MediumMCQ
The largest cone is formed at the base of a cube of side measuring $7 \ cm$. Find the ratio of the volume of the cone to the volume of the cube.
A
$20:21$
B
$22:21$
C
$21:22$
D
$11:42$

Solution

(D) The side of the cube is $a = 7 \ cm$.
Volume of the cube $= a^3 = 7^3 = 343 \ cm^3$.
The largest cone inscribed in the cube will have a base diameter equal to the side of the cube and a height equal to the side of the cube.
Radius of the cone $(r) = \frac{a}{2} = \frac{7}{2} = 3.5 \ cm$.
Height of the cone $(h) = a = 7 \ cm$.
Volume of the cone $= \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times (3.5)^2 \times 7 = \frac{1}{3} \times 22 \times 12.25 = \frac{269.5}{3} \approx 89.83 \ cm^3$.
Ratio of the volume of the cone to the volume of the cube $= \frac{\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h}{a^3} = \frac{\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times (\frac{7}{2})^2 \times 7}{7^3} = \frac{\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{49}{4} \times 7}{343} = \frac{\frac{1}{3} \times 22 \times \frac{49}{4}}{343} = \frac{11 \times 49}{6 \times 343} = \frac{11}{6 \times 7} = \frac{11}{42}$.
Thus,the ratio is $11:42$.

The total surface area of a rectangular block is $8788 \text{ cm}^2$. If the length,breadth,and height are in the ratio $4:3:2$,find the length (in $\text{cm}$).
A
$26$
B
$52$
C
$104$
D
$13$

Solution

(B) Let the common ratio be $x$.
Then,length $l = 4x$,breadth $b = 3x$,and height $h = 2x$.
The total surface area of a rectangular block is given by the formula $2(lb + bh + lh)$.
According to the problem,$2(4x \cdot 3x + 3x \cdot 2x + 2x \cdot 4x) = 8788$.
$2(12x^2 + 6x^2 + 8x^2) = 8788$.
$2(26x^2) = 8788$.
$52x^2 = 8788$.
$x^2 = \frac{8788}{52} = 169$.
$x = \sqrt{169} = 13$.
Therefore,the length is $l = 4x = 4 \times 13 = 52 \text{ cm}$.

MediumMCQ
In a shower,$10\, cm$ of rain falls. What will be the volume of water that falls on $1$ hectare area of ground? (in $m^3$)
A
$500$
B
$650$
C
$1000$
D
$750$

Solution

(C) Given that $1$ hectare $= 10000\, m^2$.
The height of the rainfall is $10\, cm$.
Convert the height into meters: $10\, cm = \frac{10}{100}\, m = 0.1\, m$ or $\frac{1}{10}\, m$.
The volume of water is calculated as $\text{Area} \times \text{Height}$.
Volume $= 10000\, m^2 \times 0.1\, m = 1000\, m^3$.

MediumMCQ
$A$ steel sphere of radius $4 \, cm$ is drawn into a wire of diameter $4 \, mm$. Find the length of the wire in $mm$.
A
$10665$
B
$42660$
C
$21333$
D
$14220$

Solution

(C) The volume of the material remains constant when the sphere is reshaped into a wire.
Volume of sphere = Volume of cylindrical wire
$\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 = \pi R^2 h$
Given: Radius of sphere $r = 4 \, cm = 40 \, mm$. Diameter of wire = $4 \, mm$,so radius of wire $R = 2 \, mm$.
Substituting the values:
$\frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times (40)^3 = \pi \times (2)^2 \times h$
$\frac{4}{3} \times 64000 = 4 \times h$
$h = \frac{64000}{3} \approx 21333.33 \, mm$.
Rounding to the nearest integer,the length is $21333 \, mm$.

$A$ vessel is in the form of a hollow cylinder mounted on a hemispherical bowl. The diameter of the hemisphere is $14 \, cm$ and the total height of the vessel is $13 \, cm$. Find the capacity of the vessel in $cm^3$. (Take $\pi = 22/7$)
Question diagram
A
$321.33$
B
$1642.67$
C
$1232$
D
$1632.33$

Solution

(B) Given:
Diameter of the hemisphere $= 14 \, cm$,so radius $r = 14/2 = 7 \, cm$.
Total height of the vessel $= 13 \, cm$.
Height of the cylindrical part $h = \text{Total height} - \text{Radius of hemisphere} = 13 - 7 = 6 \, cm$.
Capacity of the vessel $=$ Volume of cylinder $+$ Volume of hemisphere
$= \pi r^2 h + \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3$
$= \pi r^2 (h + \frac{2}{3} r)$
$= \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 7 \times (6 + \frac{2}{3} \times 7)$
$= 22 \times 7 \times (6 + \frac{14}{3})$
$= 154 \times (\frac{18 + 14}{3})$
$= 154 \times \frac{32}{3}$
$= \frac{4928}{3} \approx 1642.67 \, cm^3$.

EasyMCQ
In the given figure,circle $P$ has a diameter of $2 \ m$ and circle $Q$ has a diameter of $1 \ m$. Find the area of the shaded region.
Question diagram
A
$\frac{3}{4} \pi \ m^2$
B
$\frac{3}{7} \pi \ m^2$
C
$\frac{3}{5} \pi \ m^2$
D
$4 \pi \ m^2$

Solution

(A) The shaded region is the area between the two concentric circles.
Radius of circle $P$ $(R)$ = $\frac{\text{diameter}}{2} = \frac{2 \ m}{2} = 1 \ m$.
Radius of circle $Q$ $(r)$ = $\frac{\text{diameter}}{2} = \frac{1 \ m}{2} = 0.5 \ m$.
Area of shaded region = Area of circle $P$ - Area of circle $Q$.
Area = $\pi R^2 - \pi r^2 = \pi(1)^2 - \pi(0.5)^2$.
Area = $\pi - 0.25\pi = 0.75\pi = \frac{3}{4} \pi \ m^2$.

