Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 616 cm2

Given:

The dimensions of the rectangle are 24 cm and 16 cm.

The circumference of the circle = 110% of the perimeter of rectangle.

Formula Used:

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (length + breadth)

Circumference of the circle = 2πr

Area of the circle = πr2

Where r = radius of the circle

Calculation:

Circumference of the circle = 110% of Perimeter of the rectangle

⇒ 2πr = (110/100) × 2 × (24 + 16)

⇒ 2 × (22/7) × r = (11/10) × 2 × 40

⇒ r = (11 × 2 × 40 × 7)/(10 × 2 × 22)

⇒ r = 14

Area of the circle = πr2

⇒ (22/7) × 142

⇒ 22 × 2 × 14

⇒ 616

Area of the circle is 616 cm2.

The sides of a triangle are in the ratio 4 ∶ 3 ∶ 2. The perimeter of the triangle is 54 cm. The area (in cm2) of the triangle is1. 18√15 cm22. 12 cm23. 6 cm24. 27√15 cm2

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 27√15 cm2

Given:

The sides of a triangle are in the ratio 4 ∶ 3 ∶ 2.

Formula used:

Semi perimeter of a Δ = (a + b + c)/2

Area of Δ = √{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}

Where a, b, c are sides of the Δ.

s → semiperimeter

Calculations:

Let the ratio of sides be 2x, 3x, and 4x.

Then 4x + 3x + 2x = 54

⇒ 9x = 54

⇒ x = 6

So the sides of the Δ are 24 cm, 18 cm, and 12 cm.

Semi perimeter of the Δ = (a + b + c)/2 = (24 + 18 +12)/2 = 27 cm

Area of the Δ = √{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}

⇒ √{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)} = √{27(27 - 24)(27 - 18)(27- 12)}

⇒ √(27 × 3 × 9 × 15) = 27√15 cm2

∴ The area of the triangle is 27√15 cm2.

(take π = 3.14)Quantity II: Find the total surface area of the cuboid whose length, height, and breadth are in the ratio 5 ∶ 2 ∶ 3. Given the difference between the length and bredth is 5 cm. 1. Quantity I > Quantity II2. Quantity I < Quantity II3. Quantity I ≤ Quantity II4. Quantity I ≥ Quantity II5. Quantity I = Quantity II or relation cannot be established.

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Quantity I > Quantity II

Given: 

Quantity I:

Radius and height of the cone = 6 cm and 8 cm

The total surface area of sphere = 3 × curved surface area of the cone

Quantity II:

The ratio of length, height, and breadth of cuboid = 5 ∶ 2 ∶ 3

Difference between length and height = 5 cm

Concept used:

The volume of sphere = 4/3 × π × r3

The total surface area of sphere = 4πr2

The curved surface area of cone = π × r × l

Where l = √(r2 + h2)

Total surface area of the cuboid = 2 × (lb + bh + hl)

Where, l, b, and h are the length, breadth, and height.

Calculation:

Quantity I:

l = √(62 + 82) = 10 cm

curved surface area of cone = π × 6 × 10 = 60π

total surface area of sphere = 4πr2 = 3 × 60π

⇒ r2 = 45 cm2

Total surface area of the hemisphere = 3πr2 = 3π × 45

Total surface area of the hemisphere = 135 × 3.14

Quantity I = 135 × 3.14 = 423.9 cm2

Quantity II:

Ratio of length, height and breadth of cuboid = 5 ∶ 2 ∶ 3

Then, length, breadth and height of cuboid will be = 5x, 3x and 2x

Difference between length and breadth = 5x – 3x = 2x

⇒ 2x = 5

Or, x = 5/2 cm

Total surface area of the cuboid = 2 × (15x2 + 6x2 + 10x2) = 62 × (5/2)2

Quantity II = 62 × (5/2)2 = 387.5 cm2

None of the above

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : \(\frac{1}{V} = \frac{2}{S}\left( {\frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b} + \frac{1}{c}} \right)\)

Given

Dimensions of cuboid = a × b × c

Volume of cuboid = V

Surface area of cuboid = S

Formula used

For a cuboid with length, breadth and height x, y and z respectively, volume = xyz  and surface area = 2xy + 2xz + 2yz

Calculation

V = abc

S = 2(ab + bc + ca)

