> height = 18 cm


\end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

In this type of question, we will first calculate the distance covered in given time.
Distance covered will be, Number of revolutions * Circumference

So we will be having distance and time, from which we can calculate the speed. So let solve.

Radius of wheel = 70/2 = 35 cm
Distance covered in 40 revolutions will be

\begin{aligned}
\text{40 * Circumference } \\
= \text{40 * 2*\pi*r } \\
= 40 * 2* \frac{22}{7}* 35 \\
= 8800 cm \\
= \frac{8800}{100} m = 88 m\\

\text{Distance covered in 1 sec =}\\
\frac{88}{10} \\
= 8.8 m \\

Speed = 8.8 m/s \\
= 8.8*\frac{18}{5} = 31.68 km/hr

\end{aligned}