In the given figure,$QRST$ is a square. If the area of each circle is $2 \pi$,then find the area of square $QRST$?
Question diagram
A
$\sqrt{4} \pi^{2}$
B
$\sqrt{4} \pi$
C
$32$
D
$16$

Solution

(C) Let the radius of each circle be $r$.
Given that the area of each circle is $\pi r^{2} = 2 \pi$.
Dividing both sides by $\pi$,we get $r^{2} = 2$,which implies $r = \sqrt{2}$.
The diameter of each circle is $d = 2r = 2\sqrt{2}$.
From the figure,the side length of the square $QRST$ is equal to the sum of the diameters of two circles placed side-by-side,so the side length $s = 2d = 2(2\sqrt{2}) = 4\sqrt{2}$.
The area of the square $QRST$ is $s^{2} = (4\sqrt{2})^{2} = 16 \times 2 = 32$ square units.

EasyMCQ
In the given figure,$y$ is both the radius of the larger circle and the diameter of the smaller circle. Find the area of the shaded region.
Question diagram
A
$\frac{3}{7} \pi y^{2}$
B
$\frac{3}{4} \pi y^{2}$
C
$\frac{1}{4} \pi y^{2}$
D
$\frac{1}{3} \pi y^{2}$

Solution

(B) $1$. Radius of the larger circle $(R)$ = $y$.
$2$. Area of the larger circle = $\pi R^{2} = \pi y^{2}$.
$3$. Diameter of the smaller circle $(d)$ = $y$,so its radius $(r)$ = $\frac{y}{2}$.
$4$. Area of the smaller circle = $\pi r^{2} = \pi (\frac{y}{2})^{2} = \frac{\pi y^{2}}{4}$.
$5$. The shaded region is the area of the larger circle minus the area of the smaller circle.
$6$. Area of shaded region = $\pi y^{2} - \frac{\pi y^{2}}{4} = \frac{4\pi y^{2} - \pi y^{2}}{4} = \frac{3}{4} \pi y^{2}$.

MediumMCQ
In the given figure,if $O$ is the centre of the circle,then find the value of $y$?
Question diagram
A
$78$
B
$77$
C
$76$
D
$75$

Solution

(A) $OP$ and $OQ$ are equal sides as they are radii of the circle. Hence,$\Delta POQ$ is an isosceles triangle.
Since the angles opposite to equal sides are equal,we have $\angle OPQ = \angle OQP = 51^{\circ}$.
In $\Delta POQ$,the sum of all interior angles is $180^{\circ}$.
Therefore,$y + 51^{\circ} + 51^{\circ} = 180^{\circ}$.
$y + 102^{\circ} = 180^{\circ}$.
$y = 180^{\circ} - 102^{\circ} = 78^{\circ}$.

EasyMCQ
The length of a rectangular plot is thrice of its breadth. If the area of the rectangular plot is $7803 \ m^2$,what is the breadth of the rectangular plot? (in $m$)
A
$51$
B
$153$
C
$104$
D
$88$

Solution

(A) Let the breadth of the rectangular plot be $b \ m$.
According to the problem,the length of the plot is $3b \ m$.
The area of a rectangle is given by the formula: $\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{breadth}$.
Substituting the given values: $3b \times b = 7803$.
$3b^2 = 7803$.
Dividing both sides by $3$: $b^2 = \frac{7803}{3} = 2601$.
Taking the square root of both sides: $b = \sqrt{2601} = 51$.
Therefore,the breadth of the rectangular plot is $51 \ m$.

MediumMCQ
The ratio of length and breadth of a rectangular plot is $8:5$ respectively. If the breadth is $60\, m$ less than the length,what is the perimeter of the rectangular plot? (in $m$)
A
$260$
B
$1600$
C
$500$
D
$520$

Solution

(D) Let the length of the rectangular plot be $8x$ and the breadth be $5x$.
According to the problem,the breadth is $60\, m$ less than the length:
$8x - 5x = 60$
$3x = 60$
$x = 20\, m$
Now,calculate the length and breadth:
Length $= 8 \times 20 = 160\, m$
Breadth $= 5 \times 20 = 100\, m$
The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula $P = 2 \times (\text{length} + \text{breadth})$.
$P = 2 \times (160 + 100) = 2 \times 260 = 520\, m$.
112
MediumMCQ
Length of a rectangle is twice of its breadth. Area of the rectangle is $18 \, m^2$. What would be its perimeter? (in $m$)
A
$9$
B
$18$
C
$25$
D
$28$

Solution

(B) Let the breadth of the rectangle be $b \, m$.
Given that the length $l = 2b$.
The area of the rectangle is given by $l \times b = 18 \, m^2$.
Substituting $l = 2b$,we get $(2b) \times b = 18$.
$2b^2 = 18 \Rightarrow b^2 = 9 \Rightarrow b = 3 \, m$.
Thus,the length $l = 2 \times 3 = 6 \, m$.
The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated as $2(l + b)$.
Perimeter $= 2(6 + 3) = 2(9) = 18 \, m$.
113
MediumMCQ
Length of a rectangle is twice of its breadth. Area of the rectangle is $18 \, m^{2}$. What would be its perimeter? (in $m$)
A
$16$
B
$18$
C
$12$
D
$24$

