If the perimeter of a square is $(4y + 12)m$, then the length of its diagonal is:
- A
$\frac{\text{y+3}}{\sqrt{2}}\text{m}$
- ✓
$\sqrt{2} \big(\text{y} + {3}\big)\text{m}$
- C
$\sqrt{2} \big(\text{4y} + {12}\big)\text{m}$
- D
$\frac{4\text{y}+12}{\sqrt2}\text{m}$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $\sqrt{2} \big(\text{y} + {3}\big)\text{m}$
Consider the given perimeter of the square is $= ( 4y + 12 )m$
We know, perimeter of the square $= 4 \times $side
$(4y + 12) = 4 \times $ side.
$\text{ side } \frac{4\text{y}+12}{4} = \text{y} + {3}$
Now, length of diagonal of the square
$ = \sqrt{(\text{side})^{2} + (\text{side}^{2})}$
$= \sqrt{(\text{y+3}^{2} + (\text{y + 3})^{2}}$
$ = \sqrt{2}.(\text{y} + {3})\text{m}$

- ✓
Length is $20m$ and Breadth is $16m$
- C
Length is $40m$ and Breadth is $30m$
- D
Length is $45m$ and Breadth is $18m$
AnswerCorrect option: B. Length is $20m$ and Breadth is $16m$
Let the width of the garden $= x$ meter
Then length $= (x + 4)$ meter
Half perimeter $= 36m$
So perimeter of garden $= (2 \times 36) = 72$ meters
According to the question
$\Rightarrow 2(l + b) = 72$
$\Rightarrow 2(x + x + 4) = 72$
$\Rightarrow 2x + 2x + 4 = 74$
$\Rightarrow 4x = 64$
$\Rightarrow x = 16$ meters
The length of the garden $= (16 + 4) = 20$ meters

Perimeter remains same but area changes.
- B
Area remains the same but perimeter changes.
- C
Both area and perimeter are changing.
- D
Both area and perimeter remain the same.
AnswerCorrect option: A. Perimeter remains same but area changes.
Perimeter of rectangular sheet $= 2 \times (Length + Breadth)$

$= 2 \times 30 = 60\ cm$
$\therefore$ A \times Breadth
$= 200\ cm^2$

Now, perimeter of rectangular sheet after cutting the rectangular piece
$=$ Sum of all sides $= 20 + 8 + 5 + 2 + 15 +10 = 60\ cm$
Area = Area of rectangle ABFG + Area of rectangle BCDE
$= (Length \times Breadth) + (Length \times Breadth)$
$= (15 \times 10) + (5 \times 8)$
$= 150 + 40 = 190sq-cm$

The lateral surface area of a hollow cylinder is $5632\ cm^2.$ It is cut along its height and rectangular sheet of width $44\ cm$ is formed. Find the perimeter of the rectangular sheet?
- ✓
$344\ cm$
- B
$388\ cm$
- C
$320\ cm$
- D
$300\ cm$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $344\ cm$
Since the cylinder is cut along its height, the circumference of its base (or top)
= width of rectangular sheet i. e. ${2}\pi\text{r} = {44}\text{cm}$
Curved Surface Area of a Cylinder $ = {2}\pi\text{r}\text{h}$
$\text{ Given } {2}\pi\text{r}\text{h} = {5632}\text{h} = \frac{5632}{2\pi\text{h}} = \frac{5632}{44}\text{cm} = {128}\text{cm}$
The length of the sheet will be the height.
Required perimeter $= 2(l + b) = 2(128 + 44)cm = 344\ cm$
