Question 23 Marks
In the figure given below, find the area of shaded region: (All measurements are in cm)
Answer
Outer length $=30 cm$
and Outer breadth $=20 cm$
$\therefore$ Outer area $=1 \times b$
$=30 \times 20=600 cm^2$
Inner length $=12 cm$ and inner breadth $=12 cm$
Inner area $= I \times b =12 \times 12=144 cm^2$
Area of shaded portion
$=$ Area of outer figure - Area of inner figure $=600-144=456 cm^2$

Question 33 Marks
In the figure given below, find the area of shaded region: (All measurements are in cm)
Answer
Outer length $=20 cm$
and breadth $=16 cm$
$\therefore$ Outer area $=1 \times b$
$=20 \times 16 cm^2=320 cm^2$
Inner length = 15 cm
and $\operatorname{Inner}$ breadth $=10 cm$
$\therefore$ Inner area $=15 \times 10=150 cm^2$
$\therefore$ Area of shaded region $=$ Area of whole region - Area of unshaded region
$=320-150 cm^2=170 cm^2$

A wire is along the boundary of a circle with a radius of 28 cm. If the same wire is bent in the form of a square, find the area of the square formed.
Answer
Radius of circular wire $=28 \mathrm{~cm}$
$\therefore$ Circumference $=2 \pi r$
$ =2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 28 \mathrm{~cm}=176 \mathrm{~cm} $
$\therefore$ Perimeter of the square formed by this wire $=176 \mathrm{~cm}$

Question 63 Marks
 A metal wire, when bent in the form of a square of largest area, encloses an area of $484 cm^2$. Find the length of the wire. If the same wire is bent to the largest circle, find:
(i) radius of the circle formed.
(ii) area of the circle.
Answer
Area of the square made wire $=484 \mathrm{~cm}^2$

The diameter of the wheel of a car is 70 cm. How many revolutions will it make to travel one kilometer?
Answer

$ \begin{aligned} & \text { Diameter of a car wheel }(\mathrm{d})=70 \mathrm{~cm} \\ & \therefore \text { Circumference }=\pi \mathrm{d}=\frac{22}{7} \times 70 \\ & =220 \mathrm{~cm} \end{aligned} $
No. of revolutions in $1 \mathrm{~km}=\frac{220}{100} \mathrm{~m}$

Question 83 Marks
The circumference of a circle exceeds its diameter by 18 cm. find the radius of the circle.
Answer
Let $c$ be the circumference and $d$ be the diameter of the circle.
$ \begin{aligned} & \therefore c=d+18 \\ & \Rightarrow d \pi=d+18 \Rightarrow d \pi-d=18 \\ & d(\pi-1)=18 \\ & \Rightarrow d\left(\frac{22}{7}-1\right)=18 \\ & \Rightarrow d\left(\frac{15}{7}\right)=18 \\ & \Rightarrow d=\frac{18 \times 7}{15}=\frac{126}{15}=8.4 \mathrm{~cm} \\ & \therefore \text { Radius }=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{8.4}{2}=4.2 \mathrm{~cm} \end{aligned} $

Question 173 Marks
The lengths of the sides of two squares are in the ratio 8:15, find the ratio between their perimeters.
Answer
Let the side of first square = 8x
∴ Perimeter of first square = 4 × Side = 4 × 8x = 32x
and the side of second squares = 15x
∴ Perimeter of second square = 4 × Side = 4 × 15x = 60x
Now, the ratio between their perimeter = 32x : 60x= 8 : 15

Question 193 Marks
Find the diameter of a circle whose circumference is equal to the sum of circumference of circles with radius 10 cm, 12 cm, and 18 cm.
Answer
Let the radius of the circle = R cm
∴ 2πR = 2π × 10 + 2π × 12 + 2π × 18
On dividing each term by 2π, we get:
R = 10 + 12 + 18 = 40 cm
∴ Radius of the circle obtained = 40 cm
And, its diameter = 2 × Radius
= 2 × 40 cm = 80 cm

Question 253 Marks
The cost of fencing a square field at the rate of the cost of fencing 440 m = ₹150 × 440 = ₹75 per meter is the cost of fencing 440 m = ₹150 × 440 = ₹67,500. Find the perimeter and the side of the square field.
Answer
Length of the fence $\times$ its rate $=$ = ₹ 67,500
$\Rightarrow$ Length of the fence $=$ ₹ $\frac{67500}{75}=900 m$
$\therefore$ Perimeter of a square field $=$ length of its fence $=900 m$
Since, perimeter of a square $=4 \times$ Length of its side
$\Rightarrow$ Length of the side of the square
$
=\frac{\text { Perimeter }}{4}=\frac{900}{4}=225 m

Question 263 Marks
The length and the breadth of a rectangular plot are $135\ m$ and $65\ m.$ Find, its perimeter and the cost of fencing it at the rate of ₹ $60$ per m.
Answer
Given:
Length $(I)=135 m$
Breadth $(b)=65 m$

$ \text { Perimeter }=2(I+b)$
$=2(135+65)$
