Question Detail

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

1. A triangle and a parallelogram are constructed on the same base such that their areas are equal. If the altitude of the parallelogram is 100 m , then the altitude of the triangle is.

200 m
150 m
148 m
140 m

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let the triangle and parallelogram have common base b,
let the Altitude of triangle is h1 and of parallelogram is h2(which is equal to 100 m), then
\begin{aligned}
\text{Area of triangle =}\frac{1}{2}*b*h1\\
\text{Area of rectangle =}b*h2\\
\text{As per question }\\
\frac{1}{2}*b*h1 = b*h2 \\

\frac{1}{2}*b*h1 = b*100 \\

h1 = 100*2 = 200 m \\

\end{aligned}

2. The ratio between the length and the breadth of a rectangular park is 3 : 2. If a man cycling along the boundary of the park at the speed of 12 km/hr completes one round in 8 minutes, then the area of the park (in sq. m) is:

\begin{aligned} 152600 m^2\end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 153500 m^2\end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 153600 m^2\end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 153800 m^2\end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Question seems to be typical, but trust me it is too easy to solve, before solving this, lets analyse how we can solve this.
We are having speed and time so we can calculate the distance or perimeter in this question.
Then by applying the formula of perimeter of rectangle we can get value of length and breadth, So finally can get the area. Lets solve it:

Perimeter = Distance travelled in 8 minutes,
=> Perimeter = 12000/60 * 8 = 1600 meter. [because Distance = Speed * Time]

As per question length is 3x and width is 2x
We know perimeter of rectangle is 2(L+B)
So, 2(3x+2x) = 1600
=> x = 160
So Length = 160*3 = 480 meter
and Width = 160*2 = 320 meter

Finally, Area = length * breadth
= 480 * 320 = 153600

3. The perimeters of two squares are 40 cm and 32 cm. Find the perimeter of a third square whose area is equal to the difference of the areas of the two squares .

22 cm
24 cm
26 cm
28 cm

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

4. Find the circumference of a circle, whose area is 24.64 meter sqaure

17.90m
17.80m
17.60m
17.40m

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\text{Area of Square =} \pi*r^2\\
=> \pi*r^2 = 24.64 \\
=> r^2 = \frac{24.64}{22}*7 \\
=> r^2 = 7.84 \\
=> r = \sqrt{7.84} \\
=> r = 2.8 \\
\text{Circumference =}2\pi*r\\
= 2*\frac{22}{7}*2.8 \\
= 17.60m

\end{aligned}

5. The height of an equilateral triangle is 10 cm. find its area.

\begin{aligned} \frac{120}{\sqrt{3}} cm^2 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \frac{110}{\sqrt{3}} cm^2 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \frac{100}{\sqrt{3}} cm^2 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \frac{90}{\sqrt{3}} cm^2 \end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let each side be a cm, then
\begin{aligned}
\left(\frac{a}{2}\right)^2+{10}^2 = a^2 \\
<=>\left(a^2-\frac{a^2}{4}\right) = 100 \\
<=> \frac{3a^2}{4} = 100 \\
a^2 = \frac{400}{3} \\
Area = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}*a^2 \\
= \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}*\frac{400}{3}\right)cm^2 \\
= \frac{100}{\sqrt{3}}cm^2
\end{aligned}
