The area of a rhombus is $144\ cm^2$ and one of its diagonals is double the other. The length of the longer diagonal is:
- A
$12\ cm$
- B
$16\ cm$
- C
$18\ cm$
- ✓
$24\ cm$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $24\ cm$
Area of a rhombus $=144\ cm^2$
Let one diagonal $\left(\mathrm{d}_1\right)=\mathrm{a}$
then Second diagonal $\left(\mathrm{d}_2\right)=2 \mathrm{a}$
$\therefore\frac{1}{2}\text{d}_1\times\text{d}_2=144$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}\text{a}\times2\text{a}=144$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}^2=144=(12)^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}=12$
Largar diagonal $= 2a = 2 \times 12 = 24\ cm$

On increasing each side of a square by $25\%$, the increase in area will be:
- A
$25\%$
- B
$55\%$
- C
$40.5\%$
- ✓
$56.25\%$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $56.25\%$
Let original side of square $= x$
area $=x^2$
Increased side $=\text{x}\times\Big(\frac{100+25}{100}\Big)$
$=\text{x}\times\frac{125}{100}=\frac{5}{4}\text{x}$
$\therefore\text{Area}=\Big(\frac{5}{4}\text{x}\Big)^2=\frac{25}{16}\text{x}^2$
$\therefore$ Increase in area $=\frac{25}{16}\text{x}^2-\text{x}^2$
$=\Big(\frac{25-16}{16}\Big)\text{x}^2$
$=\frac{9}{16}\text{x}^2$
$\%$ increase $=\frac{9}{16}\text{x}^2\times\frac{100}{\text{x}^2}$
$=\frac{9\times25}{4}\%=\frac{225}{4}\%$
$=56.25\%$

- ✓
$13500 \mathrm{~m}^2$
- C
$15000 \mathrm{~m}^2$
- D
$54000 \mathrm{~m}^2$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $13500 \mathrm{~m}^2$
Perimeter of rectangle $=480\text{m}$
$\therefore\text{l + b}=\frac{480}{2}=240\text{m}$
$\text{l : b}=5:3$
$\therefore\text{length}=\frac{240\times5}{5+3}=\frac{240\times5}{8}=150$
and breadth $=\frac{240\times3}{5+3}=\frac{240\times3}{8}=90\text{m}$
and area $=\text{l}\times\text{b}=150\times90=13500\text{m}^2$

- A
$308 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
- ✓
$154 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
- C
$77 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
- D
$616 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $154 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
Let the radius of the circle be $r\ cm$.
Circumference $=(2\pi\text{r})\text{cm}$
$(2\pi\text{r})=44$
$\Rightarrow\Big(2\times\frac{22}{7}\times\text{r}\Big)=44$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}=\Big(\frac{44\times7}{2\times22}\Big)=7\text{cm}$
$\therefore$ Area of the circle $=\pi\text{r}^2$
$=\Big(\frac{22}{7}\times7\times7\Big)\text{cm}^2=154\text{cm}^2$

- A
$80\ m$
- B
$120\ m$
- ✓
$90\ m$
- D
AnswerCorrect option: C. $90\ m$
Perimeter of rectangle $= 240\ m$

How many metres of carpet $63\ cm$ wide will be required to cover the floor of a room $14\ m$ by $9\ m$?
- ✓
$200\ m$
- B
$210\ m$
- C
$220\ m$
- D
$185\ m$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $200\ m$
Area of floor $=\mathrm{l} \times \mathrm{b}=14 \times 9=126 \mathrm{~m}^2$
Area of carpet $=126 \mathrm{~m}^2$
Width of carpet $=63\text{cm}=\frac{63}{100}\text{m}$
$\therefore$ Length of carpet $=\frac{\text{Area}}{\text{Width}}$
$=\frac{126\times100}{63}=200\text{m}$

Mark $(✓)$ against the correct answer. The area of a square is $50cm^2$. The length of its diagonal is:
- A
$5\sqrt{2}\text{cm}$
- ✓
$10\text{cm}$
- C
$10\sqrt{2}\text{cm}$
- D
$8\text{cm}$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $10\text{cm}$
Given that the area of the square is $50\ cm^2$
We know:
Area of a square
$=\Big\{\frac{1}{2}\times(\text{Diagonal})^2\Big\}\text{ sq. units}$
$\therefore$ Diagonal of the square $=\sqrt{2\times\text{Area of the square}}$
$=(\sqrt{2\times50})\text{cm}=(\sqrt{100})\text{cm}=10\text{cm}$
Hence, the diagonal of the square is $10\ cm$.

