MediumMCQ
An equilateral triangle is cut up into smaller equilateral triangles with side $1/6$ of the original. Find the number of triangles thus formed?
A
$216$
B
$6$
C
$36$
D
$3$

Solution

(C) Let the side of the original equilateral triangle be $x$.
The area of the original triangle is given by $A = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} x^2$.
The side of the smaller equilateral triangle is $\frac{x}{6}$.
The area of one smaller equilateral triangle is $A_{small} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times (\frac{x}{6})^2 = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times \frac{x^2}{36}$.
The number of smaller triangles formed is the ratio of the original area to the area of one smaller triangle:
Number of triangles $= \frac{A}{A_{small}} = \frac{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} x^2}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times \frac{x^2}{36}} = 36$.

MediumMCQ
$A$ square sheet of paper is converted into a cylinder by rolling it along its length. What is the ratio of the base radius of the cylinder to the side of the square?
A
$7 \sqrt{2}: 22$
B
$7: 22$
C
$7: 44$
D
$22: 7$

Solution

(C) Let the side of the square be $x$.
When the square is rolled along its length to form a cylinder,the length of the side becomes the circumference of the base of the cylinder.
Therefore,the circumference of the base $= 2 \pi r = x$.
From this,the radius $r = \frac{x}{2 \pi}$.
The required ratio of the base radius of the cylinder to the side of the square is $\frac{r}{x}$.
Substituting the value of $r$,we get $\frac{\frac{x}{2 \pi}}{x} = \frac{1}{2 \pi}$.
Using $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$,the ratio becomes $\frac{1}{2 \times \frac{22}{7}} = \frac{7}{44}$.
Thus,the ratio is $7: 44$.

DifficultMCQ
$A$ wire when bent in the form of a circle encloses an area of $1386 \, cm^2$. What will be the enclosed area when the same wire is bent into the form of an equilateral triangle?
A
$484 \sqrt{3} \, cm^2$
B
$616 \sqrt{3} \, cm^2$
C
$308 \sqrt{3} \, cm^2$
D
$512 \, cm^2$

Solution

(A) Area of the circle $= 1386 \, cm^2$.
Using the formula for the area of a circle,$\pi r^2 = 1386$.
$\frac{22}{7} \times r^2 = 1386 \implies r^2 = \frac{1386 \times 7}{22} = 63 \times 7 = 441$.
Thus,$r = \sqrt{441} = 21 \, cm$.
The length of the wire is equal to the circumference of the circle: $C = 2 \pi r = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 21 = 132 \, cm$.
When this wire is bent into an equilateral triangle,its perimeter remains $132 \, cm$.
Let the side of the equilateral triangle be $a$. Then $3a = 132$,which gives $a = 44 \, cm$.
The area of an equilateral triangle is given by $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} a^2$.
Area $= \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times 44 \times 44 = \sqrt{3} \times 11 \times 44 = 484 \sqrt{3} \, cm^2$.

DifficultMCQ
The surface area of a spherical part of a bowl with a flat circular detachable cover,excluding the cover,is $616 \, cm^2$. The area of the cover is $38.5 \, cm^2$. What is the volume of the bowl? (in $cm^3$)
A
$1339$
B
$1430$
C
$1570$
D
$2032.69$

Solution

(D) Let the radius of the spherical bowl be $r \, cm$.
The surface area of the hemispherical part (excluding the cover) is given by $2 \pi r^2 = 616 \, cm^2$.
$r^2 = \frac{616 \times 7}{2 \times 22} = \frac{308 \times 7}{22} = 14 \times 7 = 98 \, cm^2$.
$r = \sqrt{98} = 7\sqrt{2} \, cm$.
The volume of a hemispherical bowl is given by $V = \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3$.
$V = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times (7\sqrt{2})^3$.
$V = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 343 \times 2\sqrt{2}$.
$V = \frac{44}{21} \times 686\sqrt{2} = \frac{44 \times 98\sqrt{2}}{3} = \frac{4312\sqrt{2}}{3}$.
Using $\sqrt{2} \approx 1.414$,$V \approx \frac{4312 \times 1.414}{3} \approx 2032.69 \, cm^3$.

MediumMCQ
$A$ hemispherical bowl of internal diameter $54 \ cm$ contains a liquid. The liquid is to be filled in cylindrical bottles of radius $3 \ cm$ and height $9 \ cm$. How many bottles are required to empty the bowl?
A
$221$
B
$343$
C
$81$
D
$162$

Solution

(D) The internal radius of the hemispherical bowl is $R = \frac{54}{2} = 27 \ cm$.
The volume of the hemispherical bowl is $V_{bowl} = \frac{2}{3} \pi R^3 = \frac{2}{3} \pi (27)^3 \ cm^3$.
The volume of one cylindrical bottle is $V_{bottle} = \pi r^2 h = \pi (3)^2 (9) = 81 \pi \ cm^3$.
The number of bottles required is given by the ratio of the total volume of the liquid to the volume of one bottle:
$\text{Number of bottles} = \frac{V_{bowl}}{V_{bottle}} = \frac{\frac{2}{3} \pi (27)^3}{\pi (3)^2 (9)} = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{27 \times 27 \times 27}{9 \times 9} = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{19683}{81} = \frac{2}{3} \times 243 = 2 \times 81 = 162$.
Therefore,$162$ bottles are required to empty the bowl.

MediumMCQ
If half the diagonal of a square is $5 \, cm$,then the area of the square is
A
$20 \sqrt{2} \, cm^{2}$
B
$25 \, cm^{2}$
C
$50 \, cm^{2}$
D
$100 \, cm^{2}$

Solution

(C) Given that half the diagonal of the square is $5 \, cm$.
Therefore,the full length of the diagonal $d = 5 \times 2 = 10 \, cm$.
The area of a square can be calculated using the diagonal formula: $\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times d^{2}$.
Substituting the value of the diagonal: $\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times (10)^{2}$.
$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 100 = 50 \, cm^{2}$.

