Question Detail

The area of a rectangle is 460 square metres. If the length is 15% more than the breadth, what is the breadth of the rectangular field ?

18 meter
20 meter
22 meter
25 meter

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let breadth =x metres.
Then length =(115x/100)metres.
\begin{aligned}
=x*\frac{115x}{100}= 460\\
x^2=(460 x 100/115) \\
x^2=400 \\
x= 20 \\
\end{aligned}

1. 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

2. 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}

3. 50 square stone slabs of equal size were needed to cover a floor area of 72 sq.m. Find the length of each stone slab.

110 cm
116 cm
118 cm
120 cm

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Area of each slab =
\begin{aligned}
\frac{72}{50}m^2 = 1.44 m^2\\
\text{Length of each slab =}\sqrt{1.44} \\
= 1.2m = 120 cm

\end{aligned}

4. A courtyard is 25 meter long and 16 meter board is to be paved with bricks of dimensions 20 cm by 10 cm. The total number of bricks required is :

16000
18000
20000
22000

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\text{Number of bricks =}\frac{\text{Courtyard area}}{\text{1 brick area}} \\
= \left( \frac{2500 \times 1600}{20 \times 10} \right) \\
= 20000
\end{aligned}

5. 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}
