- Question
A room 5m 55cm long and 3m 74cm broad is to be paved with square tiles.Find the least number of square tiles required to cover the floor?
Options- A. 156
- B. 166
- C. 176
- D. 186
- Correct Answer
- 176
ExplanationArea of the room=(544 * 374)
size of largest square tile= H.C.F of 544 & 374 = 34 cm
Area of 1 tile = (34 x 34)
Number of tiles required== [(544 x 374) / (34 x 34)] = 176

Correct Answer: 4:1
Explanation:
ratio =
Correct Answer: 13 cm
Explanation:
Correct Answer: Rs. 558
Explanation:
Area to be plastered =
=
Cost of plastering =
Correct Answer: B=900;H=300
Explanation:
Area of the field = Total cost/rate = (333.18/25.6) = 13.5 hectares
Let altitude = x metres and base = 3x metres.
Then,
Base = 900 m and Altitude = 300 m.
Correct Answer: 60
Explanation:
let ABC be the isosceles triangle, the AD be the altitude
Let AB = AC = x then BC= 32-2x [because parameter = 2 (side) + Base]
since in an isoceles triange the altitude bisects the base so
BD = DC = 16-x
In a triangle ADC,
BC = 32-2x = 32-20 = 12 cm
Hence, required area = = = 60 sq cm
Correct Answer: 20cm
Explanation:
Let the breadth of the given rectangle be x then length is 2x.
thus area of the given rect is
after dec 5cm from length and inc 5cm breadth , new lenght becomes 2x-5 and breadth is x+5.thus new area =(2x-5)(x+5)=
since new area is 75 units greater than original area thus
5x=75+25
5x=100
therefore x=20
hence length of the rectangle is 40 cm.
Correct Answer: 250
Explanation:
Circumference = No.of revolutions * Distance covered
Distance to be covered in 1 min. = (66 X1000)/60 m = 1100 m.
Circumference of the wheel = 2 x (22/7) x 0.70 m = 4.4 m.
Number of revolutions per min. =(1100/4.4) = 250.
Correct Answer: 176
Explanation:
area of the room = 544 x 374 sq.cm
size of largest square tile = H.C.F of 544cm and 374 cm= 34 cm
area of 1 tile = 34x34 sq cm
no. of tiles required = (544 x 374) / (34 x 34) = 176
Correct Answer: 84
Explanation:
Let a = 13, b = 14 and c = 15. Then, =21
(s- a) = 8, (s - b) = 7 and (s - c) = 6.
Area =
=
= 84 sq.cm
Correct Answer: 5100 sq.m
Explanation:
Let the breadth of floor be 'b' m.
Then, length of the floor is 'l = (b + 25)'
Area of the rectangular floor = l x b = (b + 25) × b
According to the question,
(b + 15) (b + 8) = (b + 25) × b
2b = 120
b = 60 m.
l = b + 25 = 60 + 25 = 85 m.
Area of the floor = 85 × 60 = 5100 sq.m.