MediumMCQ
If the side of a square is increased by $50 \%$,the percent increase in its area is: (in $\%$)
A
$50$
B
$100$
C
$125$
D
$150$

Solution

(C) Let the original side of the square be $x$.
Then,the original area $= x^2$.
If the side is increased by $50 \%$,the new side $= x + 0.5x = 1.5x$ or $\frac{3x}{2}$.
The new area $= (1.5x)^2 = 2.25x^2$ or $\frac{9x^2}{4}$.
The increase in area $= 2.25x^2 - x^2 = 1.25x^2$.
The percentage increase in area $= \frac{\text{Increase in area}}{\text{Original area}} \times 100 = \frac{1.25x^2}{x^2} \times 100 = 125 \%$.

EasyMCQ
The ratio of the area of a square to that of the square drawn on its diagonal is
A
$1:1$
B
$1:2$
C
$1:3$
D
$1:4$

Solution

(B) Let the side of the square be $x$.
Then, the area of the square $= x^2$.
The diagonal of the square is given by the formula $d = \sqrt{2} \times \text{side} = \sqrt{2}x$.
The area of the square drawn on its diagonal $= (\text{diagonal})^2 = (\sqrt{2}x)^2 = 2x^2$.
Therefore, the required ratio of the area of the original square to the area of the square drawn on its diagonal is $\frac{x^2}{2x^2} = 1:2$.

MediumMCQ
The diameter of a circle circumscribing a square is $10 \, cm$. Its sides will be
A
$5$
B
$5 \sqrt{2}$
C
$10$
D
$10 \sqrt{2}$

Solution

(B) Given diameter of the circle $= 10 \, cm$.
Since the circle circumscribes the square,the diameter of the circle is equal to the diagonal of the square.
Therefore,diagonal of the square $= 10 \, cm$.
Let the side of the square be $x \, cm$.
The relationship between the diagonal $d$ and the side $x$ of a square is given by $d = x \sqrt{2}$.
Substituting the value of the diagonal,we get $10 = x \sqrt{2}$.
Solving for $x$,we have $x = \frac{10}{\sqrt{2}}$.
Rationalizing the denominator,$x = \frac{10 \times \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{2}} = \frac{10 \sqrt{2}}{2} = 5 \sqrt{2} \, cm$.
Thus,the side of the square is $5 \sqrt{2} \, cm$.

If a square is inscribed in a circle,the ratio of the area of the circle and the square is
A
$2:1$
B
$\pi: 2$
C
$\pi: 1$
D
$11: 7$

Solution

(B) Let the radius of the circle be $r$.
Then,the diameter of the circle $= 2r$.
Since the square is inscribed in the circle,the diagonal of the square is equal to the diameter of the circle.
Diagonal of square $= 2r$.
Let the side of the square be $a$.
Then,$a\sqrt{2} = 2r$,which implies $a = \frac{2r}{\sqrt{2}} = r\sqrt{2}$.
Area of the circle $= \pi r^2$.
Area of the square $= a^2 = (r\sqrt{2})^2 = 2r^2$.
Required ratio $= \frac{\text{Area of circle}}{\text{Area of square}} = \frac{\pi r^2}{2r^2} = \frac{\pi}{2}$.
Thus,the ratio is $\pi: 2$.

Find the number of bricks,each measuring $25\, cm \times 12.5\, cm \times 7.5\, cm$,required to construct a wall $12\, m$ long,$5\, m$ high,and $0.25\, m$ thick,if the sand and cement mixture occupies $5\%$ of the total volume of the wall.
A
$6080$
B
$3040$
C
$1520$
D
$12160$

Solution

(A) $1$. Calculate the total volume of the wall in cubic centimeters $(cm^3)$:
Wall dimensions are $12\, m \times 5\, m \times 0.25\, m$.
Converting to $cm$: $1200\, cm \times 500\, cm \times 25\, cm = 15,000,000\, cm^3$.
$2$. Calculate the volume occupied by the bricks:
The mortar (sand and cement) occupies $5\%$ of the total volume,so the bricks occupy $95\%$ of the total volume.
Volume of bricks $= 0.95 \times 15,000,000\, cm^3 = 14,250,000\, cm^3$.
$3$. Calculate the volume of one brick:
Volume $= 25\, cm \times 12.5\, cm \times 7.5\, cm = 2343.75\, cm^3$.
$4$. Calculate the number of bricks required:
Number of bricks $= \frac{\text{Volume of bricks}}{\text{Volume of one brick}} = \frac{14,250,000}{2343.75} = 6080$.

In a swimming pool measuring $90\, m$ by $40\, m$,$150$ men take a dip. If the average displacement of water by a man is $8\, m^3$,what will be the rise in water level? (in $cm$)
A
$30$
B
$50$
C
$20$
D
$33.33$

Solution

(D) The average displacement of water by one man is $8\, m^3$.
The total displacement of water by $150$ men is $150 \times 8\, m^3 = 1200\, m^3$.
Let the rise in the water level be $h$ meters.
The volume of the displaced water is equal to the area of the pool multiplied by the rise in height: $90\, m \times 40\, m \times h = 1200\, m^3$.
$3600 \times h = 1200$.
$h = \frac{1200}{3600} = \frac{1}{3}\, m$.
To convert the height into centimeters,multiply by $100$: $h = \frac{1}{3} \times 100 = 33.33\, cm$.

