Question Detail

If the circumference of a circle increases from 4pi to 8 pi, what change occurs in the area ?

Area is quadrupled
Area is tripled
Area is doubles
Area become half

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
2\pi R1 = 4 \pi \\
=> R1 = 2 \\
2\pi R2 = 8 \pi \\
=> R2 = 4 \\
\text{Original Area =} 4\pi * 2^2 \\
= 16 \pi \\
\text{New Area =} 4\pi * 4^2 \\
= 64 \pi
\end{aligned}

So the area quadruples.

1. 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 D

Explanation:

Let original length = x
and original width = y
Decrease in area will be
\begin{aligned}
= xy-\left( \frac{80x}{100}\times\frac{90y}{100}\right) \\
= \left(xy- \frac{18}{25}xy\right) \\
= \frac{7}{25}xy \\
\text{Decrease = }\left(\frac{7xy}{25xy} \times100\right) \% \\
= 28\%
\end{aligned}

2. 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

3. 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}

4. There is a plot which is rectangular in shape and it area is 460 square metres. What will be breadth of the plot if length of plot is 15% more than the breadth of plot ?

8 mtr
10 mtr
15 mtr
20 mtr

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

\begin{aligned} l*b = 460 m^2 \end{aligned} .. (i)
Lets suppose breadth of plot is = b rnLength will be,\begin{aligned}l=b*\frac{100+15}{100}\\=\frac{115b}{100}\end{aligned} .. (ii)

From (i) and (ii), we get :
\begin{aligned}
\frac{115b}{100}*b = 460 \\
b^2 = \frac{46000}{115} = 400 \\
=> b = \sqrt{400} = 20 meter
\end{aligned}

5. 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}
