Question 61.


A man wants to paint two of his walls. The cost of painting is Rs10 per cm2How much money is required by him to paint a rectangular wall of length 400 cm and breadth 900 cm and a circular wall of diameter 126 cm? [4 MARKS]

Formula: 1 Mark
Steps: 2 Marks
Answer: 1 Mark
Given that 
The cost of painting is Rs10 per 
cm2.
The length of the rectangular wall=400 cm
The breadth of the rectangular wall=900 cm
Area of the rectangle =  length
 × breadth
On substituting the values we get


Area of the rectangle = (400) × (900)


  = 360000 cm2


Money required to paint the rectangular wall = (10) × (360000)


= Rs.3600000
The diameter of the circular wall = 126 cm.
Radius of the wall, r = 1262 = 63 cm
The area a circle is given by, Area = π×r2
On substituting the values we get,
Area of the circular wall
= 227×63×63 = 12474 cm2
Money required to paint the circular wall
 = 12474×10 = Rs 124740
The total cost of painting
3600000 + 124740 = Rs 3724740
Hence, the total cost of painting the walls is Rs 37,24,740.


Question 62.

Answer: Option A. ->
:
Formula: 1 Mark
Steps: 1 Mark
Each Answer: 1 Mark
Given: area of parallelogram = 147 cm
Base (AB) = 35 cm and base (AD) = 49 cm
Since area of parallelogram = base×height
On substituting the values we get,
   1470=35×DL
   DL=147035
   DL = 42 cm
Again, Area of parallelogram = base×height
   1470=49×BM
  BM=147049
   BM = 30 cm
Thus, the lengths of DL and BM are 42 cm and 30 cm respectively.
Question 63.


A rectangular park is 40m wide and 35m long. A path 2.5m wide is constructed outside the path. Find the area of the path. [4 MARKS]

Steps: 2 Marks
Application: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
The given area will be inscribed between two rectangles of length and breadth.

We can imagine as a rectangle whose length has been increased on both the sides. 
So, the sides  of the outer triangle are,
Length = 35 + 5 = 40 m
And breadth = 40 + 5 = 45 m


40m and 45m, 40m and 35m respectively.
The area of the footpath = Area of outer rectangle - Area of inner rectangle
Area of the rectangle = length×breadth
On substituting the values we get;


Area required = (45) × (40) - (40) × (35)


= 1800 - 1400


= 400m2
The area of the footpath is 400m2.


Question 64.


A man wants to cover his floor with carpet which costs Rs100 per square meters. His floor is in the form of a square which has a perimeter of 24 meters. What will be the cost of carpeting the floor?  [4 MARKS]

Answer: Option A. ->
:

Formula: 1 Mark
Steps: 2 Marks
Result: 1 Mark
Given that  :
A man wants to cover the floor with carpet which costs Rs 100.
His floor is in the form of a square.
Perimeter of the floor = 24 meters
 
Let the length of each side of the square be 'a'.
Perimeter of a square = 4a = 24 meters
Length of one side, a = 244 = 6 meters
Area of a sqaure = a × a = 6 × 6 = 36 square meters
Total Cost of carpeting the floor = 36 × 100 = Rs 3600. 
The total cost of carpeting the floor is  Rs 3600. 


Question 65.


Puja is the owner of a farm as shown in the figure. She goes to the market to buy the fence wire for the field. Calculate the minimum length of the wire to be bought by Puja so that the entire farm is covered. (All dimensions are in m) 


Puja Is The Owner Of A Farm As Shown In The Figure. She Goes...


  1.     55 m
  2.     70 m
  3.     60 m
  4.     45 m
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 70 m
:
B

To find out the minimum length of the wire to be bought by Puja so that the entire farm is covered, we have to find out the perimeter of the entire farm.


Puja Is The Owner Of A Farm As Shown In The Figure. She Goes...


From the above figure, the length of the side AF = (Length of side BC) - (Length of side ED) = (20-5) m = 15m.
Length of side AB = (Length of side DC + Length of side FE) = (5+10) m = 15m


As we know, the perimeter of a plane figure is the length of its boundary.


Perimeter of the farm = (15+20+5+5+10+15) m = 70 m.


So, the minimum length of the wire to be bought by Puja is 70 m.


Question 66.


Puja has two ropes measuring 5 m and 6 m. She ties a goat at point A with the 5 m rope and ties another goat at point B with the 6 m rope. Find out the ratio of areas grazed at point A and point B. The goats can only move inside the field. 


  1.     25:36
  2.     26:37 
  3.     24:36
  4.     25:37
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 25:36
:
A

The area grazed by both the goats will be circular in shape as they are moving at a constant distance from a fixed point.
Hence, the area grazed when a goat is tied at a point with a rope would be a circle with radius equal to the length of the rope.
Area of a circle = πr2.
Hence, the required ratio = Area at AArea at B
= (πrAπrB)2 
=(rArB)2
= (56)2 = 25:36 .


Question 67.


Raj is living in a big room. The dimension of the room is 15.6 m x 19.5 m. He wants to cover the floor with the tiles, each of them measuring 120 cm x 150 cm. Find the exact number of tiles required by Raj to cover the floor.


  1.     169
  2.     269
  3.     70
  4.     100
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 169
:
A
First of all, we have to convert all the dimensions into the same unit. ( 1 m = 100 cm )
The number of tiles × Area of each tile = Area of the entire room.
Number of tiles = 15.6×19.51.2×1.5 = 169 tiles.
Question 68.


A car has to travel 0.121 km to reach from A to B. If the radius of the tyre is 7 cm. How many times will the tire rotate while the car travels from A to B ?  (Use π = 227)


___
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 169
:

Circumference of tyre = 2 πr = Distance travelled in each rotation = 2×227×7 = 44 cm.


Total distance covered = Number of rotations × Circumference of tyre


Number of rotations = 0.121 km44 cm=0.121×1000 m44×0.01 m = 275


Question 69.

  2.     4 m
  3.     5 m
  4.     1 m
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 3 m
:
A

 Area of a parallelogram = Base × corresponding height ​.
Therefore,  Base = Area of a parallelogramCorresponding height 
Base = 248 = 3 m.


Question 70.


A hall is in the shape of a parallelogram. One of the parallel walls measures 8 m. The perpendicular distance corresponding to that wall is 1.75 times the length of this wall. If the cost of carpeting the hall is   2 per m2 . Find the total cost of carpeting the hall.  


  1.     224
  2.     264
  3.     642
  4.     292
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 224
:
A

Area of parallelogram = Base × corresponding height 
Area of parallelogram = 8 × (1.75 × 8) 
Area of parallelogram = 112 m2 ​.
Total cost of carpeting the hall = Cost per m2 ×​ Area
=
2/m2 × 112 m2 = 224.
