The length of a rope in meter by which a cow must be tethered in order that she may be able to graze an area of 2826 sq.m is ?
Options- A. 15 mts
- B. 30 mts
- C. 24 mts
- D. 36 mts
- Correct Answer
- 30 mts
ExplanationThe cow can graze an area of 2826 sq.m i.e it is able to cover area of circle of 2826 sq.m
Therefore, =2826
=(2826×7/22) = 899.18 = 900
r = 30 m.Therefore, the radius of the circle implies the length of the rope = 30 mts.

Correct Answer: 56m
Explanation:
perimeter of the plot = 2(90+50) = 280m
no of poles =280/5 =56m
Correct Answer: 1:1
Explanation:
A square and a rhombus on the same base are equal in area
Correct Answer: 27
Explanation:
Other side = = = = 6 ft
Area of closet = (6 x 4.5) sq. ft = 27 sq. ft.
Correct Answer: 8
Correct Answer: 315
Explanation:
Let the areas of the two parts be x and (700-x) hectares
therefore,
So, the two parts are 385 and 315.
Hence, Area of the smaller = 315 hectares
Correct Answer: Rs. 4082.40
Explanation:
Length of the first carpet = (1.44)(6) = 8.64 cm
Area of the second carpet = 8.64(1 + 40/100) 6 (1 + 25/100)
= 51.84(1.4)(5/4) sq m = (12.96)(7) sq m
Cost of the second carpet = (45)(12.96 x 7) = 315 (13 - 0.04) = 4095 - 12.6 = Rs. 4082.40
Correct Answer: 25%
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 680rs
Explanation:
area of theplot = 110 * 65 = 7150 sq.m
area of the plot excluding the path = (110-5)* (65-5) = 6300 sq.m
area of the path = 7150 - 6300 =850 sq.m
cost of gravelling the path = 850 x (80/100) = 680 Rs
Correct Answer: ay:bx
Explanation:
a : b =(1/2 * x * H) : (1/2 * y * h)
bxH = ayh => H/h =ay/bx
Hence H:h = ay:bx