$A$ hollow spherical shell is made of a metal of density $4.9 \, g/cm^3$. If its internal and external radii are $10 \, cm$ and $12 \, cm$ respectively,find the weight of the shell. (Take $\pi = 3.1416$) (in $gm$)
A
$5016$
B
$1416.8$
C
$14942.28$
D
$5667.1$

Solution

(C) Internal radius,$r = 10 \, cm$.
External radius,$R = 12 \, cm$.
Volume of metal in the shell $= \frac{4}{3} \pi (R^3 - r^3)$.
Volume $= \frac{4}{3} \times 3.1416 \times (12^3 - 10^3) = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.1416 \times (1728 - 1000) = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.1416 \times 728 \, cm^3$.
Weight of the shell $= \text{Volume} \times \text{Density}$.
Weight $= (\frac{4}{3} \times 3.1416 \times 728) \times 4.9 = 3049.4432 \times 4.9 = 14942.27168 \, gm \approx 14942.28 \, gm$.

The dimensions of a field are $20 \text{ m}$ by $9 \text{ m}$. $A$ pit $10 \text{ m}$ long,$4.5 \text{ m}$ wide and $3 \text{ m}$ deep is dug in one corner of the field and the earth removed has been evenly spread over the remaining area of the field. What will be the rise in the height of the field as a result of this operation? (in $m$)
A
$1.5$
B
$2$
C
$3$
D
$1$

Solution

(D) Volume of earth removed $= 10 \text{ m} \times 4.5 \text{ m} \times 3 \text{ m} = 135 \text{ m}^3$.
Total area of the field $= 20 \text{ m} \times 9 \text{ m} = 180 \text{ m}^2$.
Area of the pit $= 10 \text{ m} \times 4.5 \text{ m} = 45 \text{ m}^2$.
Remaining area of the field $= 180 \text{ m}^2 - 45 \text{ m}^2 = 135 \text{ m}^2$.
Let the rise in the height of the field be $h \text{ m}$.
Since the earth removed is spread over the remaining area,the volume of the earth removed equals the volume of the raised layer:
$135 \text{ m}^2 \times h \text{ m} = 135 \text{ m}^3$.
Solving for $h$:
$h = \frac{135}{135} = 1 \text{ m}$.
Therefore,the rise in the height of the field is $1 \text{ m}$.

If the curved surface area of a cone is thrice that of another cone and the slant height of the second cone is thrice that of the first,find the ratio of the area of their bases. (in $:1$)
A
$81$
B
$9$
C
$3$
D
$27$

Solution

(A) Let the radius and slant height of the first cone be $r_1$ and $l_1$,and for the second cone be $r_2$ and $l_2$.
Given that the curved surface area of the first cone is thrice that of the second cone: $\pi r_1 l_1 = 3(\pi r_2 l_2)$.
Also,given that the slant height of the second cone is thrice that of the first: $l_2 = 3l_1$.
Substituting $l_2$ in the first equation: $\pi r_1 l_1 = 3(\pi r_2 \cdot 3l_1)$.
Simplifying: $r_1 l_1 = 9 r_2 l_1$.
Dividing both sides by $l_1$: $r_1 = 9r_2$,which implies $\frac{r_1}{r_2} = 9$.
The ratio of the area of their bases is $\frac{\pi r_1^2}{\pi r_2^2} = \left(\frac{r_1}{r_2}\right)^2 = 9^2 = 81$.
Thus,the ratio is $81:1$.

C

D
$\sqrt{3}-\frac{\pi}{4}$

Solution

(C) The centers of the three circles form an equilateral triangle $\Delta ABC$ with each side length $a = 1 + 1 = 2\, cm$.
The area of an equilateral triangle is given by $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} a^2$.
Area of $\Delta ABC = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times (2)^2 = \sqrt{3}\, cm^2$.
Each interior angle of an equilateral triangle is $60^{\circ}$.
The area of a circular sector with radius $r$ and angle $\theta$ is $\frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}} \times \pi r^2$.
Here,$r = 1\, cm$ and $\theta = 60^{\circ}$.
Area of one sector = $\frac{60^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times \pi (1)^2 = \frac{1}{6} \pi\, cm^2$.
Since there are three such sectors inside the triangle,the total area of the three sectors = $3 \times \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{\pi}{2}\, cm^2$.
The area of the shaded region is the area of the triangle minus the sum of the areas of the three sectors.
Area of shaded region = $\sqrt{3} - \frac{\pi}{2}\, cm^2$.

Three equal cubes are placed adjacently in a row. Find the ratio of the total surface area of the new cuboid to the sum of the surface areas of the three cubes.
A
$7:9$
B
$49:81$
C
$9:7$
D
$27:23$

Solution

(A) Let the edge of each cube be $a$.
When three such cubes are placed adjacently in a row,they form a cuboid.
The dimensions of this new cuboid are: Length $(l) = 3a$,Breadth $(b) = a$,and Height $(h) = a$.
The total surface area of the new cuboid is given by the formula $2(lb + bh + lh)$.
Substituting the values: $2(3a \times a + a \times a + 3a \times a) = 2(3a^2 + a^2 + 3a^2) = 2(7a^2) = 14a^2$.
The surface area of one cube is $6a^2$. Therefore,the sum of the surface areas of the three cubes is $3 \times 6a^2 = 18a^2$.
The required ratio is $\frac{14a^2}{18a^2} = \frac{7}{9}$,which is $7:9$.

