- Question
If a 36 cm thread is used to wrap a book, lengthwise twice and breadth wise once, what is the size of the book ?
Options- A. 288 sq.cm
- B. 188 sq.cm
- C. 144 sq.cm
- D. 244 sq.cm
- Correct Answer
- 288 sq.cm
ExplanationLength of the thread is 36 cms.
length wise twice breath wise once then totally thrice.
so 36/3 = 12.
so length is 12 x 2 = 24 cms
breath is 12 cms
Area of the book = length x breath = 24 x 12 = 288 sq.cm - 1. The perimeter of a square is equal to twice the perimeter of a rectangle of length 8cm and breadth 7cm. What is the circumference of a semicircle whose diameter is equal to the side of the square ?

Correct Answer: 38.57 cm
Explanation:
We know that perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b) = 2(8+7)= 30cm
Given perimeter of square is twice the perimeter of rectangle = 2(30) = 60cm
Therefore, side of the square is = 1/4 x 60 = 15cm
Circumference of the required semicircle =
=
= 23.57 + 15 = 38.57cm.
Correct Answer: 6:5
Explanation:
Required ratio =
Correct Answer: 22m/s
Explanation:
let each wheel make x revolutions per sec. Then
distance moved by smaller wheel in 3 revolutions
=
speed of smaller wheel = m/s = 22m/s
Correct Answer: 616
Explanation:
area of the field grazed = (22/7) * 14 * 14 = 616 sq feet
Correct Answer: 24
Explanation:
side of first square = 40/4 =10cm
side of second square = 32/4 = 8cm
area of third squre = 10² - 8² = 36 sq cm
side of third square = = 6 cm
required perimeter = 6*4 = 24cm
Correct Answer: 3
Correct Answer: 20000
Explanation:
speed of the man = 4 x (5/18) m/sec = 10/9 m/sec
time taken = 3 x 60 sec = 180 sec
length of diagonal = speed x time = (10/9) x 180 = 200m
Area of the field = (1/2) x (dioagonal)²
= (1/2) x 200 x 200 sq.m = 20000sq.m
Correct Answer: None of these
Explanation:
Let breadth = x metres.
Then, length = (x + 20) metres.
Perimeter = 5300 m = 200 m. 26.50
2[(x + 20) + x] = 200
2x + 20 = 100
2x = 80
x = 40.
Hence, length = x + 20 = 60 m.
Correct Answer: 15:16
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 16:5
Explanation:
Area of a square SxS = 1024 => S = 32 cm
Length of the rectangle = 32x2 cm = 64 cm
Breadth of the rectangle = 32 - 12 = 20 cm
Required ratio = 64 : 20 = 16 : 5