- A
$320 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
- B
$160 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
- ✓
$192 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
- D
$156 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $192 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
Length of rectangle $AB = 16\ cm$
and diagonal $BD = 20\ cm$

But, in right $\triangle\text{ABD}$
$B D^2=A B^2+A D^2$
$\Rightarrow(20)^2=(16)^2+A D^2$
$\Rightarrow 400=256+A D^2$
$\Rightarrow A D^2=400-256=144=(12)^2$
$\Rightarrow A D=12 \mathrm{~cm}$
$\text { Area }=l \times b=16 \times 12=192 \mathrm{~cm}^2$

AnswerCorrect option: C. $154 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
Let $r$ be the radius of the circle Then
$\text{c}=2\pi\text{r}$
$2\pi\text{r}-\text{r}=37$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}\Big(2\times\frac{22}{7}-1\Big)=37$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}\Big(\frac{44}{7}-1\Big)=37$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}\Big(\frac{37}{7}\Big)=37$

The length of a room is $15\ m$. The cost of carpeting it with a carpet $75\ cm$ wide at $Rs\ 50$ per metre is $Rs\ 6000$. The width of the room is:
- ✓
$6\ m$
- B
$8\ m$
- C
$13.4\ m$
- D
$18\ m$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $6\ m$
Total cost of carpet $=\text{Rs. }6000$
Rate per metre $=\text{Rs. }50$
$\therefore$ Length of carpet $=\frac{6000}{50}=120\text{m}$
Width $=75\text{cm}=\frac{3}{4}\text{m}$
$\therefore$ Area of room $=120\times\frac{3}{4}$
$=90\text{m}^2$
But length of room $=15\text{m}$
$\therefore\text{breadth} =\frac{\text{Area}}{\text{Length}}=\frac{90}{15}=6\text{m}$

- A
$6\ cm$
- B
$3.2\ cm$
- ✓
$3\ cm$
- D

$150 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $120 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
Perimeter $= 46\ cm$

$=\text{l + b}=\frac{46}{2}=23\text{ cm}$
and $ \mathrm{l}^2+\mathrm{b}^2=17^2=289$
Now $(\mathrm{l}+\mathrm{b})^2=(23)^2$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{l}^2+\mathrm{b}^2+2 \mathrm{l} b=529$
$\Rightarrow 289+2 \mathrm{lb}=529$
$\Rightarrow 2 \mathrm{lb}=529-289$
$\Rightarrow 21 \mathrm{~b}=240 $
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{lb}$
$=\frac{240}{2}=120$
Now area of rectangle $=\mathrm{lb}=120\ \mathrm{ cm}^2$ View full question & answer→MCQ 341 Mark
The radius of a circular wheel is $1.75m$. How many revolutions will it make in travelling $11km$?
- A
$10$
- B
$100$
- ✓
$1000$
- D
$10000$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $1000$
Radius of a circular wheel $(r)$ $=1.75\text{m}$
Circumference $=2\pi\text{r}=2\times\frac{22}{7}\times1.75\text{m}$
$=44\times0.25\text{m}=11\text{m}$
Total distance covered $=11\text{km}$
$\therefore$ No. of revolutions $=\frac{11\text{km}}{11\text{m}}$
$=\frac{11\times1000}{11}=1000$

The area of a circle is $24.64\ m^2$. The circumference of the circle is:
- A
$14.64\ m$
- B
$16.36\ m$
- ✓
$17.60\ m$
- D
$18.40\ m$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $17.60\ m$
Area of a circle $=24.64\text{m}^2$
$\therefore\text{Radius}=\sqrt{\frac{\text{Area}}{\pi}}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{24.64\times7}{22}}=\sqrt{1.12\times7}$
$=\sqrt{7.84}=2.8\text{m}$
$\therefore$ Circumference $=2\pi\text{r}$
$=2\times\frac{22}{7}\times2.8\text{m}$
$=17.60\text{m}$

The area of a rectangle $144\ m$ long is the same as that of a square of side $84\ m$. The width of the rectangle is:
AnswerCorrect option: C. $49\ m$
Side of square $=84\ m$
Area of square $=(84)^2=7056 m^2$
Area of rectangle $=7056 m^2$
Length of rectangle $=144 m$
Width $=\frac{\text { Area }}{\text { Length }}$

Mark $(✓)$ against the correct answer. The length and breadth of a rectangular park are in the ratio $4 : 3$ and its perimeter is 56m. The area of the field is:
- ✓
$192 m^2$
- B
$300 m^2$
- C
$432 m^2$
- D
$228 m^2$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $192 m^2$
Let the length of the rectangular park be $4x.$
Breadth $= 3x$
Perimeter of the park $= 2 (l + b) = 56m$ (given)
$\Rightarrow 56 = 2 (4x + 3x)$
$\Rightarrow 56 = 14x$
$\Rightarrow x = 4$
Length $= 4x = (4 × 4) = 16m$
Breadth $= 3x = (3 × 4) = 12m$
Area of the rectangular park $= 16m \times 12m=$ $192 m^2$