Solution

(B) Let the breadth of the rectangle be $b$ meters.
Given that the length is twice the breadth,so length $l = 2b$.
The area of a rectangle is given by the formula $Area = l \times b$.
Substituting the given values: $18 = (2b) \times b$.
$18 = 2b^{2}$.
$b^{2} = 9$.
$b = 3 \, m$ (since breadth cannot be negative).
Therefore,length $l = 2 \times 3 = 6 \, m$.
The perimeter of a rectangle is given by $P = 2(l + b)$.
$P = 2(6 + 3) = 2(9) = 18 \, m$.
114
EasyMCQ
The perimeter of a square is double the perimeter of a rectangle. The area of the rectangle is $240 \, cm^2$. What is the area of the square? (in $cm^2$)
A
$100$
B
$36$
C
$81$
D
Cannot be determined

Solution

(D) Let the side of the square be $a$ and the length and breadth of the rectangle be $l$ and $b$ respectively.
Perimeter of the square = $4a$.
Perimeter of the rectangle = $2(l + b)$.
According to the problem,$4a = 2 \times [2(l + b)]$,which simplifies to $4a = 4(l + b)$,so $a = l + b$.
The area of the rectangle is given as $l \times b = 240 \, cm^2$.
We need to find the area of the square,which is $a^2 = (l + b)^2 = l^2 + b^2 + 2lb$.
Since we only know the value of $lb = 240$,we cannot determine the value of $l^2 + b^2$ without knowing the individual values of $l$ and $b$ or their sum. Thus,the area of the square cannot be uniquely determined.

What will be the area of a circle with circumference equal to $88\, cm$? (in $Sq\, cm$)
A
$154$
B
$44$
C
$616$
D
Cannot be determined

Solution

(C) Let the radius of the circle be $r\, cm$.
The formula for the circumference of a circle is $C = 2\pi r$.
Given that $C = 88\, cm$,we have $2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r = 88$.
Solving for $r$: $r = \frac{88 \times 7}{2 \times 22} = \frac{88 \times 7}{44} = 2 \times 7 = 14\, cm$.
The formula for the area of a circle is $A = \pi r^2$.
Substituting the value of $r$: $A = \frac{22}{7} \times 14 \times 14 = 22 \times 2 \times 14 = 44 \times 14 = 616\, Sq\, cm$.

What will be the area of a circle with circumference equal to $22 \, cm$? (in $sq \, cm$)
A
$41.2$
B
$26.4$
C
$38.5$
D
Cannot be determined

Solution

(C) Let the radius of the circle be $r \, cm$.
The circumference of a circle is given by the formula $C = 2 \pi r$.
Given $C = 22 \, cm$,we have $2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r = 22$.
Solving for $r$: $r = \frac{22 \times 7}{2 \times 22} = \frac{7}{2} = 3.5 \, cm$.
The area of the circle is given by $A = \pi r^2$.
Substituting the value of $r$: $A = \frac{22}{7} \times (3.5)^2 = \frac{22}{7} \times 3.5 \times 3.5 = 22 \times 0.5 \times 3.5 = 11 \times 3.5 = 38.5 \, sq \, cm$.

The circumference of two circles is $132\, m$ and $176\, m$ respectively. What is the difference between the area of the larger circle and the smaller circle? (in $sq\,m$)
A
$1048$
B
$1076$
C
$1078$
D
$1090$

Solution

(C) Let the radii of the two circles be $r_1$ and $r_2$ respectively.
The circumference of a circle is given by $C = 2\pi r$.
For the smaller circle: $2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r_1 = 132 \Rightarrow r_1 = \frac{132 \times 7}{44} = 21\, m$.
For the larger circle: $2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r_2 = 176 \Rightarrow r_2 = \frac{176 \times 7}{44} = 28\, m$.
The area of a circle is given by $A = \pi r^2$.
Difference in area $= \pi r_2^2 - \pi r_1^2 = \pi(r_2^2 - r_1^2)$.
Difference $= \frac{22}{7} \times (28^2 - 21^2) = \frac{22}{7} \times (28 - 21)(28 + 21)$.
Difference $= \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 49 = 22 \times 49 = 1078\, sq\, m$.

DifficultMCQ
The cost of fencing a circular plot at the rate of $Rs. 15$ per $m$ is $Rs. 3300$. What will be the cost of flooring the plot at the rate of $Rs. 100$ per square metre? (in $Rs.$)
A
$385000$
B
$220000$
C
$350000$
D
Cannot be determined

Solution

(A) The circumference of the circular plot is calculated by dividing the total cost of fencing by the rate per meter:
Circumference $= \frac{3300}{15} = 220 \ m$.
Using the formula for circumference $C = 2\pi r$,we find the radius $r$:
$220 = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r$
$r = \frac{220 \times 7}{44} = 5 \times 7 = 35 \ m$.
The area of the circular plot is given by $A = \pi r^2$:
$A = \frac{22}{7} \times 35 \times 35 = 22 \times 5 \times 35 = 3850 \ m^2$.
The cost of flooring is the area multiplied by the rate per square meter:
Cost $= 3850 \times 100 = Rs. 385000$.

The perimeter of a square is equal to twice the perimeter of a rectangle of length $8\, cm$ and breadth $7\, cm$. What is the circumference of a semicircle whose diameter is equal to the side of the square? (rounded off to the two decimal places) (in $cm$)
A
$38.57$
B
$23.57$
C
$41.46$
D
$47.47$

Solution

(A) Perimeter of a rectangle $= 2 \times (8 + 7) = 2 \times 15 = 30\, cm$.
Perimeter of a square $= 2 \times 30 = 60\, cm$.
Side of the square $= \frac{60}{4} = 15\, cm$.
Diameter of the semicircle $= 15\, cm$,so radius $r = \frac{15}{2} = 7.5\, cm$.
Circumference of a semicircle $= \pi r + d = \pi r + 2r = r(\pi + 2)$.
Using $\pi \approx 3.14159$,Circumference $= 7.5 \times (3.14159 + 2) = 7.5 \times 5.14159 \approx 38.5619$.
Rounding to two decimal places,we get $38.56\, cm$. (Note: Using $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$,$7.5 \times (3.1428 + 2) = 7.5 \times 5.1428 = 38.57\, cm$).

