Question Detail

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

1. What will be the ratio between the area of a rectangle and the area of a triangle with one of the sides of the rectangle as base and a vertex on the opposite side of the rectangle ?

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

As far as questions of Area or Volume and Surface area are concerned, it is all about formulas and very little logic. So its a sincere advice to get all formulas remembered before solving these questions.

Lets solve this,

\begin{aligned}
\text{Area of rectangle =}l*b\\
\text{Area of triangle =}\frac{1}{2}l*b\\
\text{Ratio =}l*b:\frac{1}{2}l*b \\
= 1:\frac{1}{2} \\
= 2:1

\end{aligned}

One little thing which should be taken care in this type of question is, be sure you are calculating ration in the given order of the question.
If it is ratio of triangle and rectangle then we have to write triangle formula first. cheers :)

2. 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}

3. 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}

4. The area of rhombus is 150 cm square. The length of one of the its diagonals is 10 cm. The length of the other diagonal is:

15 cm
20 cm
25 cm
30 cm

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

We know the product of diagonals is 1/2*(product of diagonals)

Let one diagonal be d1 and d2
So as per question

\begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{2}*d1*d2 = 150 \\
\frac{1}{2}*10*d2 = 150 \\
d2 = \frac{150}{5} = 30 \\
\end{aligned}

5. What will be the cost of gardening 1 meter boundary around a rectangular plot having perimeter of 340 meters at the rate of Rs. 10 per square meter ?

Rs. 3430
Rs. 3440
Rs. 3450
Rs. 3460

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

In this question, we are having perimeter.
We know Perimeter = 2(l+b), right
So,
2(l+b) = 340
As we have to make 1 meter boundary around this, so
Area of boundary = ((l+2)+(b+2)-lb)
= 2(l+b)+4 = 340+4 = 344

So required cost will be = 344 * 10 = 3440
