Correct Answer: 140
Explanation:
distance covered in 1 revolution =
= 2 x (22/7) x 20 = 880/7 cm
required no of revolutions = 17600 x (7/880) = 140
Correct Answer: 50
Explanation:
Let x and y be the length and breadth of the rectangle respectively.
Then, x - 4 = y + 3 or x - y = 7 ----(i)
Area of the rectangle =xy; Area of the square = (x - 4) (y + 3)
(x - 4) (y + 3) =xy <=> 3x - 4y = 12 ----(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii), we get x = 16 and y = 9.
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 (x + y) = [2 (16 + 9)] cm = 50 cm.
Correct Answer: 5600 sq.m
Explanation:
Perimeter of the rectangle is given by 3000/10 = 300 mts
But we know,
The Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(l + b)
Now,
2(8x + 7x) = 300
30x = 300
x = 10
Required, Area of rectangle = 8x x 7x = 56 x 100 = 5600 sq. mts.
Correct Answer: 56m
Explanation:
perimeter of the plot = 2(90+50) = 280m
no of poles =280/5 =56m
Correct Answer: 814
Explanation:
Length of largest tile = H.C.F. of 1517 cm and 902 cm = 41 cm.
Area of each tile =
Required number of tiles = = 814
Correct Answer: 37500
Explanation:
Let length = x meters, then breadth = 0.6x
Given that perimeter = 800 meters
=> 2[ x + 0.6x] = 800
=> x = 250 m
Length = 250m and breadth = 0.6 x 250 = 150m
Area = 250 x 150 = 37500 sq.m
Correct Answer: 64%
Explanation:
Area of the sheet =
Area used for typing =
required % = =64%
Correct Answer: 14 cm
Explanation:
circumference of a circle = 2 r
=> 2 × 22/7 × r ? r = 37
=> 37/7 × r = 37
=> r = 7 cm.
Diameter D = 2r = 7×2 = 14 cm.
Correct Answer: 14
Explanation:
Distance covered in one revolution = = 88m.
Correct Answer: 120 sq.cm
Explanation:
The triangle with sides 26 cm, 24 cm and 10 cm is right angled, where the hypotenuse is 26 cm.
Area of the triangle =1/2 x base x height => 1/2 x 24 x 10 = 120 sq.cm
