Questions and Answers

Q 1 - The proportion of the length and expansiveness of a plot is 3:2. On the off chance that the expansiveness is 40m not exactly the length of its slanting is:

A - 480 m

B - 320 m

C - 400 m

D - 450 m

Answer : C

Explanation

Let the length be 3x meter. Then, breadth = 2x meters
Then, 3x-2x= 40 ⇒ x=40
∴length = (3*40) = 120m and b= (2*40) =80m
∴ Perimeter = 2(120+80) = 400m

Q 2 - The biggest size of the bamboo can be set in a square of zone 100sq. meters is:

A - 10 m

B - 14.14 m

C - 20 m

D - 25 m

Answer : B

Explanation

side of the square = √100 m =10 m
Largest size of the bamboo= length of the diagonal of the square.
= √ (10) 2+ (10) 2m = √ 200m   = 10√ 2m
=(10*1.414) m 14.14m

Q 3 - If the proportion of the ranges of two squares, one having twofold it's corner to corner then the other is:

A - 2:1

B - 3:1

C - 3:2

D - 4:1

Answer : D

Explanation

Let the length of the diagonals be 2x and x units.
Then, their areas are 1/2 *(2x)2 and (1/2*x2)
Required ratio: (1/2*4x2): (1/2x2) = 4:1

Q 4 - The range of a rectangle is 144m long is the same as that of a square of side 84m. The width of the rectangle is:

A - 7 m

B - 14 m

C - 49 m

D - cannot be resolved

Answer : C

Explanation

Let the width be x meters. Then,
1448* x= 84*84 ⇒ x= 84*84/144 =49m
∴ Width of the rectangle is 49 m.

Q 5 - The length of a rectangle is twice than its broadness. On the off chance that the length of this rectangle is expanded by 5cm and broadness is diminished by 5cm, the territory of a rectangle is expanded by 75m2. The length of the rectangle is:

A - 20 cm

B - 30 cm

C - 40 cm

D - 50 cm

Answer : C

Explanation

Let breadth be x cm. Then, length =2x cm
(2x-5) (x+5)-x*2x =75 ⇒5x= 100 ⇒x= 20
∴Length = (2*20) cm =40 cm

Q 6 - The ratio of the area of a square of side a and that of an equilateral triangle of side a, is

A - 2:1

B - 2:√3

C - 4:3

D - 4:√3

Answer : D

Explanation

Required ratio  = a2/(√3/4) a2  = 4/√3=  4:√3

Q 7 - On expanding every side of an equilateral triangle by 2cm, there is an increment of 2√3 cm2 in its zone. The length of every side of the Triangle is:

A - 1cm

B - √3 cm

C - 3cm

D - (2+√3) cm

Answer : A

Explanation

Let each side of the triangle be x cm. then, area = (√3/4) x2 cm2
∴ √3/4 (x+2)2- √3/4 x2= 2√3 ⇒√3/4{(x+2)2- x2} =2√3
⇒ √3/4* 4(x+1) = 2√3 ⇒ x+1= 2 ⇒x= 1

Q 8 - The stature of an equilateral triangle is √6cm. Its range is:

A - 3√3 cm2

B - 2√3 cm2

C - 2√2 cm2

D - 6√2 cm2

Answer : B

Explanation

Let the base be A cm , Then,
1/2 *a* √6= (√3/4) a2⇒      a= 1/2 *√6* 4/√3= 2√2
Area of the triangle = {(√3/4* (2√2) 2} cm2 = (√3/4*8) cm2
= 2√3cm2

Q 9 - The slanting of a square is 20 m. The territory of the square is:

A - 40 m2

B - 120 m2

C - 200 m2

D - 400 m2

Answer : C

Explanation

Area =1/2*(diagonal)2=(1/2*20*20)m2=200m2

Q 10 - The edge of a circle and a square field are equivalent. What is the Breadth of the round field, if the region of the square field is484m2?

A - 14 m

B - 21 m

C - 28 m

D - none of these

Answer : C

Explanation

Let the side of the square be a meters. Then,
a2= 484 ⇒a =√484 =22m
Perimeter of circle =Perimeter of the square= (22*4) m = 88m
⇒2* 22/7*R = 88 ⇒R= (88*7/44) = 14m
∴ Diameter= (14*2) m = 28m