The radius of a right circular cylinder is increased by $50 \% .$ Find the percentage increase in volume (in $\%$)?
A
$120$
B
$75$
C
$150$
D
$125$

Solution

(D) Let the initial radius be $r = 10$ and height be $H$.
Initial volume $V_1 = \pi r^2 H = \pi (10)^2 H = 100 \pi H$.
Since the radius is increased by $50 \%$,the new radius $r' = 10 + (50 \% \text{ of } 10) = 10 + 5 = 15$.
The height $H$ remains constant.
New volume $V_2 = \pi (r')^2 H = \pi (15)^2 H = 225 \pi H$.
The increase in volume $= V_2 - V_1 = 225 \pi H - 100 \pi H = 125 \pi H$.
Percentage increase in volume $= \left( \frac{V_2 - V_1}{V_1} \right) \times 100 = \left( \frac{125 \pi H}{100 \pi H} \right) \times 100 = 125 \%.$

Water flows out at the rate of $10 \, m/min$ from a cylindrical pipe of diameter $5 \, mm$. Find the time taken to fill a conical tank whose diameter at the surface is $40 \, cm$ and depth is $24 \, cm$ (in $min$)?
A
$50$
B
$102.4$
C
$51.2$
D
$25.6$

Solution

(C) Radius of the cylindrical pipe $r_p = 2.5 \, mm = 0.25 \, cm$.
Length of water column flowing in one minute $h_p = 10 \, m = 1000 \, cm$.
Volume of water flowing out in one minute $V_p = \pi r_p^2 h_p = \pi (0.25)^2 (1000) = 62.5 \pi \, cm^3$.
Radius of the conical tank $R = 20 \, cm$ and depth $H = 24 \, cm$.
Volume of the conical tank $V_t = \frac{1}{3} \pi R^2 H = \frac{1}{3} \pi (20)^2 (24) = 3200 \pi \, cm^3$.
Time taken to fill the tank $T = \frac{V_t}{V_p} = \frac{3200 \pi}{62.5 \pi} = 51.2 \, min$.

C
$90.8\, cm, 827.4\, cm^2$
D
$181.6\, cm, 827.4\, cm^2$

Solution

(A) Area of the shaded portion = (Area of the rectangle) - (Area of the four sectors).
Each sector is a quadrant of a circle with radius $r = 10\, cm$. The four quadrants together form a full circle of radius $10\, cm$.
Area of the rectangle = $28\, cm \times 26\, cm = 728\, cm^2$.
Area of the circle = $\pi r^2 = 3.1416 \times (10)^2 = 314.16\, cm^2$.
Area of the shaded portion = $728 - 314.16 = 413.84\, cm^2 \approx 414\, cm^2$.
Perimeter of the shaded portion = (Sum of the straight edges) + (Sum of the arc lengths of the four sectors).
The straight edges are: $(28 - 10 - 10) + (28 - 10 - 10) + (26 - 10 - 10) + (26 - 10 - 10) = 8 + 8 + 6 + 6 = 28\, cm$.
The four arcs form a full circle circumference: $2\pi r = 2 \times 3.1416 \times 10 = 62.832\, cm$.
Total Perimeter = $28 + 62.832 = 90.832\, cm \approx 90.8\, cm$.

$A$ cylindrical container whose diameter is $12\,cm$ and height is $15\,cm$,is filled with ice cream. The whole ice cream is distributed to $10$ children in equal cones having hemispherical tops. If the height of the conical portion is twice the diameter of its base,find the diameter of the ice-cream cone? (in $cm$)
A
$6$
B
$12$
C
$3$
D
$18$

Solution

(A) Volume of the cylindrical container $= \pi r^2 h = \pi \times (6)^2 \times 15 = 540\pi \, cm^3$.
This ice cream is distributed equally among $10$ children,so the volume of one ice cream unit $= \frac{540\pi}{10} = 54\pi \, cm^3$.
Let the diameter of the base of the cone be $D$. Then the radius $r = \frac{D}{2}$.
The height of the conical portion is given as $h = 2D$.
The volume of one ice cream unit (cone + hemisphere) $= \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h + \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3$.
Substituting $r = \frac{D}{2}$ and $h = 2D$:
Volume $= \frac{1}{3}\pi (\frac{D}{2})^2 (2D) + \frac{2}{3}\pi (\frac{D}{2})^3 = \frac{1}{3}\pi (\frac{D^2}{4}) (2D) + \frac{2}{3}\pi (\frac{D^3}{8}) = \frac{\pi D^3}{6} + \frac{\pi D^3}{12} = \frac{2\pi D^3 + \pi D^3}{12} = \frac{3\pi D^3}{12} = \frac{\pi D^3}{4}$.
Equating the volumes: $\frac{\pi D^3}{4} = 54\pi$.
$D^3 = 54 \times 4 = 216$.
$D = \sqrt[3]{216} = 6 \, cm$.

$A$ tank $4 \, m$ long, $2.5 \, m$ wide, and $6 \, m$ deep is dug in a field $10 \, m$ long and $9 \, m$ wide. If the earth dugout is evenly spread over the field, the rise in level of the field will be (in $cm$):
A
$80$
B
$75$
C
$60$
D
$30$

Solution

(B) Volume of the earth dug out $= 4 \times 2.5 \times 6 \, m^3 = 60 \, m^3$.
Area of the field where the earth is spread $= (\text{Total area of field}) - (\text{Area of the tank opening})$.
Area of the field $= 10 \times 9 = 90 \, m^2$.
Area of the tank opening $= 4 \times 2.5 = 10 \, m^2$.
Area of the remaining portion $= 90 - 10 = 80 \, m^2$.
Let the rise in the level of the field be $h$.
Volume of earth spread $= \text{Area of remaining portion} \times h$.
$60 = 80 \times h$.
$h = \frac{60}{80} = 0.75 \, m$.
Since $1 \, m = 100 \, cm$, the rise in level $= 0.75 \times 100 = 75 \, cm$.