The breadth of a rectangular plot is $75 \%$ of its length. If the perimeter of the plot is $1050 \, m,$ what is its area (in $, m^2$)?
A
$12500$
B
$57500$
C
$62500$
D
$67500$

Solution

(D) Let the length of the rectangular plot be $L \, m$.
Given that the breadth $B = 75 \% \text{ of } L = 0.75L = \frac{3}{4}L$.
The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula $P = 2(L + B)$.
Substituting the given values: $2(L + \frac{3}{4}L) = 1050$.
$2(\frac{7}{4}L) = 1050$.
$\frac{7}{2}L = 1050$.
$L = \frac{1050 \times 2}{7} = 150 \times 2 = 300 \, m$.
Now,find the breadth: $B = \frac{3}{4} \times 300 = 3 \times 75 = 225 \, m$.
The area of the rectangle is $A = L \times B = 300 \times 225 = 67500 \, m^2$.

The radius of a coin is $1\, cm$. If four of these coins are placed on a table so that the rim of each touches that of the other two,find the area of the unoccupied space between them. (in $cm^2$)
Question diagram
A
$0.25$
B
$0.5$
C
$1.57$
D
$0.86$

Solution

(D) Let the radius of each coin be $r = 1\, cm$.
When four such coins are placed such that each touches the other two,their centers form a square with side length $s = 2r = 2\, cm$.
The area of this square is $s^2 = (2)^2 = 4\, cm^2$.
Inside this square,there are four sectors,each with a central angle of $90^\circ$ (since it is a square).
The sum of the areas of these four sectors is $4 \times (\frac{90}{360} \times \pi r^2) = \pi r^2 = \pi(1)^2 = \pi \approx 3.14\, cm^2$.
The unoccupied space between the coins is the area of the square minus the area of the four sectors.
Unoccupied space $= 4 - \pi = 4 - 3.14 = 0.86\, cm^2$.

A
$500$
B
$1000$
C
$1500$
D
$2000$

Solution

(B) The total distance to be travelled is $11 \text{ km} = 11000 \text{ m}$.
The radius of the wheel is $r = 1 \frac{3}{4} \text{ m} = \frac{7}{4} \text{ m}$.
The circumference of the wheel is given by the formula $C = 2 \pi r$.
Substituting the values,$C = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{7}{4} = 11 \text{ m}$.
The number of revolutions is calculated by dividing the total distance by the circumference of the wheel.
Number of revolutions $= \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Circumference}} = \frac{11000}{11} = 1000$.

A
$3$
B
$4$
C
$4.5$
D
$5$

Solution

(B) Let the height of the room be $h \text{ m}$.
Area of the four walls $= 2 \times (7 + 5) \times h = 24h \text{ m}^2$.
Area to be papered $= (24h - 5) \text{ m}^2$.
Width of paper $= 75 \text{ cm} = 0.75 \text{ m}$.
Area of one piece of paper $= 13 \text{ m} \times 0.75 \text{ m} = 9.75 \text{ m}^2$.
Number of pieces required $= \frac{24h - 5}{9.75}$.
Cost of one piece $= ₹ 4.20$.
Total cost $= \frac{24h - 5}{9.75} \times 4.20 = 39.20$.
$\frac{24h - 5}{9.75} = \frac{39.20}{4.20} = \frac{392}{42} = \frac{28}{3}$.
$3(24h - 5) = 28 \times 9.75$.
$72h - 15 = 273$.
$72h = 288$.
$h = 4 \text{ m}$.

A
$188$
B
$196$
C
$400$
D
$198$

Solution

(NONE) Let the height of the room be $h \text{ m}$.
Area of the four walls $= 2(l + b) \times h = 2(7 + 5) \times h = 24h \text{ m}^2$.
Area to be papered $= (24h - 5) \text{ m}^2$.
Width of paper $= 75 \text{ cm} = 0.75 \text{ m}$.
Length of one piece of paper $= 13 \text{ m}$.
Area of one piece of paper $= 13 \times 0.75 = 9.75 \text{ m}^2$.
Cost of one piece $= ₹ 4.20$.
Total cost $= ₹ 39.20$.
Number of pieces required $= \frac{39.20}{4.20} = \frac{392}{42} = \frac{28}{3} \text{ pieces}$.
Total area of paper $= \frac{28}{3} \times 9.75 = 28 \times 3.25 = 91 \text{ m}^2$.
Equating the areas: $24h - 5 = 91$.

Find the area of a rhombus one of whose diagonals measures $10 \text{ cm}$ and the other $12 \text{ cm}$. (in $\text{cm}^2$)
A
$120$
B
$60$
C
$50$
D
$40$

Solution

(B) The area of a rhombus is given by the formula: $\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times d_1 \times d_2$,where $d_1$ and $d_2$ are the lengths of the diagonals.
Given: $d_1 = 10 \text{ cm}$ and $d_2 = 12 \text{ cm}$.
Substituting the values into the formula:
$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 12$
$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 120$
$\text{Area} = 60 \text{ cm}^2$.

The area of a square field is $69696 \text{ cm}^2$. Its diagonal will be equal to (in $\text{cm}$) (in $.296$)
A
$313$
B
$353$
C
$373$
D
$393$

Solution

(C) Let the side of the square be $a$.
Given that the area of the square is $a^2 = 69696 \text{ cm}^2$.
To find the side length $a$,we take the square root: $a = \sqrt{69696} = 264 \text{ cm}$.
The formula for the diagonal of a square is $d = a\sqrt{2}$.
Substituting the value of $a$: $d = 264 \times \sqrt{2}$.
Using the value $\sqrt{2} \approx 1.41421356$,we get $d = 264 \times 1.41421356 = 373.35237984 \text{ cm}$.
Rounding to the provided options,the correct value is $373.296$.

