Options- A. 315
- B. 385
- C. 415
- D. 485
- Correct Answer
- 315
ExplanationLet 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: 56m
Explanation:
perimeter of the plot = 2(90+50) = 280m
no of poles =280/5 =56m
Correct Answer: 42
Explanation:
required area = [14 x 14 - (4 x 1/4 x 22/7 x 7 x 7) ]sq.cm
= 196 - 154 = 42 sq.cm.
Correct Answer: 0.8%
Explanation:
let x and y be the sides of the rectangle then
correct area =
Error% = %
Correct Answer: 48
Explanation:
Let ABC be the isosceles triangle and AD be the altitude
Let AB = AC = x. Then, BC = (32 - 2x).
Since, in an isosceles triangle, the altitude bisects the base,
so BD = DC = (16 - x).
In triangle ADC,
BC = (32- 2x) = (32 - 20) cm = 12 cm.
Hence, required 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: 1:1
Explanation:
A square and a rhombus on the same base are equal in area
Correct Answer: 126sq.ft
Explanation:
Let l = 9 ft.
Then l + 2b = 37
=> 2b = 37 ? l = 37 ? 9 = 28
b = 28/2 = 14 ft.
Area = lb = 9 × 14 = 126 sq. ft.
Correct Answer: 30 mts
Explanation:
The 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: 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
