- Question
A rectangular red carpet of size 6 ft ×12 ft has a dark red border 6 inches wide. What is the area of the dark red border?
Options- A. 9 square feet
- B. 15 square feet
- C. 17 square feet
- D. 18 square feet
- Correct Answer
- 17 square feet
ExplanationInitially carpet is 6×12 = 72 sq feetSince red border is 6 inches wide from all 4 sideSo area without border = 5× 11 = 55 sq feetArea of border = total?area without border = 72?55 = 17 sq feet - 1.

Correct Answer: 462 square cm
Correct Answer: Only one
Explanation:
let n-1, n, n+1 be 3 consecutive integers
So
(n+1)^2= n^2+ (n-1)^2
(n+1)^2-(n-1)^2= n^2
4n = n^2
So n = 0 or n = 4
n can?t be 0 as n-1 will be negative then
So 3,4 and 5 is the only triplet formed.
Correct Answer: a(?2 ?1)
Correct Answer: 1144 cub.cm
Correct Answer: 288 sq.cm
Explanation:
Let lengths, breadth and height of cuboid be l, b and h respectively
According to question
l+b+h = 22cm......(i)
and
?(l^2+b^2+h^2) = 14cm .....(ii)
Surface area of cuboid = 2(lb+bh+lh)
Squaring eq (i) gives
+ 2(lb+bh+lh) = 484
Substituting l^2+b^2+h^2 from eq (i)
2(lb+bh+lh) = 484 -196 = 288 sq.cm
Correct Answer: Both 1 and 2
Explanation:
Since it is an isosceles trapezium
So angle C = angle D = x
let A = 180 ?D = 180 ?x (since AB is parallel to CD)
B = 180-x
A+C = 180 ?x + x = 180 degrees (Property of cyclic quadrilateral)
ABCD is cyclic parallelogram with AB // CD and AD // BC
Considering angles A = C = y (Property of parallelogram) and B=D = x Also since it is cyclic A+C = B+D = 180 degrees
So x=y=90 degrees And also opposite sides are equal being a parallelogram
Thus ABCD is a rectangle
Correct Answer: Neither 1 nor 2
Explanation:
(1)
Only one circle can be drawn through 3 non collinear points
Angle in the minor segment is always obtuse
Correct Answer: Neither 1 nor 2
Explanation:
(1)
Only one circle can be drawn through 3 non collinear points
Angle in the minor segment is always obtuse
Correct Answer: 1, 2 and 3
Explanation:
AC-AB<BC Or AB+BC>AC
BC-AC<AB Or AB+AC>BC
AB-BC<AC Or AC+BC>AB
Sum of 2 sides of triangle is always greater than the third side
So all three statements are true
Correct Answer: 290