On dividing S by V we get,

\({S \over V} = {2(ab + bc + ca) \over abc}\)

\(\Rightarrow {S \over V} = 2( {ab \over abc}+ {bc \over abc} + {ca \over abc})\)

\(\Rightarrow {S \over V} = 2( {1 \over c}+ {1 \over a} + {1 \over b})\)

\(\Rightarrow {1 \over V} = {2\over S}( {1 \over a}+ {1 \over b} + {1 \over c})\)

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Acute angle triangle

Given:

The angle of the triangle are in the ratio = 4  5  6

Concept used:

The Sum of all the angles of the triangle is 180° 

An acute-angled triangle is a type of triangle in which all the three internal angles of the triangle are acute, i.e less than 90°

An obtuse-angled triangle is a triangle in which one of the interior angles measures more than 90° 

A right triangle or right-angled triangle is a triangle in which one angle is a right angle

An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two sides of equal length

Calculations:

The sum of angles of triangle = 180°

The sum of the angles = (4x + 5x + 6x) 

⇒ 15x 

15x = 180° 

⇒ x = 180°/15

⇒ x = 12

Hence angles in the triangle are 4x, 5x, 6x = 48, 60, and 72 

In a triangle, If all the three angles are less than 90° then, the triangle is known as Acute angle triangle

∴ The triangle is an Acute triangle.

Where r = radius, l = slant height, h = height of a cone

Calculation:

According to the question,

πrl = 3πr2

⇒ l = 3r

⇒ l/r = 3/1

\({\rm{h}} = {\rm{\;}}\sqrt {{{\rm{l}}^{2{\rm{\;}}}} - {\rm{\;}}{{\rm{r}}^2}} \)

\({\rm{h}} = {\rm{\;}}\sqrt {{{\rm{3}}^{2{\rm{\;}}}} - {\rm{\;}}{{\rm{1}}^2}} \)

\({\rm{h}} = {\rm{\;}}\sqrt {{{\rm{9}{\rm{\;}}}} - {\rm{\;}}{{\rm{1}}}} \)

⇒ h = √8

⇒ h = 2√2

⇒ 21 = 2√2

⇒ r = 21/2√2

\(\left( {\frac{1}{3}} \right) \times {\rm{\pi }} \times {{\rm{r}}^2} \times {\rm{h}}\) = \(\left( {\frac{1}{3}} \right) \times {\frac{22}{7}} \times ({{\frac{21}{2\sqrt 2}})^2} \times {\rm{21}}\) 

\(\left( {\frac{1}{3}} \right) \times {\frac{22}{7}} \times ({{\frac{441}{8}})} \times {\rm{21}}\)

⇒ 22 × 63/8 × 7

Given:

Area of square = 484 sq. cm

Square wire is converted into circle

Formula used:

Perimeter of circle = 2π r, where r = radius of circle

Area of circle = π r2

Perimeter of square = 4a, where a = side of the square

Concept used:

When square shape bent into circle, perimeter of square becomes equal to perimeter of circle

Area of square = a2

∴ a = √area = √484 = 22 cm

∴ perimeter of square = 4a = 4 × 22 = 88 cm

Now, perimeter of circle = perimeter of square = 88 cm

⇒ 2π r = 88

∴ r = 88 / 2π = 88 × 7 / 22 × 1 / 2 = 14 cm

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 3.84

Given:

Speed of water flowing through the pipe = 2.5 km/h = 2500 m/h

Radius of pipe = 3.5 cm = 0.035 m

Length of tank = 10 m

Breadth of tank = 8.8 m

Height upto which water to be raised in the tank = 42 cm = 0.42m

Formula used:

(i) Volume flow rate of water = A × V

where,

A = Cross section area of pipe

V = Speed of water

(ii) Volume of cuboid tank = l × b × h

where,

l = length of tank

b = breadth of tank

h = height of tank

(iii) Time taken to fill the tank = (Total volume to be filled inside the tank)/(Volume flow rate of water)

Calculation:

Volume flow rate of water through pipe = 2500 × π × 0.035 × 0.035

⇒ 9.62 m3/hr

Total volume of water to be filled inside the tank = 10 × 8.8 × 0.42

⇒ 36.96 m3

Time taken to fill the tank = 36.96/9.62

⇒ 3.84 hours
