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. 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 sides of a triangle are in the ratio of \begin{aligned}\frac{1}{2}:\frac{1}{3}:\frac{1}{4}\end{aligned}. If the perimeter is 52 cm, then find the length of the smallest side.

12 cm
14 cm
16 cm
18 cm

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\text{Ratio of sides =}\frac{1}{2}:\frac{1}{3}:\frac{1}{4} \\
=6:4:3\\
Perimeter = 52 cm \\
\text{So sides are =} \\
\left( 52*\frac{6}{13}\right)cm,\left( 52*\frac{4}{13}\right)cm, \left( 52*\frac{3}{13}\right)cm
\end{aligned}
a = 24 cm, b = 16 cm and c = 12 cm
Length of the smallest side = 12 cm

3. 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}

4. 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

5. 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}
