- 4. A took 15 seconds to cross a rectangular field diagonally walking at the rate of 52 m/min and B took the same time to cross the same field along its sides walking at the rate of 68m/min. The area of the field is?
Options- A. 50
- B. 60
- C. 70
- D. 80 Also asked in: Bank Exams, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 60
Explanation:
length of the diagonal = 52 x (15/60) =13m
sum of length and breadth = 68 x (15/60) = 17m
area =lb = 1/2[(2lb)] = 1/2[(l+b)² - (l²+b²)] = 1/2[17² -169]
=1/2 x 120 = 60 sq.m
- 5. The circumference of a circle, whose area is 24.64 sq.m
Options- A. 14.64
- B. 16.36
- C. 17.60
- D. 18.40 Also asked in: Bank Exams, Bank PO

- 6. In an old Palace there are 50 stairs to go on top floor. Each is 20 cm high, 30 cm wide and 60 cm long. If all the stairs are re-plastered at the rate of Rs. 4 per 100 sq.cm. What is the expenditure ?
Options- A. Rs. 4680
- B. Rs. 7600
- C. Rs. 6000
- D. Rs. 5480 Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: Rs. 6000
Explanation:
Total are of all stairs = 50 (20x60 + 30x60)
= 50 (1200 + 1800)
= 50 x 3000
= 150000 sq cm.
Given rate of 100 sq cm = Rs. 4
Then for 150000 sq. cm = ?
=> 4 x 150000/100 = Rs. 6000
- 7. The length of a rectangle is 10 cm more than the breadth. Find the diagonal length of rectangle if perimeter is 44 cm ?
Options- A. 12.50 cm
- B. 14.21 cm
- C. 15.98 cm
- D. 17.08 cm Also asked in: CAT, Bank Exams, AIEEE, Bank PO, Bank Clerk
Correct Answer: 17.08 cm
Explanation:
Let the length of the rectangle = L cm
Then the breadth of the rectangle = (L - 10) cm
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L + B) cm
=> 44 = 2(L + L - 10)
=> 44 = 4L - 20
=> 4L = 64
=> L = 16 cm
=> B = L - 10 = 6 cm
Diagonal = = = 17.08 cm
- 8. The diagonal of the floor of a rectangular closet is 7 12 feet. The shorter side of the closet is 4 12 feet. What is the area of the closet in square feet?
Options- A. 9
- B. 18
- C. 27
- D. 36 Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 27
Explanation:
Other side = = = = 6 ft
Area of closet = (6 x 4.5) sq. ft = 27 sq. ft.
- 9. The altitude drawn to the base of an isosceles triangle is 8 cm and the perimeter is 32 cm. Find the area of the triangle.
Options- A. 24
- B. 48
- C. 60
- D. 72 Also asked in: Bank Exams, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 48
Explanation:
Let ABC be the isosceles triangle and AD be the altitude
Let AB = AC = x. Then, BC = (32 - 2x).
Since, in an isosceles triangle, the altitude bisects the base,
so BD = DC = (16 - x).
In triangle ADC,
BC = (32- 2x) = (32 - 20) cm = 12 cm.
Hence, required area =
- 10. In measuring the sides of a rectangle, one side is taken 5% in excess and the other 4% in deficit. Find the error percent in the area, calculate from the those measurements.
Options- A. .7%
- B. 0.8%
- C. 0.9%
- D. 0.3% Also asked in: Bank Exams, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 0.8%
Explanation:
let x and y be the sides of the rectangle then
correct area =
Error% = %