$15.7$

Solution

(D) Internal dimensions: $L = 86\, cm, B = 46\, cm, H = 38\, cm.$
Since the box is open at the top and made of $2\, cm$ thick wood:
External length $= 86 + 2 + 2 = 90\, cm = 0.9\, m.$
External breadth $= 46 + 2 + 2 = 50\, cm = 0.5\, m.$
External height $= 38 + 2 = 40\, cm = 0.4\, m$ (only bottom is added).
Outer surface area of an open box $= (2 \times \text{External Height} \times (\text{External Length} + \text{External Breadth})) + (\text{External Length} \times \text{External Breadth})$.
Area $= (2 \times 0.4 \times (0.9 + 0.5)) + (0.9 \times 0.5) = (0.8 \times 1.4) + 0.45 = 1.12 + 0.45 = 1.57\, m^2$.
Cost of painting $= 1.57\, m^2 \times 10\, Rs./m^2 = 15.7\, Rs.$

$A$ rectangular tin sheet is $22 \ m$ long and $8 \ m$ broad. It is rolled along its length to form a cylinder by making the opposite edges just to touch each other. The volume of the cylinder (in $m^3$) is
A
$385$
B
$204$
C
$280 \pi$
D
$308$

Solution

(D) The sheet is rolled along its length.
Let the radius of the cylinder be $r$.
The length of the sheet becomes the circumference of the base of the cylinder.
$2 \pi r = 22 \ m$
$2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r = 22$
$r = \frac{7}{2} \ m = 3.5 \ m$
The breadth of the sheet becomes the height of the cylinder.
$h = 8 \ m$
The volume of the cylinder is given by $V = \pi r^2 h$.
$V = \frac{22}{7} \times (3.5)^2 \times 8$
$V = \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{7}{2} \times \frac{7}{2} \times 8$
$V = 11 \times 7 \times 4 = 308 \ m^3$.

What is the area of the shaded portion if each side of the square measures $21\,cm$? (in $cm^2$)
Question diagram
A
$86.5$
B
$102$
C
$94.5$
D
$81.5$

Solution

(C) The area of the shaded portion is calculated by subtracting the area of the circle from the area of the square.
Given,side of the square $(a)$ $= 21\,cm$.
Radius of the circle $(r)$ $= 10.5\,cm$.
Area of the square $= a^2 = 21 \times 21 = 441\,cm^2$.
Area of the circle $= \pi r^2 = \frac{22}{7} \times 10.5 \times 10.5 = 22 \times 1.5 \times 10.5 = 346.5\,cm^2$.
Area of the shaded portion $= 441 - 346.5 = 94.5\,cm^2$.

$A$ circle is inscribed in an equilateral triangle of side $8 \text{ cm}$. The area of the portion between the triangle and the circle is ...... $\text{cm}^2$.
A
$11$
B
$10.95$
C
$10$
D
$10.50$

Solution

(B) The side length of the equilateral triangle is $a = 8 \text{ cm}$.
The inradius $r$ of an equilateral triangle is given by the formula $r = \frac{a}{2\sqrt{3}}$.
Substituting the value of $a$,we get $r = \frac{8}{2\sqrt{3}} = \frac{4}{\sqrt{3}} \text{ cm}$.
The area of the incircle is $A_c = \pi r^2 = \pi \left( \frac{4}{\sqrt{3}} \right)^2 = \pi \times \frac{16}{3} \text{ cm}^2$.
The area of the equilateral triangle is $A_t = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} a^2 = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} (8)^2 = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times 64 = 16\sqrt{3} \text{ cm}^2$.
The area of the portion between the triangle and the circle is $A = A_t - A_c = 16\sqrt{3} - \frac{16\pi}{3}$.
Using $\sqrt{3} \approx 1.732$ and $\pi \approx 3.14159$:
$A = 16(1.732) - \frac{16(3.14159)}{3} \approx 27.712 - 16.755 = 10.957 \text{ cm}^2$.
Rounding to two decimal places,the area is approximately $10.95 \text{ cm}^2$.

B
$2 \sqrt{7} \, cm^2$
C
$4 \sqrt{35} \, cm^2$
D
$8 \sqrt{35} \, cm^2$

Solution

(C) The semi-perimeter $(s)$ of the given triangle with sides $a = 12 \, cm$,$b = 18 \, cm$,and $c = 26 \, cm$ is calculated as:
$s = \frac{12 + 18 + 26}{2} = \frac{56}{2} = 28 \, cm$.
Using Heron's formula,the area of the triangle is:
Area $= \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)} = \sqrt{28(28-12)(28-18)(28-26)}$
Area $= \sqrt{28 \times 16 \times 10 \times 2} = \sqrt{8960} = \sqrt{256 \times 35} = 16 \sqrt{35} \, cm^2$.
The triangle formed by joining the mid-points of the sides of a triangle has an area equal to one-fourth of the area of the original triangle.
Area of the new triangle $= \frac{1}{4} \times 16 \sqrt{35} = 4 \sqrt{35} \, cm^2$.

A
$7430.68$
B
$713.04$
C
$753.26$
D

Solution

(D) The dimensions of the ground are $19.25$ $m$ and $12.5$ $m$ (since $1$ $dm = 0.1$ $m$).
There are two paths: one parallel to the length and one parallel to the width.
The area of the path parallel to the length is $19.25 \times 2 = 38.5$ $m^2$.
The area of the path parallel to the width is $12.5 \times 2 = 25$ $m^2$.
The intersection of these two paths is a square of side $2$ $m$,which has been counted twice. Its area is $2 \times 2 = 4$ $m^2$.
Total area of the paths $= 38.5 + 25 - 4 = 59.5$ $m^2$.

