Question 2541. The total surface area of a right circular cylinder with radius of the base 7 cm and height 20 cm, is :
  1.    900 cm2
  2.    140 cm2
  3.    1000 cm2
  4.    1188 cm2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 1188 cm2
Radius and height of a right circular cylinder is 7 cm and 20 cm respectively
Total surface area of right circular cylinder :
$$\eqalign{
& = 2\pi rh + 2\pi r^2 \cr
& = 2\pi r\left( {h + r} \right) \cr
& = 2 \times \frac{{22}}{7} \times 7\left( {20 + 7} \right) \cr
& = 2 \times 22 \times 27 \cr
& = 1188\,sq.\,cm \cr} $$
Question 2542. There are 4 semi-circular gardens on each side of a square-shaped pond with each side 21 m. The cost of fencing the entire plot at the rate of Rs. 12.50 per metre is :
  1.    Rs. 1560
  2.    Rs. 1650
  3.    Rs. 3120
  4.    Rs. 3300
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Rs. 1650
Length of the fence =$$4\pi R$$
Where, $$R = \frac{{21}}{2}m$$
$$\eqalign{
& 4\pi R \cr
& = \left( {4 \times \frac{{22}}{7} \times \frac{{21}}{2}} \right)m \cr
& = 132\,m \cr} $$
Cost of fencing :
$$\eqalign{
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {132 \times \frac{{25}}{2}} \right) \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.1650}} \cr} $$
Question 2543. A farmer wishes to start a 100 sq.m rectangular vegetable garden. Since he has only 30 m barbed wire, he fences three sides of the garden letting his house compound wall act as the fourth side fencing. The dimension of the garden is :
  1.    15 m × 6.67 m
  2.    20 m × 5 m
  3.    30 m × 3.33 m
  4.    40 m × 2.5 m
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 20 m × 5 m
We have :
$$\eqalign{
& 2b + l = 30 \cr
& \Rightarrow l = 30 - 2b \cr} $$
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Area}} = {\text{100 }}{m^2} \cr
& \Rightarrow l \times b = 100 \cr
& \Rightarrow b\left( {30 - 2b} \right) = 100 \cr
& \Rightarrow {b^2} - 15b + 50 = 0 \cr
& \Rightarrow \left( {b - 10} \right)\left( {b - 5} \right) = 0 \cr
& \Rightarrow b = 10{\text{ or }}b = 5 \cr} $$
When, b = 10, $$l$$ = 10 and when b = 5, $$l$$ = 20
Since the garden is rectangular, so its dimension is 20 m × 5 m
Question 2544. Two sides of a rectangle were measured. One of the sides (length) was measured 10% more than its actual length and the other side (width) was measured 5% less than its actual length. The percentage error in measure obtained for the area of the rectangle is :
  1.    4.5%
  2.    5%
  3.    7.56%
  4.    15%
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 4.5%
Let the actual length and width of the rectangle be $$l$$ and b respectively.
Then, measured length :
$$ = 100\% {\text{ of }}l = \frac{{11l}}{{10}}$$
Measured width :
$$ = 95\% {\text{ of }}b = \frac{{19b}}{{20}}$$
Actual area = $$lb$$
Measured area :
$$\eqalign{
& = \left( {\frac{{11l}}{{10}} \times \frac{{19b}}{{20}}} \right) \cr
& = \frac{{209lb}}{{200}} \cr} $$
Error in measurement :
$$\eqalign{
& = \left( {\frac{{209lb}}{{200}} - lb} \right) \cr
& = \frac{{9lb}}{{200}} \cr} $$
∴ Error % :$$\eqalign{
& = \left( {\frac{{9lb}}{{200}} \times \frac{1}{{lb}} \times 100} \right)\% \cr
& = 4.5\% \cr} $$
Question 2545. The area of a square is three-fifths the area of a rectangle. The length of the rectangle is 25 cm and its breadth is 10 cm less than its length. What is the perimeter of the square ?
