The cost of fencing a rectangular field at $Rs. 30$ per meter is $Rs. 2400$. If the length of the field is $24m$, then its breadth is:
  • A
    $8m$
  • $16m$
  • C
    $18m$
  • D
    $24m$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$16m$

Total cost of fencing $= Rs. 2400$
Rate $= Rs. 30$ per m
Perimeter of the rectangular field $=\frac{2400}{30}$
$= 80m$
$\therefore$ Length + breadth $=\frac{80}{2}$
$= 40m$
Length of field $= 24m$
$\therefore$ Breadth $= 40 - 24$

MCQ 541 Mark
A rectangular carpet has area $120m^2$ and perimeter $46$ metres. The length of its diagonal is:
  • A
    $15m$
  • B
    $16m$
  • $17m$
  • D
    $20m$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$17m$
Area of the rectangle $= 120m^2$
Perimeter $= 46m$
Let the sides of the rectangle be l and b.
Therefore,
Area = lb
$= 120m^2 …(1)$
Perimeter $= 2(l + b) = 46$
Or, $(l + b)$
$=\frac{46}{2}$
$=23m …(2)$
Now, length of the diagonal of the rectangle $= l^2 + b^2$
So, we first find the value of $(l^2 + b^2)$
Using identity:
$(l^2 + b^2) = (l + b)^2 - 2(lb)$ [From $(1)$ and $(2)$]
Therefore,
$(l2 + b2) = (23)2 - 2(120)$
$= 529 - 240$
$= 289$
Thus, length of the diagonal of the rectangle $= l^2 + b^2 = 289$
$= 17m$

If the ratio between the length and the perimeter of a rectangular plot is $1 : 3$, then the ratio between the length and breadth of the plot is:
  • A
    $1 : 2$
  • $2 : 1$
  • C
    $3 : 2$
  • D
    $2 : 3$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$2 : 1$
It is given that, $\frac{\text{Length of the rectangle}}{\text{Perimeter of the rectangle}}=\frac{1}{3}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{l}}{(2\text{l}+2\text{b})}=\frac{1}{3}$
After cross multiplying, we get:
$3\text{l}=2\text{l}+2\text{b}$
$\Rightarrow\text{l}=2\text{b}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{l}}{\text{b}}=\frac{2}{1}$
Thus, the ratio of the length and the breadth is $2 : 1.$

    $Rs\ 400$
  • $Rs\ 4000$
  • C
    $Rs\ 1000$
  • D
    $Rs\ 500$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$Rs\ 4000$
Let the length and breadth be $5x$ and $3x$ Area $= 3.75$ hectares $= 3.75 \times 10000 = 37500.00sq.meter$
$\therefore 3x$
$\times$
$5x = 37500$
$\Rightarrow 15x^2= 37500$
$\Rightarrow 15x^2= 37500$
$\Rightarrow x^2= 2500$
$\Rightarrow x= 2500$
$\Rightarrow x = 50$
$\therefore$ length $= 5 \times 50 = 250m$ Breadth $= 3 \times 50 = 150m$ Perimeter of the field $= 2(l + b) = 2(250 + 150) \Rightarrow 2(250 + 150) \Rightarrow 2 \times 400 = 800m$

  • A
    $140m$
  • $100m$
  • C
    $240m$
  • D
    $120m$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$100m$

$\text{Area of wall} = \frac{\text{Total expenses}}{\text{ Rate}} = \frac{21000}{35}$
$= {600}\text{sq}.\text{m}$
$\text{Now}\text{ B} = \frac{2}{3} \text{L}$ $\text{and} \text{ L}\times\text{B} = {600}\text{m}^{2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{L}\times\frac{2}{3}\text{ L} = {600}$ $\text{L}^{2} = \frac{600\times}{2}{3} = {600}\text{m}^{2}$
$\Rightarrow \text{L} = {30} \text{m} \Rightarrow\text{B} = {20}\text{m}$
$\Rightarrow \text{perimeter} = {2}(\text{L+B})$
$\Rightarrow\text{perimeter} = {2} \big({30 + 20}\big)\text{m} = {100}\text{m}$

Let the two squares be $ABCD$ and $PQRS$. Further, the diagonal of square $PQRS$ is twice the diagonal of square $ABCD.$