B

C

D
$352$

Solution

(A) Given: $OP = 14 \, cm$ and $PQ = 14 \, cm$. Therefore,$OQ = OP + PQ = 14 + 14 = 28 \, cm$.
The shaded region is bounded by three semicircular arcs:
$1$. The arc of the semicircle with diameter $OQ$ (length = $\frac{1}{2} \pi \times 28 = 14\pi \, cm$).
$2$. The arc of the semicircle with diameter $OP$ (length = $\frac{1}{2} \pi \times 14 = 7\pi \, cm$).
$3$. The arc of the semicircle with diameter $PQ$ (length = $\frac{1}{2} \pi \times 14 = 7\pi \, cm$).
The perimeter of the shaded area is the sum of the lengths of these three arcs:
Perimeter = $14\pi + 7\pi + 7\pi = 28\pi \, cm$.
Using $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$,we get:
Perimeter = $28 \times \frac{22}{7} = 4 \times 22 = 88 \, cm$.

The circumference of a circular field is $440 \, m$. $A$ circular path of $10 \, m$ width runs around the outside of the field. Find the cost of gravelling the path at the rate of $70 \, \text{paise}$ per square metre? (in $Rs.$)
A
$2200$
B
$3300$
C
$264$
D
Cannot be determined

Solution

(B) The circumference of the circular field is $2 \pi r = 440 \, m$.
$2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r = 440 \, m \Rightarrow r = 70 \, m$.
The width of the path is $10 \, m$.
The radius of the outer circle is $R = r + 10 = 70 + 10 = 80 \, m$.
The area of the path is $\pi(R^2 - r^2) = \frac{22}{7} \times (80^2 - 70^2) = \frac{22}{7} \times (6400 - 4900) = \frac{22}{7} \times 1500 \, m^2$.
The rate of gravelling is $70 \, \text{paise} = 0.70 \, Rs. / m^2$.
The total cost $= \text{Area} \times \text{Rate} = \frac{22}{7} \times 1500 \times 0.70 = 22 \times 1500 \times 0.1 = 3300 \, Rs.$

$A$ rectangular field costs $Rs. 110$ for levelling at $50$ $paise$ per square metre. If the ratio of length to breadth is $11: 5$, find the length of the field (in $m$).
A
$16$
B
$21$
C
$22$
D
$23$

Solution

(C) The ratio of length to breadth is $11: 5$.
Let the length be $11x$ and the breadth be $5x$.
The cost of levelling is $Rs. 110$ at a rate of $50$ $paise$ (or $Rs. 0.50$) per square metre.
Area of the rectangular field $= \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Rate}} = \frac{110}{0.50} = 220 \text{ m}^2$.
Since Area $= \text{length} \times \text{breadth}$, we have $11x \times 5x = 220$.
$55x^2 = 220$.
$x^2 = \frac{220}{55} = 4$.
$x = 2$.
Therefore, the length of the field $= 11x = 11 \times 2 = 22 \text{ m}$.

A
$12$
B
$20$
C
$21$
D
$18.5$

Solution

(B) Let the breadth of the rectangular plot be $x\, m$.
Then,the length of the plot is $4x\, m$.
Given that the area is $4$ hectares. Since $1\, \text{hectare} = 10,000\, m^2$,the area is $40,000\, m^2$.
Area $= \text{length} \times \text{breadth} = 4x \times x = 4x^2$.
So,$4x^2 = 40,000$,which implies $x^2 = 10,000$,so $x = 100\, m$.
Thus,the breadth is $100\, m$ and the length is $400\, m$.
The perimeter of the rectangular plot $= 2 \times (\text{length} + \text{breadth}) = 2 \times (400 + 100) = 2 \times 500 = 1,000\, m = 1\, km$.
The speed of the dog is $3\, km/hr$.
Time taken $= \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} = \frac{1\, km}{3\, km/hr} = \frac{1}{3}\, \text{hours}$.
Since $1\, \text{hour} = 60\, \text{minutes}$,the time taken $= \frac{1}{3} \times 60 = 20\, \text{minutes}$.

A
$12321$
B
$11100$
C
$74000$
D
$12301$

Solution

(A) The length of the outer rectangle is $L = 63 \ m$ and the breadth is $B = 54 \ m$.
The area of the outer rectangle is $63 \times 54 = 3402 \ m^2$.
Since the path is $3 \ m$ wide inside,the length of the inner rectangle is $l = 63 - (2 \times 3) = 63 - 6 = 57 \ m$.
The breadth of the inner rectangle is $b = 54 - (2 \times 3) = 54 - 6 = 48 \ m$.
The area of the inner rectangle is $57 \times 48 = 2736 \ m^2$.
The area of the path is the difference between the outer and inner areas: $3402 - 2736 = 666 \ m^2$.
The cost of paving the path is given by $\text{Area} \times \text{Rate} = 666 \times \frac{37}{2} = 333 \times 37 = 12321 \ Rs.$

A
$368$
B
$640$
C
$625$
D

Solution

(B) The dimensions of the room are: length $(l) = 7.5 \text{ m}$,breadth $(b) = 6.5 \text{ m}$,and height $(h) = 6 \text{ m}$.
Area of the four walls $= 2(l + b) \times h = 2(7.5 + 6.5) \times 6 = 2(14) \times 6 = 168 \text{ m}^2$.
Area to be covered by paper $=$ Total area of walls $-$ Area of doors $= 168 \text{ m}^2 - 8 \text{ m}^2 = 160 \text{ m}^2$.
Width of the paper $= 2.5 \text{ dm} = 0.25 \text{ m}$.
Length of the paper $= \frac{\text{Area to be covered}}{\text{Width of paper}} = \frac{160}{0.25} = 640 \text{ m}$.

