- Question
- Area of a square is 1/2 hectare. The diagonal of the square is?
Options- A. 250 meter
- B. 100 meter
- C. 50? 2 meter
- D. 50 meter
- Correct Answer
- 100 meter
ExplanationArea = 1/2 hectare = 10000 / 2 m2
= 5000 m2
Again Area = 1/2 x (Diagonal)2
So 1/2 x (Diagonal)2 = 5000m2
? Diagonal2= 10000
? Diagonal = 100 - 1. In a class of 50 students, 35 opted for mathematics and 37 opted for Biology. How many have opted for both Mathematics and Biology? How many have opted for only Mathematics? (Assume that each student has to opt for at least one of the subjects).

Correct Answer: 13
Explanation:
Given in the question,
n(M ? B) = 50, n(M) = 35, n(B) = 37, n(M ? B) =?
use the below formula
n(M ? B) = n(M) + n(B) ? n(M ? B)
We get 50 = 35 + 37 ? n(M ? B)
? n(M ? B) = 35 + 37 ? 50 = 72 ? 50 = 22
? 22 students have opted for both Mathematics and Biology.
Again number of students who have opted for only Mathematics = n(M) ? n(M ? B) = 35 ? 22 = 13.
Correct Answer: 250
Explanation:
n(A) = Biology students = 72%
n(B) = Mathematics students = 44%
Total students = n(A ? B) = 100%
? 100% = 72% + 44% - n(A ? B) = 116% - n(A ? B)
? n(A ? B) = 16%
? number of students studying both subjects = 40
? Let the total number of students be P
Now, according to the question,
16P/100 = 40
? P = 250
Correct Answer: 35
Explanation:
Let us assume that the N number of people have only TV.
According to question,
? (40 ? P) + P + 10 + 15 + (50 ? P) = 100
? 115 ? 2P + P = 100
? P = 115 ? 100 = 15
? Only TV = 75 ? 15 ? 10 ? 15 = 35
Correct Answer: (A × B) ? (A × C)
Explanation:
As per given question,
(B ? C) = {b, c, e} ? {b, c, f} = {b, c, e, f}
? A × (B ? C) = {a, d} × {b, c, e, f}
= {(a, b), (a, c), (a, e), (a, f), (d, b), (d, c), (d, e), (d, f)} ?...........(1)
Also, (A × B) = {(a, b), (a, c), (a, e), (d, b), (d, c), (d, e)}
and, (A × C) = {(a, b), (a, c), (a, f), (d, b), (d, c), (d, f)} ?............(2)
? (A × B) ? (A × C) = {(a, b), (a, c), (a, e), (a, f), (d, b), (d, c), (d, e), (d, f)}
From (1) and (2), we have
A × (B ? C) = (A × B) ? (A × C).
Correct Answer: 19
Explanation:
Let P = set of people who like coffee and Q = set of people like tea.
Then, P ? Q = set of people who like at least one of the two drinks.
And P ? Q = set of people who like both the drinks.
Given in the question,
n(P) = 37, n(Q) = 52, n(P ? Q) = 70.
Use the below formula,
n(P ? Q) = n(P) + n(Q) ? n(P ? Q)
Put the value from the given question,
70 = 37 + 52 ? n(P ? Q)
? n(P ? Q) = 89 ? 70 = 19.
? 19 people like both coffee and tea.
Correct Answer: 30m2
Explanation:
Altitude = ?(13)2 - (5)2
= ?144 = 12m
? Area of the triangle = (5 x 12 ) / 2 m2
= 30m2
Correct Answer: No change
Explanation:
Let length = l and breadth = b
Then, area = lb
New length = 2l
And new breadth = b/2
? New area = ( 2l ) x (b/2) = lb
So, there is no change in area .
Correct Answer: 6 meters
Explanation:
Length of carpet = Total Cost / Rate
= 3600 / 30
= 120 m
Area of carpet = (120 x 75) / 100 m2
= 90 m2
? Area of the room = 90 m2
Breadth of the room = Area /Length
= 90 / 15 m
= 6m
Correct Answer: 56.25
Explanation:
Let area 100 m2
Then, side = 10 m
New side = 125 % of 10
= (125/100) x 10
= 12.5 m
New area = 12.5 x 12.5 m2
=(12.5)2 sq. m
? Increase in area = (12.5)2 - (10)2 m2
= 22.5 x 2.5 m2
=56.25 m2
% Increase = 56.25 %
Correct Answer: None of these
Explanation:
Let each side = x cm
Then, (x + 4 )2 - x2 = 60
? x 2 + 8x + 16 - x2 = 60
? x = 5.5 cm
