Area problems
- 1. The length of a rectangular hall is 5m more than its breadth. The area of the hall is 750 sq.m. The length of the hall is
Options- A. 20
- B. 25
- C. 30
- D. 35 Also asked in: CAT, Bank Exams, AIEEE, Bank PO, Bank Clerk, Analyst
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.
- 2. The length of a class room floor exceeds its breadth by 25 m. The area of the floor remains unchanged when the length is decreased by 10 m but the breadth is increased by 8 m. The area of the floor is
Options- A. 5100 sq.m
- B. 4870 sq.m
- C. 4987 sq.m
- D. 4442 sq.m Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO, IT Trainer
Correct Answer: 5100 sq.m
Explanation:
Let the breadth of floor be 'b' m.
Then, length of the floor is 'l = (b + 25)'
Area of the rectangular floor = l x b = (b + 25) × b
According to the question,
(b + 15) (b + 8) = (b + 25) × b
2b = 120
b = 60 m.
l = b + 25 = 60 + 25 = 85 m.
Area of the floor = 85 × 60 = 5100 sq.m.
- 3. Square units 13 by 9 of an office area is
Options- A. 97
- B. 117
- C. 107
- D. 127 Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 117
Explanation:
Square units 13 by 9 of an office means office of length 13 units and breadth 9 units.
Now its area is 13x 9 = 117 square units or units square.
- 4. Find the area of the trapezium, whose parallel sides are 12 cm and 10 cm, and distance between the parallel sides is 14 cm?
Options- A. 121 sq.com
- B. 154 sq.com
- C. 186 sq.com
- D. 164 sq.com Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 154 sq.com
Explanation:
We know that,
Area of trapezium = 1/2 x (Sum of parallel sides) x (Distance between Parallel sides)
= 1/2 x (12 + 10) x 14
= 22 x 14/2
= 22 x 7
= 154 sq. cm
- 5. The sides of a right-angled triangle are 12 cm, 16 cm, 20 cm respectively. A new right angle Δ is made by joining the midpoints of all the sides. This process continues for infinite then calculate the sum of the areas of all the triangles so made.
Options- A. 312 sq.cm
- B. 128 sq.cm
- C. 412 sq.cm
- D. 246 sq.cm Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 128 sq.cm
- 6. The perimeter of a rectangle whose length is 6 m more than its breadth is 84 m. What will be the area of the rectangle?
Options- A. 333 sq.mts
- B. 330 sq.mts
- C. 362 sq.mts
- D. 432 sq.mts Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
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
- 7. 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?
Options- A. 5600 sq.m
- B. 1400 sq. m
- C. 4400 sq.m
- D. 3600 sq.m Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
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.
- 8. Find the area of the square whose side is equal to the diagonal of a rectangle of length 3 cm and breadth 4 cm.
Options- A. 25 sq.cm
- B. 16 sq.cm
- C. 9 sq.cm
- D. 4 sq.cm Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO, IT Trainer
Correct Answer: 25 sq.cm
Explanation:
Given length of the rectangle = 3 cm
Breadth of the rectangle = 4 cm
Then, the diagonal of the rectangle
Then, it implies side of square = 5 cm
We know that Area of square = S x S = 5 x 5 = 25 sq.cm.
- 9. How many square units in 13 by 9?
Options- A. 13
- B. 9
- C. 117
- D. 13/9 Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 117
Explanation:
Number of square units in 13 by 9 is given by the area it forms with length and breadth as 13 & 9
Area = 13 x 9 = 117
Hence, number of square units in 13 by 9 is 117 sq.units.
- 10. What is the area of an obtuse angled triangle given below with two sides are 8 and 12 and the angle included between two sides is 150 deg?
Options- A. 48 sq units
- B. 24 sq units
- C. 12 sq units
- D. 6 sq units Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 24 sq units
Explanation:
We know that,
The area of a triangle with two sides given and included angle
A = 1/2 x product of sides x Sin(angle)
Here the two sides are 8 & 12
Angle = 150
Area = 1/2 x 8 x 12 x sin150
Sin(150) = sin(90+60) = cos(60) = 1/2
A = 48 x 1/2 = 24
Area of the given triangle = 24 sq units.
