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:
AnswerTotal 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 $= 40 - 24$

A rectangular carpet has area $120m^2$ and perimeter $46$ metres. The length of its diagonal is:
AnswerArea 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 $= l^2 + b^2 = 289$
$= 17m$ View full question & answer→MCQ 551 Mark
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
$2 : 3$
AnswerCorrect 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 $2 : 1.$ View full question & answer→MCQ 561 Mark

A rectangular field has its length and breadth in the ratio $5 : 3$ Its area is $3.75$ hectares the cost of fending it at $Rs 5$ per metre is:
- A
$Rs\ 400$
- ✓
$Rs\ 4000$
- C
$Rs\ 1000$
- D
$Rs\ 500$
AnswerCorrect 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 $= 2(l + b) = 2(250 + 150) \Rightarrow 2(250 + 150) \Rightarrow 2 \times 400 = 800m$
$\therefore$ Cost of fancing $=800 \times 5 = Rs. 4000$

Expenses of painting a wall from one side at the rate of $35 $per square metre are $Rs. 21000$. If the breadth of the wall is two-third of its length, what is the perimeter?
- A
$140m$
- ✓
$100m$
- C
$240m$
- D
$120m$
AnswerCorrect 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 $ABCD = 4 : 1$

The length of a rectangular field is thrice its breadth. Its perimeter is $400$ metres. Find its length and breadth:
- A
$250m$ and $50m$
- B
$150m$ and $40m$
- C
$100m$ and $50m$
- ✓
$150m$ and $50m$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $150m$ and $50m$
Breadth $= x$
Length $= 3x$
Perimeter$ = 2$(length + breadth)
Perimeter $\Rightarrow 2(x + 3x) = 400$
$\Rightarrow 2(4x) = 400$
$\Rightarrow x = 50$
Length $= 3x = 150m$
Breadth $= x = 50m$

The length of a rectangle is three times its width and the length of its diagonal is $6\ cm$. The perimeter of the rectangle is:
- ✓
$48\ cm$
- B
$36\ cm$
- C
$24\ cm$
- D
$24\sqrt{10}\text{cm}$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $48\ cm$
Let width of a rectangle $= x$
Then length $= 3x$
and diagonal $6\sqrt{10}\text{cm}$
$\therefore(3\text{x})^2+(\text{x})^2$
$=(6\sqrt{10})^2$

$9\text{x}^2+\text{x}^2=360$
$\Rightarrow 10\text{x}^2=360$
$\Rightarrow \text{x}^2=\frac{360}{10}$
$=36=(6)^2$
$\therefore$ Perimeter $= 2(l + b)$
$= 2(3x + x)$
$= 2 \times 4x = 8x$
$= 8 \times 6 = 48m$ View full question & answer→MCQ 911 Mark
The length of the wooden strip required to frame a photograph of length and breadth $39.5\ cm$ and $31\ cm$ respectively, is:
- A
$79\ cm$
- B
$1224.5\ cm$
- ✓
$141\ cm$
- D
$70.5\ cm$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $141\ cm$
Length of photograph $= 39.5\ cm$
Breadth of photograph $= 31\ cm$
$\therefore$ Required length of the wooden strip
= Perimeter of photograph
$= 2(39.5 + 31) = 2(70.5) = 141\ cm$

In a square shaped park whose side measures $28m$ a rectangular pond is located at the centre with dimension $3m$ and $2m$ the area of the park excluding the pond is:
- A
$784sq m$
- B
$6sq m$
- ✓
$778sq m$
- D
$708sq m$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $778sq m$
Area of pond $= 3m \times 2m = 6sq m$
area of park $= 28 \times 28$
$= 784sq m$
area of the park excluding the pond$= 784 - 6$
$= 778sq m$

Niharika walks thrice around a square field of side $22m.$ Girish walks twice around a rectangular field with length $10m$. and breadth $12m$. Who covers more distance and by how much?
- A
Girish, $20m$
- B
Niharika, $200m$
- C
Girish, $176m$
- ✓
Niharika, $176m$
AnswerCorrect option: D. Niharika, $176m$
Side of square field $= 22m$
Perimeter of square field $= 4 \times 22 = 88m$
Length of rectangular field $= 10m$
Breadth of rectangular field $= 12m$
Perimeter of rectangular field $= 2(10 + 12) = 2(22) = 44m$
$\therefore$ distance covered by Niharika $= 3 \times 88 = 264m$
And distance covered by Girish $= 2 \times 44 = 88m$
So, Niharika covers more distance than Girish and by $(264 - 88)m = 176m$

If the ratio of areas of two squares is $225 : 256$, then the ratio of their perimeters is:
- A
$225 : 256$
- B
$256 : 225$
- ✓
$15 : 16$
- D
$16 : 15$
AnswerCorrect 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 $= 15 : 16$
