- 2. The perimeter of a square is equal to twice the perimeter of a rectangle of length 8cm and breadth 7cm. What is the circumference of a semicircle whose diameter is equal to the side of the square ?
Options- A. 55.12 cm
- B. 22.54 cm
- C. 42.51 cm
- D. 38.57 cm Also asked in: GRE, GATE, CAT, Bank Exams, AIEEE, Bank PO, Bank Clerk
Correct Answer: 38.57 cm
Explanation:
We know that perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b) = 2(8+7)= 30cm
Given perimeter of square is twice the perimeter of rectangle = 2(30) = 60cm
Therefore, side of the square is = 1/4 x 60 = 15cm
Circumference of the required semicircle =
=
= 23.57 + 15 = 38.57cm.
- 3. If a 36 cm thread is used to wrap a book, lengthwise twice and breadth wise once, what is the size of the book ?
Options- A. 288 sq.cm
- B. 188 sq.cm
- C. 144 sq.cm
- D. 244 sq.cm Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, GRE, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 288 sq.cm
Explanation:
Length of the thread is 36 cms.
length wise twice breath wise once then totally thrice.
so 36/3 = 12.
so length is 12 x 2 = 24 cms
breath is 12 cms
Area of the book = length x breath = 24 x 12 = 288 sq.cm
- 4. A man walking at the speed of 4 kmph crosses a square field diagonally in 3 meters.The area of the field is
Options- A. 10000
- B. 20000
- C. 30000
- D. 40000 Also asked in: Bank Exams, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 20000
Explanation:
speed of the man = 4 x (5/18) m/sec = 10/9 m/sec
time taken = 3 x 60 sec = 180 sec
length of diagonal = speed x time = (10/9) x 180 = 200m
Area of the field = (1/2) x (dioagonal)²
= (1/2) x 200 x 200 sq.m = 20000sq.m
- 5. The length of a rectangular plot is 20 meters more than its breadth. If the cost of fencing the plot @ 26.50 per meter is Rs. 5300. What is the length of the plot in meter?
Options- A. 40m
- B. 50m
- C. 60m
- D. 10m Also asked in: Bank Exams, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 60m
Explanation:
let breadth = x then length = x+20
perimeter = 5300/26.50 = 200m
2(x+20+x) =200 => 4x+40 =200
x = 40 and length = 40+20 = 60m
- 6. If the ratio of two squares is 225:256,then the ratio of the perimeters is
Options- A. 25:16
- B. 15:16
- C. 16:15
- D. 17:16 Also asked in: Bank Exams, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 15:16
Explanation:
- 7. The area of a square is 1024 sq.cm. What is the ratio of the length to the breadth of a rectangle whose length is twice the side of the square and breadth is 12 cm less than the side of this square ?
Options- A. 14:9
- B. 13:12
- C. 16:5
- D. 17:13 Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, GRE, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 16:5
Explanation:
Area of a square SxS = 1024 => S = 32 cm
Length of the rectangle = 32x2 cm = 64 cm
Breadth of the rectangle = 32 - 12 = 20 cm
Required ratio = 64 : 20 = 16 : 5
- 8. A rectangular grassy plot 120 m. by 60 m has a gravel path 1.5 m wide all round it on the inside. Find the cost of gravelling the path at 65 paise per sq. metre ?
Options- A. Rs. 345.15
- B. Rs. 245.1
- C. Rs. 234.18
- D. Rs. 456.65 Also asked in: CAT, Bank Exams, Bank PO
Correct Answer: Rs. 345.15
Explanation:
area of the plot = 120m x 60m = 7200 sq.m
area of plot excluding gravel = 117m x 57m = 6669 sq.m
area of gravel = 7200 sq.m - 6669 sq.m = 531 sq.m
cost of building it = 531 sq.m x 65 ps = 34515 ps
In Rs. = 34515/100 = Rs. 345.15.
- 9. The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 32 cm and each of the equal sides is 5/6 times of the base. What is the area (in cm2 ) of the triangle ?
