Options- A. 108 sq.cm
- B. 112 sq.cm
- C. 116 sq.cm
- D. 120 sq.cm
- Correct Answer
- 120 sq.cm
ExplanationThe 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

Correct Answer: 14
Explanation:
Distance covered in one revolution = = 88m.
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: 64%
Explanation:
Area of the sheet =
Area used for typing =
required % = =64%
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: 20ft
Explanation:
let the radius of the pool be Rft
Radius of the pool including the wall = (R+4)ft
Area of the concrete wall = = sq feet
=> 8
Radius of the pool R = 20ft
Correct Answer: 25 sq.cm
Explanation:
Given length of the rectangle = 3 cm
Breadth of the rectangle = 4 cm
Then, the diagonal of the rectangle
Then, it implies side of square = 5 cm
We know that Area of square = S x S = 5 x 5 = 25 sq.cm.
Correct Answer: 88
Explanation:
We have: l = 20 ft and lb = 680 sq. ft.So, b = 34 ft.
Length of fencing = (l + 2b) = (20 + 68) ft = 88 ft.
Correct Answer: 67500 sq.m
Explanation:
Let the length be 'l' and breadth be 'b'.
b = l × 3/4__________(a)
2(l+b) = 1050
l+b = 525___________(b)
From equations (a) and (b),
l = 300m, b = 225 m
Area = l × b
= 300 × 225
= 67500 sq.m.
Correct Answer: 90%
Explanation:
Let length, breadth and height of the room be 7, 3, 1 unit respectively.
Area of walls = 2(l+b)xh = 2(7+3)x1 = 20 sq. unit.
Now, length, breadth and height of room will become 3.5, 6 and 2 respectively.
Area of walls = 2(l+b)xh = 2(3.5+6)x2 = 38 sq. unit.
% Increase in the area of walls = (38-20)x100/20 = 90%.
Correct Answer: 117
Explanation:
Number of square units in 13 by 9 is given by the area it forms with length and breadth as 13 & 9
Area = 13 x 9 = 117
Hence, number of square units in 13 by 9 is 117 sq.units.
