Options- A. 21 cm
- B. 42?3 cm
- C. 21?3 cm
- D. 42 cm
- Correct Answer
- 42?3 cm
ExplanationWe know that, the radius of a circle inscribed in a equilateral triangle = a/[2?3]
Where, a be the length of the side of an equilateral triangle.
Given that, area of a circle inscribed in an equilateral tringle = 154 cm2
? ?(a/2?3)2 = 154
? (a/2?3)2 = 154 x (7/22) = (7)a2
? a = 42?3 cm
Perimeter of an equilateral triangle = 3a
= 3(14?3)
= 42?3 cm - 1. If the area of an equilateral triangle is x and its perimeter is y, then which one of the following is correct?

Correct Answer: y4 = 432 x2
Explanation:
Area of equilateral triangle = ?3a2/4 = x ......(i)
And perimeter = 3a = y
? a = y/3 ....(ii)
Now, Putting the value of a from Eq. (ii) in Eq. (i). we get
?3 (y/3)2/4 = x
? x = ?3 x y2/36
? x = y2/3?3x = y2/12?3
12?3 x = y2
On squaring both sides, we get
y4 = 432x2
Correct Answer: Only I
Explanation:
Let the radius of circle is 'r' and a side of a square is 'a',
then given condition
2?r = 4a
? a = ?r/2
? Area of square = (?r/2)2 = ?2 /4r2 = 9.86r2/4 = 2.46r2
and area of circle = ?r2 = 3.14;r2
and let the side of equilateral triangle is x.
Then, given condition,
3x = 2?r
? x = 2?r/3
? Area of equilateral triangle = ?3/4 x 2
= ?3/4 x 4?2r2/9
= ?2/3?3r2
= 1.89r2
Hence, Area of circle > Area of square > Area of equilateral triangle.
Correct Answer: 11
Explanation:
Let there be n sides of the polygon. Then it has n vertices.
The total number of straight lines obtained by joining n vertices by talking 2 at a time is nC2
These nC2 lines also include n sides of polygon.
Therefore, the number of diagonals formed is nC2 - n.
Thus, nC2 - n = 44
? [n(n - 1)/2] - n = 44
? ( n2 - 3n) / 2 = 44
? n2 - 3n = 88
? n2 - 3n - 88 = 0
?(n - 11) (n + 8) = 0
? n = 11
Correct Answer: 9 : 16
Explanation:
Ratio of similar triangle
= Ratio of the square of corresponding sides
= (3x)2 / (4x)2 = 9x2 / 16x2
= 9/16 = 9 : 16
Correct Answer: 176
Explanation:
Area of the room =(544 x 374) cm2
size of largest square tile = H.C.F. of 544 & 374
= 34 cm
Area of 1 tile = (34 x 34) cm2
? Least number of tiles required
= (544 x 374) / (34 x 34) = 176
Correct Answer: 40 cm
Explanation:
Given that, l = 2b [Here l = length and b = breadth]
Decrease in length = Half of the 10 cm = 10/2 = 5 cm
Increase in breadth = Half of the 10 cm = 10/2 = 5 cm
Increase in the area = (70 + 5) = 75 sq cm
According to the question,
(l - 5) (b + 5) = lb + 75
? (2b - 5) (b + 5) = 2b2 + 75 [since l = 2b]
? 5b - 25 = 75
? 5b = 100
? b = 100/ 5 = 20
? l = 2b = 2 x 20 = 40 cm
Correct Answer: 144 cm
Explanation:
Area of square = (Side)2 = 202
= 400 sq cm
? Area of rectangle
= 1.8 x 400 = 720 sq cm
Let length and breadth of rectangle be 5k and k respectively.
Then, according to the question,
5k x k = 720
? 5k2 = 720
? k2 = 720/5 = 144
? k = ?144 = 12 cm
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(5k + k) = 12k
= 12 x12 = 144 cm
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
Area of square plate = (Side)2
= (2d)2
= 4d2
Area of circular plate = ? (d/2)2
= ?d2/4
? Number of square plates
= [(4d2)/4] / [(?d2)/4]
= (4 x 4)/?
? 5
Since, nearest integer value is 5.
Correct Answer: 3/10
Explanation:
Let one diagonal be k.
Then, other diagonal = (60k/100) = 3k/5 cm
Area of rhombus =(1/2) x k x (3k/5) = (3/10)
= 3/10 (square of longer diagonal)
Hence, area of rhombus is 3/10 times.
Correct Answer: 384 cm2
Explanation:
? a3 = 512 = 8 x 8 x 8
? a = 8 cm
? Surface area = 6a2
=[6 x (8)2] cm2
=384 cm2
