Question Detail

The perimeters of 5 squares are 24 cm, 32 cm, 40 cm, 76 cm and 80 cm respectively. The perimeter of another square equal in area to the sum of the area of these square is:

124 cm
120 cm
64 cm
56 cm

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Clearly first we need to find the areas of the given squares, for that we need its side.

Side of sqaure = Perimeter/4

So sides are,

\begin{aligned}
\left(\frac{24}{4}\right),\left(\frac{32}{4}\right),\left(\frac{40}{4}\right),\left(\frac{76}{4}\right),\left(\frac{80}{4}\right) \\
= 6,8,10,19,20 \\
\text{Area of new square will be }\\
= [6^2+8^2+10^2+19^2+20^2] \\
= 36+64+100+361+400 \\
= 961 cm^2 \\
\text{Side of new Sqaure =}\sqrt{961} \\
= 31 cm \\
\text{Required perimeter =}(4\times31) \\
= 124 cm

\end{aligned}

1. 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}

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. If the radius of a circle is diminished by 10%, then the area is diminished by:

200%
210%
300%
310%

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}

4. The percentage increase in the area of a rectangle, if each of its sides is increased by 20% is:

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let original length = x metres and original breadth = y metres.

\begin{aligned}
\text{Original area } = \text{xy } m^2 \\
\text{New Length }= \frac{120}{100}x = \frac{6}{5}x \\
\text{New Breadth }= \frac{120}{100}y = \frac{6}{5}y \\
=>\text{New Area }= \frac{6}{5}x * \frac{6}{5}y \\
=>\text{New Area }= \frac{36}{25}xy \\

\text{Area Difference} = \frac{36}{25}xy - xy \\
= \frac{11}{25}xy \\

Increase \% = \frac{Differnce}{Actual}*100 \\
= \frac{11xy}{25}*\frac{1}{xy}*100 = 44\%

\end{aligned}

5. A farmer wishes to start a 100 sq. m. rectangular vegetable garden. Since he has only 30 meter barbed wire, he fences three sides of the garden letting his house compound wall act as the fourth side fencing. Then find the dimension of the garden.

10 m * 5 m
15 m * 5 m
20 m * 5 m
25 m * 5 m

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

From the question, 2b+l = 30
=> l = 30-2b
\begin{aligned}
Area = 100m^2 \\
=> l \times b = 100 \\
=> b(30-2b) = 100 \\
b^2 - 15b + 50 = 0 \\
=>(b-10)(b-5)=0 \\
\end{aligned}
b = 10 or b = 5
when b = 10 then l = 10
when b = 5 then l = 20
Since the garden is rectangular so we will take value of breadth 5.
So its dimensions are 20 m * 5 m