If the ratio of areas of two squares is $225: 256,$ then the ratio of their perimeters is
A
$225:256$
B
$256:225$
C
$15:16$
D
$16:15$

Solution

(C) Let the sides of the two squares be $a_1$ and $a_2$ respectively.
The area of a square is given by the formula $\text{Area} = a^2$.
Given the ratio of areas: $\frac{A_1}{A_2} = \frac{a_1^2}{a_2^2} = \frac{225}{256}$.
Taking the square root of both sides,we get: $\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \sqrt{\frac{225}{256}} = \frac{15}{16}$.
The perimeter of a square is given by the formula $P = 4a$.
The ratio of their perimeters is: $\frac{P_1}{P_2} = \frac{4a_1}{4a_2} = \frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{15}{16}$.
Thus,the ratio of their perimeters is $15:16$.

$A$ man walked diagonally across a square plot. Approximately what was the percent saved by not walking along the edges?
A
$20$
B
$24$
C
$30$
D
$33$

Solution

(C) Let the side of the square plot be $a$.
Distance walked along the two edges $= a + a = 2a$.
Distance walked along the diagonal $= a\sqrt{2}$.
Distance saved $= 2a - a\sqrt{2} = a(2 - \sqrt{2})$.
Percent saved $= \frac{\text{Distance saved}}{\text{Total distance along edges}} \times 100$.
Percent saved $= \frac{a(2 - \sqrt{2})}{2a} \times 100 = \frac{2 - 1.414}{2} \times 100$.
Percent saved $= \frac{0.586}{2} \times 100 = 0.293 \times 100 = 29.3 \%$.
Rounding to the nearest whole number,the percent saved is approximately $30 \%$.

$A$ rectangular park $60 \, m$ long and $40 \, m$ wide has two concrete crossroads running in the middle of the park, and the rest of the park has been used as a lawn. If the area of the lawn is $2109 \, m^2$, then what is the width of the road? (in $m$)
A
$2.91$
B
$3$
C
$5.82$
D
None of these

Solution

(B) Let the width of the road be $x \, m$.
Total area of the park $= 60 \times 40 = 2400 \, m^2$.
Area of the lawn $= 2109 \, m^2$.
Area of the road $= \text{Total area} - \text{Area of the lawn} = 2400 - 2109 = 291 \, m^2$.
The area of the two crossroads is given by the formula: $x(L + W - x) = \text{Area of road}$, where $L = 60 \, m$ and $W = 40 \, m$.
$x(60 + 40 - x) = 291$
$x(100 - x) = 291$
$100x - x^2 = 291$
$x^2 - 100x + 291 = 0$
Solving the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula $x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$:
$x = \frac{100 \pm \sqrt{(-100)^2 - 4(1)(291)}}{2(1)}$
$x = \frac{100 \pm \sqrt{10000 - 1164}}{2}$
$x = \frac{100 \pm \sqrt{8836}}{2}$
$x = \frac{100 \pm 94}{2}$
$x_1 = \frac{194}{2} = 97$ (not possible as width cannot exceed park dimensions)
$x_2 = \frac{6}{2} = 3$
Therefore, the width of the road is $3 \, m$.

The length of a rectangle is increased by $60 \%$. By what percent would the width have to be decreased so as to maintain the same area?
A
$37 \frac{1}{2} \%$
B
$60 \%$
C
$75 \%$
D
$120 \%$

Solution

(A) Let the original length be $L$ and the original width be $W$. The original area is $A = L \times W$.
The new length $L' = L + 0.60L = 1.6L$.
Let the new width be $W'$. To maintain the same area,$L' \times W' = L \times W$.
$1.6L \times W' = L \times W \implies W' = \frac{W}{1.6} = 0.625W$.
The decrease in width is $W - 0.625W = 0.375W$.
The percentage decrease is $\frac{0.375W}{W} \times 100 = 37.5 \%$.
Since $37.5 = 37 \frac{1}{2}$,the width must be decreased by $37 \frac{1}{2} \%$.

Wheels of diameters $7\, cm$ and $14\, cm$ start rolling simultaneously from $X$ and $Y$,which are $1980\, cm$ apart,towards each other in opposite directions. Both of them make the same number of revolutions per second. If both of them meet after $10\, seconds$,the speed of the smaller wheel is.........$cm/sec$.
A
$22$
B
$44$
C
$66$
D
$132$

Solution

(C) Let $n$ be the number of revolutions per second made by both wheels.
Circumference of the smaller wheel $(d_1 = 7\, cm)$ is $C_1 = \pi d_1 = 7\pi\, cm$.
Circumference of the larger wheel $(d_2 = 14\, cm)$ is $C_2 = \pi d_2 = 14\pi\, cm$.
Distance covered by the smaller wheel in $10\, seconds$ is $D_1 = n \times C_1 \times 10 = n \times 7\pi \times 10 = 70n\pi\, cm$.
Distance covered by the larger wheel in $10\, seconds$ is $D_2 = n \times C_2 \times 10 = n \times 14\pi \times 10 = 140n\pi\, cm$.
Since they meet after $10\, seconds$,the sum of the distances covered is equal to the total distance between $X$ and $Y$:
$D_1 + D_2 = 1980$
$70n\pi + 140n\pi = 1980$
$210n\pi = 1980$
$n = \frac{1980}{210\pi} = \frac{198}{21\pi} = \frac{66}{7\pi}$ revolutions per second.
The speed of the smaller wheel is $v_1 = n \times C_1 = \left(\frac{66}{7\pi}\right) \times 7\pi = 66\, cm/sec$.

