Question Detail

If the area of a square with the side a is equal to the area of a triangle with base a, then the altitude of the triangle is.

a
a/2
2a
None of above

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\text{We know area of square =}a^2 \\
\text{Area of triangle =}\frac{1}{2}*a*h \\
=> \frac{1}{2}*a*h = a^2 \\
=> h = 2a

\end{aligned}

1. 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

2. 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

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. The wheel of a motorcycle, 70 cm in diameter makes 40 revolutions in every 10 seconds. What is the speed of the motorcycle in km/hr

30.68 km/hr
31.68 km/hr
32.68 km/hr
33.68 km/hr

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}

5. What are the least number of square tiles required to pave the floor of a room 15 m 17 cm long and 9 m 2 cm broad ?

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

In this type of questions, first we need to calculate the area of tiles. With we can get by obtaining the length of largest tile.
Length of largest tile can be obtained from HCF of length and breadth.
So lets solve this,

Length of largest tile = HCF of (1517 cm and 902 cm)
= 41 cm

Required number of tiles =
\begin{aligned}
\frac{\text{Area of floor}}{\text{Area of tile}} \\
= \left(\frac{1517\times902}{41 \times 41}\right)\\
= 814

\end{aligned}