The area of a rectangular football field is $24200 \ m^2$. Its breadth is half of its length. What is the approximate minimum distance a man will cover if he wishes to go from one corner to the opposite corner? (in $m$)
A
$283$
B
$246$
C
$576$
D
$289$

Solution

(B) Let the length of the field be $L$ and the breadth be $B$.
Given that $B = L / 2$,or $L = 2B$.
The area of the rectangle is $L \times B = 24200 \ m^2$.
Substituting $L = 2B$,we get $(2B) \times B = 24200$,which simplifies to $2B^2 = 24200$.
Dividing by $2$,we get $B^2 = 12100$,so $B = \sqrt{12100} = 110 \ m$.
Then,the length $L = 2 \times 110 = 220 \ m$.
The minimum distance between opposite corners is the diagonal of the rectangle,given by $d = \sqrt{L^2 + B^2}$.
$d = \sqrt{220^2 + 110^2} = \sqrt{48400 + 12100} = \sqrt{60500}$.
$d = 110 \times \sqrt{5} \approx 110 \times 2.236 = 245.96 \ m$.
Rounding to the nearest whole number,the distance is approximately $246 \ m$.

The volume of the smaller cube with edge $3\, cm$ is $V_2 = 3^3 = 27\, cm^3$.
The number of smaller cubes that can be cut out is given by the ratio of the volumes:

A

B
$22$
C
$18$
D
$21$

Solution

(B) The volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of the sphere submerged in the water.
Radius of the sphere $(r_s)$ = $30 \ cm$.
Radius of the cylindrical vessel $(r_c)$ = $\text{Diameter} / 2 = 80 \ cm / 2 = 40 \ cm$.
Let the rise in water level be $x \ cm$.
The volume of the displaced water in the cylinder is given by $\pi \times (r_c)^2 \times x$.
The volume of the sphere is given by $\frac{4}{3} \pi \times (r_s)^3$.
Equating the two volumes: $\pi \times (40)^2 \times x = \frac{4}{3} \pi \times (30)^3$.
$1600 \times x = \frac{4}{3} \times 27000$.
$1600 \times x = 4 \times 9000$.
$1600 \times x = 36000$.
$x = 36000 / 1600 = 360 / 16 = 22.5 \ cm$.
Thus,the level of water rises by $22.5 \ cm$.

C

D

Solution

(B) The total cost of repairing the road is $Rs. 22176$ at a rate of $Rs. 1$ per $sq. m$.
Therefore,the area of the circular road is $\frac{22176}{1} = 22176 \ m^2$.
Let the inner radius be $r = 112 \ m$ and the outer radius be $R$.
The area of the circular road is given by $\pi(R^2 - r^2) = 22176$.
Substituting the values: $\frac{22}{7} \times (R^2 - 112^2) = 22176$.
$R^2 - 12544 = 22176 \times \frac{7}{22}$.
$R^2 - 12544 = 1008 \times 7 = 7056$.
$R^2 = 7056 + 12544 = 19600$.
$R = \sqrt{19600} = 140 \ m$.
The width of the road is $R - r = 140 - 112 = 28 \ m$.

Solution

(C) The rectangle is inscribed in the circle. The diagonal of the rectangle is equal to the diameter of the circle.
Diagonal of the rectangle $= \sqrt{6^2 + 8^2} = \sqrt{36 + 64} = \sqrt{100} = 10 \ cm$.
Therefore,the diameter of the circle $= 10 \ cm$,and the radius $r = 10/2 = 5 \ cm$.
Area of the circle $= \pi r^2 = (22/7) \times 5 \times 5 = 550/7 \approx 78.57 \ cm^2$.
Area of the rectangle $= \text{length} \times \text{breadth} = 8 \times 6 = 48 \ cm^2$.
Area of the shaded region $= \text{Area of the circle} - \text{Area of the rectangle} = 78.57 - 48 = 30.57 \ cm^2$.

A
$44\, cm$
B
$44 \sqrt{2}\, cm$
C
$88\, cm$
D
$22 \sqrt{2}\, cm$

Solution

(B) The perimeter of the circle is equal to the circumference,which is $2 \pi r$.
Given $r = 28\, cm$,the circumference is $2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 28 = 176\, cm$.
Since the wire is bent into a square,the perimeter of the square is equal to the circumference of the circle.
Let $a$ be the side of the square. Then $4a = 176\, cm$,which gives $a = 44\, cm$.
The diagonal of a square is given by the formula $d = a \sqrt{2}$.
Substituting the value of $a$,we get $d = 44 \sqrt{2}\, cm$.

A
$69125$
B
$60025$
C
$391025$
D
$60125$

Solution

(B) According to the Pythagorean theorem,in a right-angled triangle,the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
Let the base $b = 36015 \ cm$ and the perpendicular $p = 48020 \ cm$.
Hypotenuse $h = \sqrt{b^2 + p^2}$.
$h = \sqrt{(36015)^2 + (48020)^2}$.
We can simplify this by taking out common factors: $36015 = 12005 \times 3$ and $48020 = 12005 \times 4$.
So,$h = \sqrt{(12005 \times 3)^2 + (12005 \times 4)^2} = 12005 \times \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2}$.
$h = 12005 \times \sqrt{9 + 16} = 12005 \times \sqrt{25} = 12005 \times 5$.
$h = 60025 \ cm$.

D
$0.24$

Solution

(A) Let the side of the equilateral triangle be $a$.
Perimeter of the equilateral triangle $= 3a$.
Given,$3a = 72 \sqrt{3} \text{ cm}$.
Therefore,$a = 24 \sqrt{3} \text{ cm}$.
The height $h$ of an equilateral triangle is given by the formula $h = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} a$.
Substituting the value of $a$:
$h = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times (24 \sqrt{3}) \text{ cm}$.
$h = \frac{3}{2} \times 24 \text{ cm} = 36 \text{ cm}$.
To convert the height into meters,divide by $100$:
$h = \frac{36}{100} \text{ m} = 0.36 \text{ m}$.

Solution

(B) Let the radius of the inner circle be $r$ and the radius of the outer circle be $R$.
Given,inner circumference $= 2 \pi r = 440 \, cm$.
Using $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$,we have $2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r = 440$.
$r = \frac{440 \times 7}{44} = 70 \, cm$.
The track is $14 \, cm$ wide,so the outer radius $R = r + 14 = 70 + 14 = 84 \, cm$.
The diameter of the outer circle is $D = 2R = 2 \times 84 = 168 \, cm$.