$A$ man runs round a circular field of radius $50\, m$ at the speed of $12\, km/hr$. What is the time taken by the man to take twenty rounds of the field? (in $minutes$)
A
$30$
B
$32$
C
$34$
D
None of these

Solution

(B) The circumference of the circular field is given by $C = 2 \pi r = 2 \pi \times 50 = 100 \pi\, m$.
For $20$ rounds, the total distance to be covered is $D = 20 \times 100 \pi = 2000 \pi\, m$.
The speed of the man is $12\, km/hr$. Converting this to $m/s$:
$v = 12 \times \frac{5}{18} = \frac{60}{18} = \frac{10}{3}\, m/s$.
The time taken in seconds is $T = \frac{D}{v} = \frac{2000 \pi}{10/3} = 2000 \pi \times \frac{3}{10} = 600 \pi\, s$.
Converting the time into minutes:
$T_{min} = \frac{600 \pi}{60} = 10 \pi\, minutes$.
Using $\pi \approx 3.14$, $T_{min} = 10 \times 3.14 = 31.4\, minutes$.
Rounding to the nearest integer, the time taken is approximately $32\, minutes$.

The length of a rectangular plot is $60\%$ more than its breadth. If the difference between the length and the breadth of that rectangle is $24\, cm$,what is the area of that rectangle? (in $cm^2$)
A
$2400$
B
$2480$
C
$2560$
D
Data inadequate

Solution

(C) Let the breadth of the rectangle be $x\, cm$.
According to the problem,the length is $60\%$ more than the breadth,so the length is $x + 0.60x = 1.6x\, cm$.
The difference between the length and the breadth is given as $24\, cm$.
Therefore,$1.6x - x = 24$.
$0.6x = 24$.
$x = \frac{24}{0.6} = 40\, cm$.
Thus,the breadth is $40\, cm$ and the length is $1.6 \times 40 = 64\, cm$.
The area of the rectangle is $\text{length} \times \text{breadth} = 64 \times 40 = 2560\, cm^2$.

The length of a rectangular plot is $20 \ m$ more than its breadth. If the cost of fencing the plot at $₹ 26.50/m$ is $₹ 5300$,what is the length of the plot in metres?
A
$40$
B
$50$
C
$120$
D
$60$

Solution

(D) Let the breadth of the rectangular plot be $x \ m$.
Then,the length of the plot is $(x + 20) \ m$.
The perimeter of the rectangular plot is given by the formula $P = 2 \times (\text{length} + \text{breadth})$.
$P = 2 \times ((x + 20) + x) = 2 \times (2x + 20) = (4x + 40) \ m$.
The cost of fencing is given as $₹ 5300$ at a rate of $₹ 26.50/m$.
Therefore,$\text{Perimeter} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Rate}} = \frac{5300}{26.50} = 200 \ m$.
Equating the perimeter: $4x + 40 = 200$.
$4x = 200 - 40 = 160$.
$x = 40 \ m$ (Breadth).
Length $= x + 20 = 40 + 20 = 60 \ m$.

$A$ farmer wishes to start a $100 \, m^2$ rectangular vegetable garden. Since he has only $30 \, m$ of barbed wire,he fences three sides of the garden,using his house compound wall as the fourth side. The dimensions of the garden are:
A
$15 \, m \times 6.67 \, m$
B
$20 \, m \times 5 \, m$
C
$30 \, m \times 3.33 \, m$
D
$40 \, m \times 2.5 \, m$

Solution

(B) Let the length of the side parallel to the house wall be $l$ and the width of the other two sides be $b$.
The area of the rectangular garden is given by $A = l \times b = 100 \, m^2$.
The total length of the barbed wire used for three sides is $l + 2b = 30 \, m$.
From the area equation,$l = 100/b$.
Substituting this into the perimeter equation: $(100/b) + 2b = 30$.
Multiplying by $b$: $100 + 2b^2 = 30b$,which simplifies to $2b^2 - 30b + 100 = 0$.
Dividing by $2$: $b^2 - 15b + 50 = 0$.
Factoring the quadratic equation: $(b - 10)(b - 5) = 0$.
Thus,$b = 10$ or $b = 5$.
If $b = 5 \, m$,then $l = 100/5 = 20 \, m$. Checking the perimeter: $20 + 2(5) = 30 \, m$ (Matches).
If $b = 10 \, m$,then $l = 100/10 = 10 \, m$. Checking the perimeter: $10 + 2(10) = 30 \, m$ (Matches).
Comparing with the given options,the dimensions $20 \, m \times 5 \, m$ are provided.

$A$ rectangle has width $a$ and length $b$. If the width is decreased by $20 \%$ and the length is increased by $10 \%$,what is the area of the new rectangle as a percentage of the original area $ab$?
A
$80$
B
$88$
C
$110$
D

Solution

(B) The original area of the rectangle is $A_1 = a \times b = ab$.
The new width is $a' = a - 0.20a = 0.80a$.
The new length is $b' = b + 0.10b = 1.10b$.
The new area is $A_2 = a' \times b' = (0.80a) \times (1.10b) = 0.88ab$.
To express the new area as a percentage of the original area,we calculate $(A_2 / A_1) \times 100 = (0.88ab / ab) \times 100 = 88 \%$.
Therefore,the area of the new rectangle is $88 \%$ of the original area $ab$.

