Question 231. The ratio of the length and the breadth of a rectangle is 4 : 3 and the area of the rectangle is 6912 sq cm. Find the ratio of the breadth and the area of the rectangle?
  1.    1 : 96
  2.    1 : 48
  3.    1 : 84
  4.    1 : 68
  5.    None of these

Answer: Option A. -> 1 : 96


Let the length and the breadth of the rectangle be 4x cm and 3x respectively.(4x)(3x) = 691212x2 = 6912 x2 = 576 = 4 * 144 = 22 * 122 (x > 0)
=> x = 2 * 12 = 24Ratio of the breadth and the areas = 3x : 12x2 = 1 : 4x = 1: 96.


Question 232. The length of a rectangular plot is thrice its breadth. If the area of the rectangular plot is 867 sq m, then what is the breadth of the rectangular plot?
  1.    8.5 m
  2.    17 m
  3.    34 m
  4.    51 m
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 17 m


Let the breadth of the plot be b m.Length of the plot = 3 b m(3b)(b) = 8673b2 = 867 b2 = 289 = 172 (b > 0)b = 17 m.


Question 233. The length of a rectangular floor is more than its breadth by 200%. If Rs. 324 is required to paint the floor at the rate of Rs. 3 per sq m, then what would be the length of the floor?
  1.    27 m
  2.    24 m
  3.    18 m
  4.    21 m
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 18 m


Let the length and the breadth of the floor be l m and b m respectively.l = b + 200% of b = l + 2b = 3bArea of the floor = 324/3 = 108 sq ml b = 108 i.e., l * l/3 = 108l2 = 324 => l = 18.


Question 234. An order was placed for the supply of a carpet whose breadth was 6 m and length was 1.44 times the breadth. What be the cost of a carpet whose length and breadth are 40% more and 25% more respectively than the first carpet. Given that the ratio of carpet is Rs. 45 per sq m?
  1.    Rs. 3642.40
  2.    Rs. 3868.80
  3.    Rs. 4216.20
  4.    Rs. 4082.40
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Rs. 4082.40


Length of the first carpet = (1.44)(6) = 8.64 cmArea of the second carpet = 8.64(1 + 40/100) 6 (1 + 25/100)= 51.84(1.4)(5/4) sq m = (12.96)(7) sq mCost of the second carpet = (45)(12.96 * 7) = 315 (13 - 0.04) = 4095 - 12.6 = Rs. 4082.40


Question 235. The circumferences of two circles are 264 meters and 352 meters. Find the difference between the areas of the larger and the smaller circles.
  1.    4192 sq m
  2.    4304 sq m
  3.    4312 sq m
  4.    4360 sq m
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 4312 sq m


Let the radii of the smaller and the larger circles be s m and l m respectively. 2∏s = 264 and 2∏l = 352 s = 264/2∏ and l = 352/2∏ Difference between the areas = ∏l2 - ∏s2 = ∏{1762/∏2 - 1322/∏2} = 1762/∏ - 1322/∏ = (176 - 132)(176 + 132)/∏ = (44)(308)/(22/7) = (2)(308)(7) = 4312 sq m


Question 236. The parameter of a square is equal to the perimeter of a rectangle of length 16 cm and breadth 14 cm. Find the circumference of a semicircle whose diameter is equal to the side of the square. (Round off your answer to two decimal places)
  1.    77.14 cm
  2.    47.14 cm
  3.    84.92 cm
  4.    94.94 cm
  5.    23.57 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option E. -> 23.57 cm


Let the side of the square be a cm. Parameter of the rectangle = 2(16 + 14) = 60 cm
Parameter of the square = 60 cm i.e. 4a = 60 A = 15 Diameter of the semicircle = 15 cm Circimference of the semicircle = 1/2(∏)(15) = 1/2(22/7)(15) = 330/14 = 23.57 cm to two decimal places


Question 237. A 25 cm wide path is to be made around a circular garden having a diameter of 4 meters. Approximate area of the path is square meters is
  1.    3.34
  2.    2
  3.    4.5
  4.    5.5
  5.    5
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 3.34


Area of the path = Area of the outer circle - Area of the inner circle = ∏{4/2 + 25/100}2 - ∏[4/2]2 = ∏[2.252 - 22]
= ∏(0.25)(4.25)  { (a2 - b2 = (a - b)(a + b) } = (3.14)(1/4)(17/4) = 53.38/16 = 3.34 sq m


Question 238. There are two circles of different radii. The are of a square is 784 sq cm and its side is twice the radius of the larger circle. The radius of the larger circle is seven - third that of the smaller circle. Find the circumference of the smaller circle.
  1.    6∏ cm
  2.    8∏ cm
  3.    12∏ cm
  4.    16∏ cm
  5.    None of these.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 12∏ cm


Let the radii of the larger and the smaller circles be l cm and s cm respectively. Let the side of the square be a cm. a2 = 784 = (4)(196) = (22).(142) a = (2)(14) = 28 a = 2l, l = a/2 = 14 l = (7/3)s Therefore s = (3/7)(l) = 6
Circumference of the smaller circle = 2∏s = 12∏ cm.


Question 239. A cube of side one meter length is cut into small cubes of side 10 cm each. How many such small cubes can be obtained?
  1.    10
  2.    100
  3.    1000
  4.    10000
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 1000


Along one edge, the number of small cubes that can be cut = 100/10 = 10 Along each edge 10 cubes can be cut. (Along length, breadth and height). Total number of small cubes that can be cut = 10 * 10 * 10 = 1000


Question 240. The area of a square is equal to five times the area of a rectangle of dimensions 125 cm * 64 cm. What is the perimeter of the square?
  1.    600 cm
  2.    800 cm
  3.    400 cm
  4.    1000 cm
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 800 cm


Area of the square = s * s = 5(125 * 64)=> s = 25 * 8 = 200 cmPerimeter of the square = 4 * 200 = 800 cm.