$PR = 2AC$
Now, area of the square $=\frac{(\text{diagonal})^{2}}{2}$
Area of $PQRS =\frac{(\text{PR})^{2}}{2}$
Similarly, area of $ABCD =\frac{(\text{AC})^{2}}{2}$
According to the question:
If $AC = x$ units, then, $PR = 2x$ units
Therefore, $\frac{\text{Area of PQRS}}{\text{Area of ABCD}}=\frac{(\text{PR})^{2}\times2}{2\times(\text{AC})^{2}}$
$=\frac{(\text{PR})^{2}}{(\text{AC})^{2}}=\frac{(2\text{x})^{2}}{(1\text{x})^{2}}=\frac{4}{1}$
$=4:1$
Thus, the ratio of the areas of squares $PQRS$ and $ABCD = 4 : 1$

  • $1,080m^2$
  • B
    $640m^2$
  • C
    $1,620m^2$
  • D
    $2,160m^2$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$1,080m^2$
$1=\frac{6}{5}\text{b}$
$\text{perimeter}={132}$
$2\big( \frac{6}{5}\text{b}+\text{b}\big)={132}$
$\frac{11\text{b}}{5}=\frac{132}{2}$
$\text{b}={30}\text{m}$
$\text{Area} = {1}\times\text{b} = {36} \times {30}$
$1=\frac{6}{5}\times30=36\text{m}$
$\text{Area} = {1}\times\text{b} = {36} \times {30}$

  • B
    $50m, 30m$
  • C
    $40m, 25m$
  • D
    $30m, 20m$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$54m, 20m$

Let the length and breadth of rectangle be $l$ and $b .$
Given that length is 6m less than three times its breadth $\Rightarrow l = 3b − 6 ............................ (i)$
Given its perimeter is 148m.we k.n.t perimeter of a rectangle is $2(l + b) \Rightarrow 2(l + b)$
$=148\Rightarrow(1+\text{b})=\frac{148}{2}={74}............\text{(ii)}$
Substitute $(i)$ in $(ii) l + b = (3b - 6) + b = 744b$
$= 74 + 6$
$={80}\text{b}=\frac{80}{4}=20$
substituting value of $b$ in $(i) l = 3b - 6 = 3(20) - 6 = 60 - 6 = 54$
thus, length and breadth of given rectangle are $54m, 20m$

  • $48\ cm$
  • B
    $36\ cm$
  • C
    $24\ cm$
  • D
    $24\sqrt{10}\text{cm}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$48\ cm$
Let width of a rectangle $= x$
Then length $= 3x$
and diagonal $6\sqrt{10}\text{cm}$
$\therefore(3\text{x})^2+(\text{x})^2$
$=(6\sqrt{10})^2$

$9\text{x}^2+\text{x}^2=360$

$\Rightarrow \text{x}^2=\frac{360}{10}$
$=36=(6)^2$
$\therefore$ Perimeter $= 2(l + b)$
$= 2(3x + x)$
$= 2 \times 4x = 8x$

  • $15 : 16$
  • D
    $16 : 15$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$15 : 16$
Let the two squares be $ABCD$ and $PQRS$.
Further, let the lengths of each side of $ABCD$ and $PQRS$ be $x$ and $y$, respectively.
Therefore, $\frac{\text{Area of square ABCD}}{\text{Area of square PQRS}}=\frac{\text{x}^{2}}{\text{y}^{2}}$
$=\frac{225}{256}$
Taking square roots on both sides, we get:
$\frac{\text{x}}{\text{y}}=\frac{15}{16}$
Now, the ratio of their perimeters:
$\frac{\text{Perimeter of square ABCD}}{\text{Perimeter of square PQRS}}$
$\frac{4\times\text{side of square ABCD}}{4\times\text{side of square PQRS}}=\frac{4\text{x}}{4\text{y}}$
$\frac{\text{Perimeter of square ABCD}}{\text{Perimeter of square PQRS}}=\text{x}:\text{y}$
$\frac{\text{Perimeter of square ABCD}}{\text{Perimeter of square PQRS}}=\frac{15}{16}$
Thus, the ratio of their perimeters $= 15 : 16$
