- Question
If the length of a certain rectangle is decreased by 4 cm and the width is increased by 3 cm, a square with the same area as the original rectangle would result. Find the perimeter of the original rectangle.
Options- A. 20
- B. 30
- C. 40
- D. 50
- Correct Answer
- 50
ExplanationLet x and y be the length and breadth of the rectangle respectively.
Then, x - 4 = y + 3 or x - y = 7 ----(i)
Area of the rectangle =xy; Area of the square = (x - 4) (y + 3)
(x - 4) (y + 3) =xy <=> 3x - 4y = 12 ----(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii), we get x = 16 and y = 9.
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 (x + y) = [2 (16 + 9)] cm = 50 cm. - 1. The length and the breadth of rectangular field are in the ratio of 8 : 7. If charges of the painting the boundary of rectangle is at Rs. 10 per meter is Rs. 3000. What is the area of rectangular plot?

Correct Answer: 5600 sq.m
Explanation:
Perimeter of the rectangle is given by 3000/10 = 300 mts
But we know,
The Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(l + b)
Now,
2(8x + 7x) = 300
30x = 300
x = 10
Required, Area of rectangle = 8x x 7x = 56 x 100 = 5600 sq. mts.
Correct Answer: 56m
Explanation:
Length of the wire fencing = perimeter = 2(90 + 50) = 280 metres
Two poles will be kept 5 metres apart. Also remember that the poles will be placed along the perimeter of the rectangular plot, not in a single straight line which is very important.
Hence number of poles required = 280 / 5 = 56
Correct Answer: 814
Explanation:
Length of largest tile = H.C.F. of 1517 cm and 902 cm = 41 cm.
Area of each tile =
Required number of tiles = = 814
Correct Answer: 432 sq.mts
Explanation:
Let the breadth of the rectangle = b mts
Then Length of the rectangle = b + 6 mts
Given perimeter = 84 mts
2(L + B) = 84 mts
2(b+6 + b) = 84
2(2b + 6) = 84
4b + 12 = 84
4b = 84 - 12
4b = 72
b = 18 mts
=> Length = b + 6 = 18 + 6 = 24 mts
Now, required Area of the rectangle = L x B = 24 x 18 = 432 sq. mts
Correct Answer: 1 : 2
Correct Answer: 140
Explanation:
distance covered in 1 revolution =
= 2 x (22/7) x 20 = 880/7 cm
required no of revolutions = 17600 x (7/880) = 140
Correct Answer: 14
Explanation:
Distance covered in one revolution = = 88m.
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: 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: 64%
Explanation:
Area of the sheet =
Area used for typing =
required % = =64%
