The area of a trapezium is 336 sq cm. If its parallel sides are in the ratio 5 : 7 and the perpendicular distance between them be 14 cm, then the smaller of the parallel sides is:
A
20 cm
B
22 cm
C
24 cm
D
26 cm
View Answer
Correct Answer:
A
20 cm
Description:
We know that Area of trapezium = 21(sum of 11 side)× distance between them
⇒336=21(5x+7x)×14
⇒x=4
Smaller side = 20

D
2571
View Answer
Correct Answer:
A
2541
Description:
No. of Spherical bullets =volume of each bulletvolume of a cube
=34×722×2×2×244×44×44
= 2541
Q33 :
The area of a rectangular field with sides in 2 : 1 ratio is 162 m2. There is a proposal to make a 1 m wide walking track all along the perimeter of the field. How much would be the reduction in the area?
A
25 m2
B
50 m2
C
75 m2
D
100 m2
View Answer
Correct Answer:
B
50 m2
Description:
Let the sides of rectangular field be 2x and x metre. Then
Area =2x×x
162=2x×x
2x2=162
x2=2162=81
x=9 m
Thus the sides of rectangular field are of 18 m and 9 m. By making a pavement of 1 m wide, the remaining size of length and breadth will now be 16 m and 7 m.
∴ Interior area of field =16×7=112 m2
Reduction in area =162−112=50 m2
Q34 :
If a square of area 2A is cut off from a given square of area A, then the ratio of diagonal of the cut off square to that of the given square is
A
1:5
B
1:5
C
1:2
D
1:25
View Answer
Correct Answer:
C
1:2
Description:
Area of a bigger square =a2
∴Diagonal =2a=d1
Area of a smaller square =2a2=x2
x = side of smaller square ... x=2a
Diagonal of a smaller square=d2=2x
d2=2⋅2a=a
∴ Required Ratio =d2:d1=a:2a=1:2
Q35 :
If the diagonal AC, of a rectangle ABCD is of length 2d and it divides angle BAD in the ratio 1:2, then the area of the rectangle is equal to
A
2⋅d2
B
4d2
C
22⋅d2
D
3⋅d2
View Answer
Correct Answer:
D
3⋅d2
Description:
AC=2d,x+2x=90°⇒x=30°ACAB=cos 30°
∴AB =23×2d=3d
ACBC=sin30°
∴BC =AC ×21=2d×21=d
Area of a rectangle =AB ×BC=3d⋅d=3d2
Q36 :
If the sides of a triangle are 15 cm, 16 cm and 17 cm, then the area of the triangle is equal to
A
1621 sq cm
B
1821 sq cm
C
2421 sq cm
D
3021 sq cm
View Answer
Correct Answer:
C
2421 sq cm
Description:
S =215+16+17=24
Area of a △=s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)
=24(24−15)(24−16)(24−17)=2421 sq. cm
Q37 :
The radius of a wheel is 84 cm. If the wheel makes five revolutions in 5 seconds, then the speed of the wheel, approximately, is
A
19 km/h
B
33 km/h
C
35 km/h
D
38 km/h
View Answer
Correct Answer:
A
19 km/h
Description:
5 revolution in 5 sec ∴ One revolution in 1 sec
Distance covered in 1 revolution
=2πr=2×722×84=2×22×12 cm
Speed =TD=1 sec2×22×12 cm
=1002×22×12×518km/hr=19 km/hr app
