Area problems
- 1. Two concentric circles form a ring. The inner and outer circumference of the ring are 352/7 m and 528/7m respectively.Find the width of the ring.
Options- A. 5
- B. 4
- C. 3
- D. 2 Also asked in: Bank Exams, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
let the inner and outer radii be r and R meters
then,
= 352/7
=> r = (352/7) * (7/22) * (1/2) = 8m
= 528/7
=> R= (528/7) * (7/22) * (1/2)= 12m
width of the ring = R-r = 12-8 = 4m
- 2. The perimeters of two squares are 40cm and 32 cm. Find the perimeter of a third square whose area is equal to the difference of the areas of the two squares.
Options- A. 12
- B. 24
- C. 36
- D. 48 Also asked in: Bank Exams, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 24
Explanation:
side of first square = 40/4 =10cm
side of second square = 32/4 = 8cm
area of third squre = 10² - 8² = 36 sq cm
side of third square = = 6 cm
required perimeter = 6*4 = 24cm
- 3. A cow s tethered in the middle of a field with a 14feet long rope.If the cow grazes 100 sq feet per day, then approximately what time will be taken by the cow to graze the whole field?
Options- A. 616
- B. 716
- C. 816
- D. 516 Also asked in: Bank Exams, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 616
Explanation:
area of the field grazed = (22/7) * 14 * 14 = 616 sq feet
- 4. Wheels of diameters 7cm and 14cm start rolling simultaneously from x & y which are 1980 cm apart towards each other in opposite directions. Both of them make the same number of revolutions per second. If both of them meet after 10seconds.The speed of the smaller wheel is
Options- A. 22m/s
- B. 33m/s
- C. 44m/s
- D. 55m/s Also asked in: Bank Exams, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 22m/s
Explanation:
let each wheel make x revolutions per sec. Then
distance moved by smaller wheel in 3 revolutions
=
speed of smaller wheel = m/s = 22m/s
- 5. The length of the rectangle is 20% more than its breadth . what will be the ratio of the area of the rectangle to that of the square whose side is equal to the breadth of the rectangle?
Options- A. 2:1
- B. 5:6
- C. 6:5
- D. data is inadequate Also asked in: Bank Exams, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 6:5
Explanation:
Required ratio =
- 6. 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.
- 7. 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
- 8. 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
- 9. 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
- 10. 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