A

B

C
$360$
D
$480$

Solution

(D) Let the rhombus be $ABCD$ with side $AB = 26 \ cm$ and diagonal $AC = 48 \ cm$. The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles at point $O$.
Therefore,$OA = OC = \frac{48}{2} = 24 \ cm$.
In the right-angled triangle $\Delta OAB$,by the Pythagorean theorem:
$(OB)^2 = (AB)^2 - (OA)^2$
$(OB)^2 = (26)^2 - (24)^2$
$(OB)^2 = (26 - 24)(26 + 24) = 2 \times 50 = 100$
$OB = \sqrt{100} = 10 \ cm$.
The other diagonal $BD = 2 \times OB = 2 \times 10 = 20 \ cm$.
The area of the rhombus is given by $\frac{1}{2} \times d_1 \times d_2$.
Area $= \frac{1}{2} \times 48 \times 20 = 480 \ cm^2$.

A
$88$
B

C
$1250$
D
$616$

Solution

(D) The perimeter of the rectangle is given by $P = 2(l + b) = 2(18 + 26) = 2(44) = 88 \, cm$.
Since the perimeter of the circle is equal to the perimeter of the rectangle,we have $2 \pi r = 88 \, cm$.
Solving for the radius $r$,we get $r = \frac{88}{2 \pi} = \frac{44}{\pi} \, cm$.
The area of the circle is given by $A = \pi r^2$.
Substituting the value of $r$,we get $A = \pi \left( \frac{44}{\pi} \right)^2 = \pi \times \frac{44 \times 44}{\pi^2} = \frac{44 \times 44}{\pi}$.
Using $\pi \approx \frac{22}{7}$,we get $A = \frac{44 \times 44 \times 7}{22} = 2 \times 44 \times 7 = 616 \, cm^2$.

A
$160.16$
B
$176.16$
C
$196.16$
D
Data inadequate

Solution

(A) The diameter of the circular ground is $35 \ m$,so the radius of the ground $(r)$ is $35 / 2 = 17.5 \ m$.
The garden is $1.4 \ m$ broad around the ground,so the radius of the outer circle $(R)$ is $17.5 + 1.4 = 18.9 \ m$.
The area of the garden is the difference between the area of the outer circle and the area of the inner circular ground.
Area of garden $= \pi R^2 - \pi r^2 = \pi (R^2 - r^2) = \pi (R + r)(R - r)$.
Area of garden $= \frac{22}{7} \times (18.9 + 17.5) \times (18.9 - 17.5)$.
Area of garden $= \frac{22}{7} \times 36.4 \times 1.4$.
Area of garden $= 22 \times 36.4 \times 0.2 = 22 \times 7.28 = 160.16 \ m^2$.

If the radius of a circle is increased by $75 \%,$ then its circumference will increase by (in $\%$)
A
$25$
B
$50$
C
$75$
D
$100$

Solution

(C) The formula for the circumference of a circle is $C = 2 \pi r,$ where $r$ is the radius.
Since $2 \pi$ is a constant,the circumference $C$ is directly proportional to the radius $r$ $(C \propto r)$.
If the radius $r$ is increased by $75 \%,$ the new radius $r'$ becomes $r + 0.75r = 1.75r$.
The new circumference $C'$ will be $2 \pi (1.75r) = 1.75(2 \pi r) = 1.75C$.
The percentage increase in circumference is given by $\frac{C' - C}{C} \times 100 = \frac{1.75C - C}{C} \times 100 = 0.75 \times 100 = 75 \%$.
Therefore,the circumference increases by $75 \%$.

If an equilateral triangle of area $X$ and a square of area $Y$ have the same perimeter,then $X$ is
A
equal to $Y$
B
greater than $Y$
C
less than $Y$
D
less than or equal to $Y$

Solution

(C) Let the side of the equilateral triangle be $a$ and the side of the square be $b$.
The area of the triangle is $X = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} a^2$ and its perimeter is $P = 3a$.
The area of the square is $Y = b^2$ and its perimeter is $P = 4b$.
Since both have the same perimeter,$3a = 4b$,which implies $b = \frac{3a}{4}$.
Now,$Y = b^2 = (\frac{3a}{4})^2 = \frac{9a^2}{16}$.
From the area of the triangle,we have $a^2 = \frac{4X}{\sqrt{3}}$.
Substituting this into the expression for $Y$,we get $Y = \frac{9}{16} \times \frac{4X}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{9X}{4\sqrt{3}} = \frac{3\sqrt{3}X}{4}$.
Since $\sqrt{3} \approx 1.732$,we have $Y \approx \frac{3 \times 1.732}{4} X = 1.299X$.
Therefore,$Y > X$,which means $X < Y$.

Solution

(D) Let the side of the square be $x$.
The area of the square is $A = x^2$.
Given that the error in measuring the side is $2 \%$,the new side becomes $x' = x + 0.02x = 1.02x$.
The new area is $A' = (1.02x)^2 = 1.0404x^2$.
The change in area is $\Delta A = A' - A = 1.0404x^2 - x^2 = 0.0404x^2$.
The percentage error in the area is $\frac{\Delta A}{A} \times 100 = \frac{0.0404x^2}{x^2} \times 100 = 4.04 \%$.

New diameter $D' = 10D$.
New circumference $C' = \pi D' = 10 \pi D = 10C$.
Since the speed $v$ remains the same,the new time $T'$ required to complete $1$ round is:
$T' = \frac{C'}{v} = \frac{10C}{C/5} = 10 \times 5 = 50$ minutes.

