- Question
The difference between the length and breadth of a rectangle is 23 m. If its perimeter is 206 m, then its area is:
Options- A. 2520
- B. 2420
- C. 2320
- D. 2620
- Correct Answer
- 2520
ExplanationWe have: (l - b) = 23 and 2(l + b) = 206 or (l + b) = 103.
Solving the two equations, we get: l = 63 and b = 40.
Area = (l x b) = (63 x 40) = 2520 sq.m - 1. The length of a room is 5.5 m and width is 3.75 m. Find the cost of paying the floor by slabs at the rate of Rs. 800 per sq.metre.

Correct Answer: Rs.16500
Explanation:
Area = 5.5 × 3.75 sq. metre.
Cost for 1 sq. metre. = Rs. 800
Hence total cost = 5.5 × 3.75 × 800 = 5.5 × 3000 = Rs. 16500
Correct Answer: 73800
Explanation:
perimeter = total cost / cost per m = 10080 /20 = 504m
side of the square = 504/4 = 126m
breadth of the pavement = 3m
side of inner square = 126 - 6 = 120m
area of the pavement = (126 x126) - (120 x 120) = 246 x 6 sq m
cost of pavement = 246*6*50 = Rs. 73800
Correct Answer: rs.258
Explanation:
area of cross roads = (55 x 4) + (35 x 4)- (4 x 4) = 344sq m
cost of graveling = 344 x (75/100) = Rs. 258
Correct Answer: 220/7 min
Explanation:
speed = 12 km/h =
distance covered =
time taken = distance /speed =
Correct Answer: b=6; l=18; H=6
Explanation:
Let breadth = x metres, length = 3x metres, height = H metres.
Area of the floor=(Total cost of carpeting)/(Rate) = (270/5) sq.m = 54 sq.m
So, breadth = 6 m and length = = 9 m.
Now, papered area = (1720/10) = 172 sq.m
Area of 1 door and 2 windows = 8 sq.m
Total area of 4 walls = (172 + 8) sq.m = 180 sq.m
Correct Answer: 84
Explanation:
Let inner radius be r metres. Then, 2 r = 440 ; r = = 70 m.
Radius of outer circle = (70 + 14) m = 84 m.
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: 20 m
Explanation:
Let breadth=x meters. Then, Length = meters
Given that,
=> x = 20
Breadth = 20
Correct Answer: 14 cm
Explanation:
Circular piece is 4 x 11 = 44 cm long,
Then Circumference of circle is given by,
44 = pi x D, where D is the diameter
D = 44 / pi
Take pi = 22 / 7, then
D = 44 / (22/7) = (44 x 7) / 22
D = 14 cm.
Correct Answer: 250%