C

Solution

(B) The volume of a cube with side $a$ is given by $V = a^3$.
The volumes of the three given cubes are:
$V_1 = (6\, cm)^3 = 216\, cm^3$
$V_2 = (8\, cm)^3 = 512\, cm^3$
$V_3 = (10\, cm)^3 = 1000\, cm^3$
When these cubes are melted together,the total volume $V_{total}$ of the new cube is the sum of the individual volumes:
$V_{total} = V_1 + V_2 + V_3 = 216 + 512 + 1000 = 1728\, cm^3$
Let the side of the new cube be $a$. Then:
$a^3 = 1728$
$a = \sqrt[3]{1728}$

Find the curved and total surface area of a conical flask of radius $6\, cm$ and height $8\, cm$.
A
$60\, \pi,\, 96\, \pi$
B
$20\, \pi,\, 96\, \pi$
C
$60\, \pi,\, 48\, \pi$
D
$30\, \pi,\, 48\, \pi$

Solution

(A) Given: Radius $(r) = 6\, cm$,Height $(h) = 8\, cm$.
First,calculate the slant height $(l)$ using the formula $l = \sqrt{r^2 + h^2}$.
$l = \sqrt{6^2 + 8^2} = \sqrt{36 + 64} = \sqrt{100} = 10\, cm$.
Now,calculate the curved surface area $(CSA) = \pi r l$.
$CSA = \pi \times 6 \times 10 = 60\pi\, cm^2$.
Next,calculate the total surface area $(TSA) = \pi r l + \pi r^2$.
$TSA = 60\pi + \pi(6)^2 = 60\pi + 36\pi = 96\pi\, cm^2$.
Thus,the curved surface area is $60\pi\, cm^2$ and the total surface area is $96\pi\, cm^2$.

$A$ silver wire when bent in the form of a square,encloses an area of $484 \, cm^{2}$. Now if the same wire is bent to form a circle,the area enclosed by the circle would be? (in $cm^{2}$)
A
$308$
B
$196$
C
$616$
D
$88$

Solution

(C) The perimeter of the wire remains constant regardless of the shape.
Let the side of the square be $a \, cm$.
Given,area of the square $= a^{2} = 484 \, cm^{2}$.
Therefore,$a = \sqrt{484} = 22 \, cm$.
Perimeter of the square $= 4a = 4 \times 22 = 88 \, cm$.
Since the same wire is used to form a circle,the circumference of the circle is equal to the perimeter of the square.
Let the radius of the circle be $r \, cm$.
Circumference $= 2\pi r = 88 \, cm$.
$2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r = 88$.
$r = \frac{88 \times 7}{44} = 14 \, cm$.
Area of the circle $= \pi r^{2} = \frac{22}{7} \times 14 \times 14 = 22 \times 2 \times 14 = 616 \, cm^{2}$.

How many metres of cloth $5\, m$ wide will be required to make a conical tent,the radius of whose base is $7\, m$ and height is $24\, m ?$ (in $m$)
A
$55$
B
$330$
C
$220$
D
$110$

Solution

(D) The slant height $l$ of the cone is given by $l = \sqrt{r^2 + h^2}$.
Given $r = 7\, m$ and $h = 24\, m$,we have $l = \sqrt{7^2 + 24^2} = \sqrt{49 + 576} = \sqrt{625} = 25\, m$.
The area of the cloth required is equal to the curved surface area of the cone,which is $\pi rl$.
Area $= \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 25 = 550\, m^2$.
Since the width of the cloth is $5\, m$,the length of the cloth required is $\frac{\text{Area}}{\text{Width}} = \frac{550}{5} = 110\, m$.

Seven equal cubes each of side $5 \, cm$ are joined end to end. Find the surface area of the resulting cuboid? (in $cm^2$)
A
$750$
B
$1500$
C
$2250$
D
$700$

Solution

(A) When $7$ cubes of side $s = 5 \, cm$ are joined end to end,they form a cuboid.
The length $(l)$ of the resulting cuboid is $7 \times 5 \, cm = 35 \, cm$.
The breadth $(b)$ and height $(h)$ of the cuboid remain the same as the side of the cube,so $b = 5 \, cm$ and $h = 5 \, cm$.
The surface area of a cuboid is given by the formula: $SA = 2(lb + bh + hl)$.
Substituting the values: $SA = 2(35 \times 5 + 5 \times 5 + 5 \times 35)$.
$SA = 2(175 + 25 + 175)$.
$SA = 2(375) = 750 \, cm^2$.

$A$ cuboid of dimension $24 \text{ cm} \times 9 \text{ cm} \times 8 \text{ cm}$ is melted and smaller cubes of side $3 \text{ cm}$ are formed. Find how many such cubes can be formed?
A
$27$
B
$64$
C
$54$
D
$32$

Solution

(B) The volume of the cuboid is given by $V_{\text{cuboid}} = \text{length} \times \text{breadth} \times \text{height} = 24 \text{ cm} \times 9 \text{ cm} \times 8 \text{ cm} = 1728 \text{ cm}^3$.
The volume of one smaller cube is given by $V_{\text{cube}} = \text{side}^3 = 3 \text{ cm} \times 3 \text{ cm} \times 3 \text{ cm} = 27 \text{ cm}^3$.
The number of cubes that can be formed is equal to the total volume of the cuboid divided by the volume of one cube.
$\text{Number of cubes} = \frac{V_{\text{cuboid}}}{V_{\text{cube}}} = \frac{24 \times 9 \times 8}{3 \times 3 \times 3} = \frac{1728}{27} = 64$.
