Question 241. What will be the cost of building a fence around a square plot with area equal to 289 sq ft, if the price per foot of building the fence is Rs. 58?
  1.    Rs. 3944
  2.    Rs. 3828
  3.    Rs. 4176
  4.    Cannot be determined
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Rs. 3944


Let the side of the square plot be a ft.a2 = 289 => a = 17Length of the fence = Perimeter of the plot = 4a = 68 ft.Cost of building the fence = 68 * 58 = Rs. 3944.


Question 242. The area of a square is 4096 sq cm. Find the ratio of the breadth and the length of a rectangle whose length is twice the side of the square and breadth is 24 cm less than the side of the square.
  1.    18 : 5
  2.    7 : 16
  3.    5 : 14
  4.    5 : 32
  5.    None of these.

Answer: Option E. -> None of these.


Let the length and the breadth of the rectangle be l cm and b cm respectively. Let the side of the square be a cm. a2 = 4096 = 212 a = (212)1/2 = 26 = 64 L = 2a and b = a - 24 b : l = a - 24 : 2a = 40 : 128 = 5 : 16


Question 243. A wire in the form of a circle of radius 3.5 m is bent in the form of a rectangule, whose length and breadth are in the ratio of 6 : 5. What is the area of the rectangle?
  1.    60 cm2
  2.    30 cm2
  3.    45 cm2
  4.    15 cm2
  5.    None of these.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 30 cm2


The circumference of the circle is equal to the permeter of the rectangle. Let l = 6x and b = 5x
2(6x + 5x) = 2 * 22/7 * 3.5  =>  x = 1 Therefore l = 6 cm and b = 5 cm
Area of the rectangle = 6 * 5 = 30 cm2


Question 244. The parameter of a square is double the perimeter of a rectangle. The area of the rectangle is 480 sq cm. Find the area of the square.
  1.    200 sq cm
  2.    72 sq cm
  3.    162 sq cm
  4.    Cannot be determined
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Cannot be determined


Let the side of the square be a cm. Let the length and the breadth of the rectangle be l cm and b cm respectively. 4a = 2(l + b) 2a = l + b l . b = 480 We cannot find ( l + b) only with the help of l . b.
Therefore a cannot be found . Area of the square cannot be found.


Question 245. The dimensions of a room are 25 feet * 15 feet * 12 feet. What is the cost of white washing the four walls of the room at Rs. 5 per square feet if there is one door of dimensions 6 feet * 3 feet and three windows of dimensions 4 feet * 3 feet each?
  1.    Rs. 4800
  2.    Rs. 3600
  3.    Rs. 3560
  4.    Rs. 4530
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Rs. 4530


Area of the four walls = 2h(l + b)Since there are doors and windows, area of the walls = 2 * 12 (15 + 25) - (6 * 3) - 3(4 * 3) = 906 sq.ft.Total cost = 906 * 5 = Rs. 4530


Question 246. The volumes of two cones are in the ratio 1 : 10 and the radii of the cones are in the ratio of 1 : 2. What is the length of the wire?
  1.    2 : 5
  2.    1 : 5
  3.    3 : 5
  4.    4 : 5
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 2 : 5


The volume of the cone = (1/3)Ï€r2h Only radius (r) and height (h) are varying.Hence, (1/3)Ï€ may be ignored. V1/V2 = r12h1/r22h2  => 1/10  =  (1)2h1/(2)2h2 => h1/h2 = 2/5  i.e. h1 : h2 = 2 : 5


Question 247. A metallic sphere of radius 12 cm is melted and drawn into a wire, whose radius of cross section is 16 cm. What is the length of the wire?
  1.    45 cm
  2.    18 cm
  3.    90 cm
  4.    180 cm
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option E. -> None of these


Volume of the wire (in Cylindrical shape) is equal to the volume of the sphere.  Ï€(16)2 * h = (4/3)Ï€ (12)3 => h = 9 cm


Question 248. The radius of a wheel is 22.4 cm. What is the distance covered by the wheel in making 500 resolutions.
  1.    252 m
  2.    704 m
  3.    352 m
  4.    808 m
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 704 m


In one resolution, the distance covered by the wheel is its own circumference. Distance covered in 500 resolutions. = 500 * 2 * 22/7 * 22.4
= 70400 cm = 704 m


Question 249. The ratio of the volumes of two cubes is 729 : 1331. What is the ratio of their total surface areas?
  1.    81 : 121
  2.    9 : 11
  3.    729 : 1331
  4.    27 : 121
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 81 : 121


Ratio of the sides = ³√729 : ³√1331 = 9 : 11 Ratio of surface areas = 92 : 112 = 81 : 121


Question 250. Find the area of a rhombus whose side is 25 cm and one of the diagonals is 30 cm?
  1.    225 sq.m
  2.    360 sq.m
  3.    720 sq.m
  4.    480 sq.m
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option E. -> None of these


 Find The Area Of A Rhombus Whose Side Is 25 Cm And One Of T...Consider the rhombus ABCD. Let the diagonals intersect at E. Since diagonals bisect at right angles in a rhombus. BE2 + AE2 = AB2 252 = 152 + AE2
AE = √(625 - 225) = √400 = 20, AC = 20 + 20 = 40 cm. Area of a rhombus = 1/2 * d1d2 = 1/2 * 40 * 30 = 600 sq.cm.