  1.    44 cm
  2.    60 cm
  3.    80 cm
  4.    Cannot be determined
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 60 cm
Length of rectangle = 25 cm
Breadth of rectangle = 15 cm
Area of rectangle :
$$\eqalign{
& = \left( {25 \times 15} \right)c{m^2} \cr
& = 375\,cm \cr} $$
Area of square :
$$\eqalign{
& = \left( {\frac{3}{5} \times 375} \right)c{m^2} \cr
& = 225\,c{m^2} \cr} $$
Side of square :
$$\eqalign{
& = \sqrt {225} \,cm \cr
& = 15\,cm \cr} $$
Perimeter of square :
$$\eqalign{
& = \left( {4 \times 15} \right)cm \cr
& = 60\,cm \cr} $$
Question 2546. The area of a rectangle is thrice that of a square. If the length of the rectangle is 40 cm and its breadth is $$\frac{3}{2}$$ times that of the side pf the square, then the side if the square is :
  1.    15 cm
  2.    20 cm
  3.    30 cm
  4.    60 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 20 cm
Let the side of the square be x cm
Then, its area = x2 cm2
Area of the rectangle = 3x2 cm2
∴ 40 × $$\frac{3}{2}$$ × x = 3x2
⇔ x = 20 cm
Question 2547. The base and altitude of a right-angled triangle are 12 cm and 5 cm respectively. The perpendicular distance of its hypotenuse from the opposite vertex is :
  1.    $$4\frac{4}{{13}}\,cm$$
  2.    $$4\frac{8}{{13}}\,cm$$
  3.    $$6\frac{9}{{13}}\,cm$$
  4.    $$5\,cm$$
  5.    $$7\,cm$$
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> $$4\frac{8}{{13}}\,cm$$
Area of the triangle :
$$\eqalign{
& = \left( {\frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 5} \right)c{m^2} \cr
& = 30\,c{m^2} \cr} $$
Hypotenuse :
$$\eqalign{
& = \sqrt {{{12}^2} + {5^2}} \,cm \cr
& = \sqrt {169} \,cm \cr
& = 13\,cm \cr} $$
Let the perpendicular distance of the hypotenuse from the opposite vertex be x cm
Then,
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \times 13 \times x = 30 \cr
& \Rightarrow x = \frac{{60}}{{13}} \cr
& \Rightarrow x = 4\frac{8}{{13}}\,cm \cr} $$
Question 2548. If the ratio between the areas of two circles is 4 : 1 then the ratio between their radii will be ?
  1.    1 : 2
  2.    2 : 1
  3.    1 : 3
  4.    4 : 1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 2 : 1
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow \frac{{\pi R_1^2}}{{\pi R_2^2}} = \frac{4}{1} \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{{R_1^2}}{{R_2^2}} = \frac{4}{1} \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{{{R_1}}}{{{R_2}}} = \frac{2}{1}{\text{ Or }}2:1 \cr} $$
Question 2549. The circumference of the back-sided wheel of a vehicle is 1 m greater than that of front side wheel. To travel 600 m, the front wheel rotates 30 times more than the back wheel. The circumference of the front wheel is :
  1.    2 m
  2.    4 m
  3.    5 m
  4.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 4 m
Let the circumference of front wheel be x metres
Then, Circumference of rear wheel = (x - 1) metres
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore \frac{{600}}{x} - \frac{{600}}{{\left( {x + 1} \right)}} = 30 \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{1}{{x\left( {x + 1} \right)}} = \frac{1}{{20}} \cr
& \Rightarrow x\left( {x - 1} \right) = 20 \cr
& \Rightarrow \left( {{x^2} + x - 20} \right) = 0 \cr
& \Rightarrow \left( {x + 5} \right)\left( {x - 4} \right) = 0 \cr
& \Rightarrow x = 4\,m \cr} $$
Question 2550. A circle and a rectangle have the same perimeter. The sides of the rectangle are 18 cm and 26 cm. What is the area of the circle ?
  1.    88 cm2
  2.    154 cm2
  3.    1250 cm2
  4.    Cannot be determined
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option E. -> None of these
$$\eqalign{
& 2\pi R = 2\left( {l + b} \right) \cr
& \Rightarrow 2\pi R = 2(26 + 18)cm \cr
& \Rightarrow R = \left( {\frac{{88}}{{2 \times 22}} \times 7} \right)cm \cr
& \Rightarrow R = 14\,cm \cr} $$
∴ Area of the circle :
$$\eqalign{
& = \pi {R^2} \cr
& = \left( {\frac{{22}}{7} \times 14 \times 14} \right)c{m^2} \cr
& = 616\,c{m^2} \cr} $$
