Area problems
- 1. The length of a class room floor exceeds its breadth by 25 m. The area of the floor remains unchanged when the length is decreased by 10 m but the breadth is increased by 8 m. The area of the floor is
Options- A. 5100 sq.m
- B. 4870 sq.m
- C. 4987 sq.m
- D. 4442 sq.m Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO, IT Trainer
Correct Answer: 5100 sq.m
Explanation:
Let the breadth of floor be 'b' m.
Then, length of the floor is 'l = (b + 25)'
Area of the rectangular floor = l x b = (b + 25) × b
According to the question,
(b + 15) (b + 8) = (b + 25) × b
2b = 120
b = 60 m.
l = b + 25 = 60 + 25 = 85 m.
Area of the floor = 85 × 60 = 5100 sq.m.
- 2. 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.
- 3. 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
- 4. 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.
- 5. A circular piece of thin wire is converted into a rhombus of side 11 cm. Find the diameter of the circular piece?
Options- A. 28 cm
- B. 3.5 cm
- C. 7 cm
- D. 14 cm Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 14 cm
Explanation:
Circular piece is 4 x 11 = 44 cm long,
Then Circumference of circle is given by,
44 = pi x D, where D is the diameter
D = 44 / pi
Take pi = 22 / 7, then
D = 44 / (22/7) = (44 x 7) / 22
D = 14 cm.
- 6. Square units 13 by 9 of an office area is
Options- A. 97
- B. 117
- C. 107
- D. 127 Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 117
Explanation:
Square units 13 by 9 of an office means office of length 13 units and breadth 9 units.
Now its area is 13x 9 = 117 square units or units square.
- 7. 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
- 8. 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.
- 9. 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.
- 10. 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
