required area = (area of an equilateral triangle of side 7 cm)- (3 * area of sector with à = 60 degrees and r = 3.5cm)
sq cm
= sq cm
= 1.967 sq cm
- 2. The dimensions of a room are 10m x 7m x 5m. There are 2 doors and 3 windows in the room. The dimensions of the doors are 1m x 3m. One window is of size 2m x 1.5m and the other 2 windows are of size 1m x 1.5m. The cost of painting the walls at Rs. 3 per sq m is
Options- A. Rs.174
- B. Rs.274
- C. Rs.374
- D. Rs.474 Also asked in: Bank Exams, Bank PO
Correct Answer: Rs.474
Explanation:
Area of 4 walls = 2(l+b)h
=2(10+7) x 5 = 170 sq m
Area of 2 doors and 3 windows = 2(1x3)+(2x1.5)+2(1x1.5) = 12 sq m
area to be planted = 170 -12 = 158 sq m
Cost of painting = Rs. 158 x 3 = Rs. 474
- 3. Area of a square and a rectangle are equal. If side of the square is 40 cm and length of the rectangle is 64 cm, what is the perimeter of the rectangle ?
Options- A. 187 cm
- B. 178 cm
- C. 149 cm
- D. 194 cm Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 178 cm
Explanation:
Area of square = 40 x 40
= 1600 sq.cm
Given that the areas of Square and Rectangle are equal
=> Area of rectangle = 1600 Sq.cm
We know that, Area of rectangle = L x B
Given L = 64 cm
Breadth of rectangle = 1600/64 = 25 cm
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(L + B) = 2(64+25) = 178 cm.
- 4. The base of a parallelogram is twice its height. If the area of the parallelogram is 72 sq. cm, find its height
Options- A. 6
- B. 7
- C. 8
- D. 9 Also asked in: Bank Exams, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 6
Explanation:
Let the height of the parallelogram be x. cm. Then, base = (2x) cm.
- 5. The area of a square is equal to the area of a rectangle. The length of the rectangle is 5 cm more than a side of the square and its breadth is 3 cm less than the side of the square. What is the perimeter of the rectangle ?
Options- A. 15 cm
- B. 18 cm
- C. 34 cm
- D. 26 cm Also asked in: GATE, CAT, Bank Exams, AIEEE, Bank PO, Bank Clerk
Correct Answer: 34 cm
Explanation:
Let the side of the square be 's' cm
length of rectangle = (s+5) cm
breadth of rectangle = (s-3)cm
(s+5) (s-3) =
- 5s - 3s - 15 =
2s = 15
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(L+B) = 2(s+5 + s?3) = 2(2s + 2)
= 2(15 + 2) = 34 cm
- 6. The question given below contain two statements giving certain data. You have to decide whether the data given in the statements are sufficient for answering the question ? Question : What is the height of a right-angled triangle ? Statements : A. The area of the triangle is 20 times its base. B. The perimeter of the triangle is equal to that of a square of the side 10 cm.
Options- A. Only statement A is required
- B. Only statement B is required
- C. Both A & B are required
- D. Neither (A) nor (B) is reuired Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: Only statement A is required
Explanation:
From statement (A),
20b = (1/2) × b × h
h = 40 cm.
- 7. A room is half as long again as it is broad. The cost of carpeting the at Rs. 5 per sq.m is Rs. 270 and the cost of papering the four walls at Rs. 10 per sq.m is Rs. 1720. If a door and 2 windows occupy 8 sq. m, find the dimensions of the room.
Options- A. b=6; l=18; H=6
- B. b=5; l=6; H=18
- C. l=6; b=18; H=15
- D. l=5; b=18; H=18 Also asked in: Bank Exams, Bank PO
Correct Answer: b=6; l=18; H=6
Explanation:
Let breadth = x metres, length = 3x metres, height = H metres.
Area of the floor=(Total cost of carpeting)/(Rate) = (270/5) sq.m = 54 sq.m
So, breadth = 6 m and length = = 9 m.
Now, papered area = (1720/10) = 172 sq.m
Area of 1 door and 2 windows = 8 sq.m
Total area of 4 walls = (172 + 8) sq.m = 180 sq.m
- 8. A man runs round a circular field of radius 50m at the speed of 12 km/hr. What is the time taken by the man to take twenty rounds of the field?
Options- A. 220/7 min
- B. 110/7 min
- C. 90/7 min
- D. 230/7 min Also asked in: Bank Exams, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 220/7 min
Explanation:
speed = 12 km/h =
distance covered =
time taken = distance /speed =
- 9. A rectangular lawn 55m by 35m has two roads each 4m wide running in the middle of it. One parallel to the length and the other parallel to breadth. The cost of graveling the roads at 75 paise per sq meter is
Options- A. rs.58
- B. rs.158
- C. rs.258
- D. rs.358 Also asked in: Bank Exams, Bank PO
Correct Answer: rs.258
Explanation:
area of cross roads = (55 x 4) + (35 x 4)- (4 x 4) = 344sq m
cost of graveling = 344 x (75/100) = Rs. 258
- 10. The cost of fencing a square field @ Rs. 20 per metre is Rs.10.080.How much will it cost to lay a three meter wide pavement along the fencing inside the field @ Rs. 50 per sq m
Options- A. 53800
- B. 43800
- C. 83800
- D. 73800 Also asked in: Bank Exams, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 73800
Explanation:
perimeter = total cost / cost per m = 10080 /20 = 504m
side of the square = 504/4 = 126m
breadth of the pavement = 3m
side of inner square = 126 - 6 = 120m
area of the pavement = (126 x126) - (120 x 120) = 246 x 6 sq m
cost of pavement = 246*6*50 = Rs. 73800
