  1. If the diameters of a circle is increased by 100% . Its area is increased by ?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Original area = π(d/2)2
    = (πd2) / 4

    New area = π(2d/2)2
    = πd2

    Increase in area = (πd2 - πd2/4)
    = 3πd2/4

    Correct Option: C

    Original area = π(d/2)2
    = (πd2) / 4

    New area = π(2d/2)2
    = πd2

    Increase in area = (πd2 - πd2/4)
    = 3πd2/4

    ∴ Required increase percent
    = [(3πd2)/4 x 4/(πd2) x 100]%
    = 300%

    Let the diagonal of one square be (2d) cm
    Then, diagonal of another square = d cm

    ∴ Area of first square = [ 1/2 x (2d)2] cm2
    Area of second square = (1/2 x d2) cm2

    Correct Option: D

    Let the diagonal of one square be (2d) cm
    Then, diagonal of another square = d cm

    ∴ Area of first square = [ 1/2 x (2d)2] cm2
    Area of second square = (1/2 x d2) cm2

    ∴ Ratio of area = (2d)2/ d2
    = 4/1 = 4: 1



  1. A park of 10 meters long and 8 meters broad. What is the length of the longest pole that can be placed in the park ?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Length of the longest pole = √ [(10)2 + (8)2] m

    Correct Option: B

    Length of the longest pole = √ [(10)2 + (8)2] m
    = √ 164 m
    = 12.8 m


  1. The length of a rectangle is twice its breadth. If its length is decreased by 5 cm and the breadth is increased by 5 cm, the area of the rectangle is increased by 75 cm2 . Therefore , the length of the rectangle is ?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Let breadth = b, length = 2b
    ∴ Area of rectangle = 2b x b
    = 2b2

    As per question.
    ∵ (2b - 5 ) (b + 5 ) = 2b2 + 75
    ⇒ 5b = 75 + 25
    ⇒ 5b = 100
    ∴ b = 100 / 5 = 20

    Correct Option: C

    Let breadth = b, length = 2b
    ∴ Area of rectangle = 2b x b
    = 2b2

    As per question.
    ∵ (2b - 5 ) (b + 5 ) = 2b2 + 75
    ⇒ 5b = 75 + 25
    ⇒ 5b = 100
    ∴ b = 100 / 5 = 20

    Hence, length of the rectangle =2b
    = 2 x 20
    = 40 cm.



  1. If the length of diagonal AC of a square ABCD is 5.2 cm then area of the square ABCD is ?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Area = 1/2 x (Diagonal)2

    Correct Option: B

    Area = 1/2 x (Diagonal)2
    = (1/2) x 5.2 x 5.2 cm2
    = 13.52 cm2
