- Question
The length of a rectangular plot is 20 metres more than its breadth. If the cost of fencing the plot @ 26.50 per metre is Rs. 5300, what is the length of the plot in metres?
Options- A. 40
- B. 120
- C. 50
- D. None of these
- Correct Answer
- None of these
ExplanationLet 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: 6 sq cm
Correct Answer: 20 sq. units
Correct Answer: 38.5
Correct Answer: 55.44
Correct Answer: 3?3 cm
Correct Answer: 4:25
Explanation:
let the diagonals of the squares be 2x and 5x respectively
ratio of their areas = = 4:25
Correct Answer: 2a
Explanation:
Area of a square with side a = a² sq unts
Area of a triangle with base a = (1/2) * a * h sq.unts
a² =1/2 *a *h
=> h = 2a
altitude of the triangle is 2a
Correct Answer: 196
Explanation:
Perimeter of a square p=4s ,where s=length of its side
=> p=4(14)=56 feets
Area of a square A = s x s
=> A=196
The perimeter is 56 feet, and the area is 196 square feet.
Correct Answer: P=R
Explanation:
let each have base = b and height = h
then p = b*h, R = b*h and T = (1/2) * b*h
so P = R, P = 2T and T = (1/2)*R are all correct statements
Correct Answer: 30%
Explanation:
let the side of the square be x meters
length of two sides = 2x meters
diagonal =
= 1.414x m
saving on 2x meters = .59x m
saving % = %
= 30% (approx)
