Area problems
- 1. Find the ratio of the areas of the incircle and circumcircle of a square ?
Options- A. 1 : 4
- B. 4 : 1
- C. 2 : 1
- D. 1 : 2 Also asked in: CAT, Bank Clerk
Correct Answer: 1 : 2
- 2. 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
- 3. 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.
- 4. The difference between circumference and semidiameter of a circle is 37 cm. What is the diameter of the circle ?
Options- A. 18 cm
- B. 12 cm
- C. 16 cm
- D. 14 cm Also asked in: Bank Exams, AIEEE, Bank PO, Bank Clerk, GATE, CAT
Correct Answer: 14 cm
Explanation:
circumference of a circle = 2 r
=> 2 × 22/7 × r ? r = 37
=> 37/7 × r = 37
=> r = 7 cm.
Diameter D = 2r = 7×2 = 14 cm.
- 5. If the sides of a triangle are 26 cm, 24 cm and 10 cm, what is its area ?
Options- A. 108 sq.cm
- B. 112 sq.cm
- C. 116 sq.cm
- D. 120 sq.cm Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 120 sq.cm
Explanation:
The triangle with sides 26 cm, 24 cm and 10 cm is right angled, where the hypotenuse is 26 cm.
Area of the triangle =1/2 x base x height => 1/2 x 24 x 10 = 120 sq.cm
- 6. 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.
- 7. The breadth of a rectangular field is 75% of its length. If perimeter of the field is 1050 m, what will be th area of field ?
Options- A. 65700 sq.m
- B. 54500 sq.m
- C. 78700 sq.m
- D. 67500 sq.m Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 67500 sq.m
Explanation:
Let the length be 'l' and breadth be 'b'.
b = l × 3/4__________(a)
2(l+b) = 1050
l+b = 525___________(b)
From equations (a) and (b),
l = 300m, b = 225 m
Area = l × b
= 300 × 225
= 67500 sq.m.
- 8. The length, breadth and height of a room are in the ratio 7:3:1. If the breadth and height are doubled while the length is halved, then by what percent the total area of the 4 walls of the room will be increased ?
Options- A. 90%
- B. 88%
- C. 85%
- D. 84% Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 90%
Explanation:
Let length, breadth and height of the room be 7, 3, 1 unit respectively.
Area of walls = 2(l+b)xh = 2(7+3)x1 = 20 sq. unit.
Now, length, breadth and height of room will become 3.5, 6 and 2 respectively.
Area of walls = 2(l+b)xh = 2(3.5+6)x2 = 38 sq. unit.
% Increase in the area of walls = (38-20)x100/20 = 90%.
- 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.
