- Question
The base of a triangular field is three times its altitude. If the cost of cultivating the field at Rs. 24.68 per hectare be Rs. 333.18, find its base and height.
Options- A. B=900;H=300
- B. B=300;H=900
- C. B=600;H=700
- D. B=500;H=900
- Correct Answer
- B=900;H=300
ExplanationArea of the field = Total cost/rate = (333.18/25.6) = 13.5 hectares
Let altitude = x metres and base = 3x metres.
Then,Base = 900 m and Altitude = 300 m.

Correct Answer: 3
Explanation:
Area of the park = (60 x 40) = 2400
Area of the lawn = 2109
Area of the crossroads = (2400 - 2109) = 291
Let the width of the road be x metres. Then,
(x - 97)(x - 3) = 0
x = 3.
Correct Answer: 30
Explanation:
Let breadth = x m
Then, length = (x+5)m
Area of a rectangle = Length x Breadth
x(x+5) = 750
x² + 5x - 750= 0
(x+30)(x-25)= 0
x = 25 or x = -30
Hence, breadth x = 25m
=> Length = x + 5 = 25 + 5 = 30m.
Correct Answer: a
Explanation:
We know that d=?2s
Given diagonal = 20 cm
=> s = 20/ cm
Therefore, perimeter of the square is 4s = 4 x 20/ = 40 cm.
Correct Answer: 60
Explanation:
let ABC be the isosceles triangle, the AD be the altitude
Let AB = AC = x then BC= 32-2x [because parameter = 2 (side) + Base]
since in an isoceles triange the altitude bisects the base so
BD = DC = 16-x
In a triangle ADC,
BC = 32-2x = 32-20 = 12 cm
Hence, required area = = = 60 sq cm
Correct Answer: 120
Explanation:
Other side = [(17 x 17) - (15 x 15)] = (289 - 225) = 8m
Area = 15 x 8 =120 sq. m
Correct Answer: Rs. 558
Explanation:
Area to be plastered =
=
Cost of plastering =
Correct Answer: 6 cm
Explanation:
Let height =x Then, base =2x
2x * x = 72
=>x=6
Correct Answer: 4:1
Explanation:
ratio =
Correct Answer: 176
Explanation:
Area of the room=(544 * 374)
size of largest square tile= H.C.F of 544 & 374 = 34 cm
Area of 1 tile = (34 x 34)
Number of tiles required== [(544 x 374) / (34 x 34)] = 176
Correct Answer: 30
Explanation:
Height of the triangle = = 5 cm.
Its area = = = .
