Question Detail

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}

1. 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}

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 percentage increase in the area of a rectangle, if each of its sides is increased by 20% is:

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let original length = x metres and original breadth = y metres.

\begin{aligned}
\text{Original area } = \text{xy } m^2 \\
\text{New Length }= \frac{120}{100}x = \frac{6}{5}x \\
\text{New Breadth }= \frac{120}{100}y = \frac{6}{5}y \\
=>\text{New Area }= \frac{6}{5}x * \frac{6}{5}y \\
=>\text{New Area }= \frac{36}{25}xy \\

\text{Area Difference} = \frac{36}{25}xy - xy \\
= \frac{11}{25}xy \\

Increase \% = \frac{Differnce}{Actual}*100 \\
= \frac{11xy}{25}*\frac{1}{xy}*100 = 44\%

\end{aligned}

4. If the ratio of the areas of two squares is 225:256, then the ratio of their perimeters is :

15:12
15:14
15:16
15:22

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\frac{a^2}{b^2} = \frac{225}{256} \\
\frac{15}{16} \\
<=> \frac{4a}{4b} = \frac{4*15}{4*16} \\
= \frac{15}{16} = 15:16
\end{aligned}

5. The area of incircle of an equilateral triangle of side 42 cm is :

\begin{aligned} 462 cm^2 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 452 cm^2 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 442 cm^2 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 432 cm^2 \end{aligned}

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\text{Radius of incircle} = \frac{a}{2\sqrt3} \\
= \frac{42}{2\sqrt3} \\
= 7\sqrt{3} \\
\text{Area of incircle =} \\
\frac{22}{7}*49*3 = 462 cm^2
\end{aligned}