A
$S < T < C$
B
$T < C < S$
C
$T < S < C$
D
$C < S < T$

Solution

(C) Let the perimeter be $P$. Since the perimeters are equal,we have $3a = 4b = 2\pi r = P$,where $a$ is the side of the triangle,$b$ is the side of the square,and $r$ is the radius of the circle.
$1$. Area of the equilateral triangle: $T = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} a^2 = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \left(\frac{P}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{36} P^2 \approx 0.0481 P^2$.
$2$. Area of the square: $S = b^2 = \left(\frac{P}{4}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{16} P^2 = 0.0625 P^2$.
$3$. Area of the circle: $C = \pi r^2 = \pi \left(\frac{P}{2\pi}\right)^2 = \frac{P^2}{4\pi} \approx 0.0796 P^2$.
Comparing the coefficients of $P^2$: $0.0481 < 0.0625 < 0.0796$.
Thus,$T < S < C$.

B
$\frac{4 \sqrt{2}}{5}\, cm$
C
$\frac{5 \sqrt{2}}{4}\, cm$

Solution

(C) Let $r$ be the radius of the incircle.
Given sides of the triangle are $a = 11\, cm$,$b = 6\, cm$,and $c = 15\, cm$.
First,calculate the semi-perimeter $s$ of the triangle:
$s = \frac{a + b + c}{2} = \frac{11 + 6 + 15}{2} = \frac{32}{2} = 16\, cm$.
Now,calculate the area of the triangle $(\Delta)$ using Heron's formula:
$\Delta = \sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}$
$\Delta = \sqrt{16(16 - 11)(16 - 6)(16 - 15)}$
$\Delta = \sqrt{16 \times 5 \times 10 \times 1} = \sqrt{800} = 20 \sqrt{2}\, cm^2$.
The radius of the incircle $r$ is given by the formula $r = \frac{\Delta}{s}$.
$r = \frac{20 \sqrt{2}}{16} = \frac{5 \sqrt{2}}{4}\, cm$.

B
$(8 \pi - 32)\, cm^2$
C
$(16 \pi - 16)\, cm^2$
D
$(16 \pi - 32)\, cm^2$

Solution

(D) The radius of the circle is $r = 4\, cm$.
Area of the circle $= \pi r^2 = \pi \times (4)^2 = 16 \pi\, cm^2$.
Since the square is inscribed in the circle,the diagonal of the square is equal to the diameter of the circle.
Diameter of the circle $= 2 \times r = 2 \times 4 = 8\, cm$.
Let the side of the square be $a$. The diagonal of a square is $a\sqrt{2}$.
So,$a\sqrt{2} = 8$,which gives $a = \frac{8}{\sqrt{2}} = 4\sqrt{2}\, cm$.
Area of the square $= a^2 = (4\sqrt{2})^2 = 16 \times 2 = 32\, cm^2$.
The area of the portion between the circle and the square is the difference between the area of the circle and the area of the square.
Required area $= (16 \pi - 32)\, cm^2$.

The area of a circle is $220 \text{ cm}^2$. The area of a square inscribed in this circle will be (in $\text{cm}^2$):
A
$49$
B
$70$
C
$140$
D
$150$

Solution

(C) Given the area of the circle is $\pi r^2 = 220 \text{ cm}^2$.
Using $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$,we have $\frac{22}{7} \times r^2 = 220$.
$r^2 = \frac{220 \times 7}{22} = 70$.
Thus,$r = \sqrt{70} \text{ cm}$.
The diagonal of a square inscribed in a circle is equal to the diameter of the circle.
Diameter $d = 2r = 2\sqrt{70} \text{ cm}$.
Let the side of the square be $a$. The diagonal of the square is $a\sqrt{2}$.
So,$a\sqrt{2} = 2\sqrt{70}$.
$a = \frac{2\sqrt{70}}{\sqrt{2}} = 2\sqrt{35}$.
The area of the square is $a^2 = (2\sqrt{35})^2 = 4 \times 35 = 140 \text{ cm}^2$.

$A$ tank is $25 \ m$ long,$12 \ m$ wide and $6 \ m$ deep. The cost of plastering its walls and bottom at $75 \ paise/m^2$ is (in $Rs.$)
A
$456$
B
$458$
C
$558$
D
$568$

Solution

(C) The tank is an open cuboid. The area to be plastered includes the four walls and the bottom.
Area of four walls $= 2(length + width) \times height = 2(25 + 12) \times 6 = 2(37) \times 6 = 444 \ m^2$.
Area of the bottom $= length \times width = 25 \times 12 = 300 \ m^2$.
Total surface area to be plastered $= 444 + 300 = 744 \ m^2$.
Cost of plastering $= 744 \times 0.75 \ Rs./m^2 = 744 \times \frac{3}{4} = 186 \times 3 = ₹ 558$.

If in a triangle,the area is numerically equal to the perimeter,then the radius of the inscribed circle of the triangle is
A
$1$
B
$1.5$
C
$2$
D
$3$

Solution

(C) Let the area of the triangle be $A$ and the semi-perimeter be $s$.
Given that the area is numerically equal to the perimeter,we have $A = 2s$.
The radius of the inscribed circle $(r)$ is given by the formula $r = \frac{A}{s}$.
Substituting $A = 2s$ into the formula,we get $r = \frac{2s}{s} = 2$.
Therefore,the radius of the inscribed circle is $2$.

The area of the incircle of an equilateral triangle of side $42 \ cm$ is (in $cm^2$)
A
$22 \sqrt{3}$
B
$231$
C
$462$
D
$924$

Solution

(C) For an equilateral triangle with side $a = 42 \ cm$,the radius $r$ of the incircle is given by the formula $r = \frac{a}{2\sqrt{3}}$.
Substituting $a = 42 \ cm$:
$r = \frac{42}{2\sqrt{3}} = \frac{21}{\sqrt{3}} = 7\sqrt{3} \ cm$.
The area of the incircle is given by $\pi r^2$.
Area $= \frac{22}{7} \times (7\sqrt{3})^2$
$= \frac{22}{7} \times 49 \times 3$
$= 22 \times 7 \times 3$
$= 462 \ cm^2$.
