Area and Perimeter
-  The area of sector of a circle of radius 5 cm, formed by an arc of length 3.5 cm is ?
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Area of sector = ( arc length x radius ) / 2 cm2 Correct Option: CArea of sector = ( arc length x radius ) / 2 cm2 
 = (3.5 x 5 ) / 2
 = 8.75 cm2
-  A rectangular carpet has an area of 120 sq. m and a perimeter of 46 m . The length of its diagonal is ?
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Let length = a metres and breadth = b metres 
 then, 2(a+b)= 46
 ⇒ (a+b) =23 and ab =120
 ∴diogonal = √a2+b2=√(a+b)2-2ab
 √232-2 *120
 =√ 289 = 17mCorrect Option: CLet length = a metres and breadth = b metres 
 Then, 2(a+b)= 46
 ⇒ (a+b) =23 and ab =120
 ∴ Diagonal = √a2 + b2
 √(23)2-2 x 120
 √289 = 17 m
-  Radhika runs along the boundary of a rectangular park at the rate of 12 km/hr and completes one full round in 15 minutes. If the length of the park is 4 times its breadth , the area of the park is ?

                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Speed = 12 x (5/18) m/sec 
 =10/3 m/sec
 there4; perimeter = (10/3) x 15 x 60 m=3000 m
 ∵ 2( a + 4a) = 3000 m
 ⇒ a = 300 m
 So, length = 1200 m and breadth = 300 mCorrect Option: ASpeed = 12 x (5/18) m/sec 
 =10/3 m/sec
 there4; perimeter = (10/3) x 15 x 60 m=3000 m
 ∵ 2( a + 4a) = 3000 m
 ⇒ a = 300 m
 So, length = 1200 m and breadth = 300 m
 ∴ Area = (1200 x 300 ) m2 = 360000m2
-  If D,E and F are respectively the midpoint of the sides BC , CA and AB of a Δ ABC and the area of Δ ABC = 36m 2. Then area of Δ DEF is ?

                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Area of a triangle formed by joining the mid point of the sides of the triangle is 1/4th of area of the original triangle . Correct Option: BArea of a triangle formed by joining the mid point of the sides of the triangle is 1/4th of area of the original triangle . 
 So area of Δ DEF = 36/ 4 = 9 m2
-  A rectangular carpet has an area of 60 sq. m. Its diagonal and longer side together equal 5 times the shorter side, The length of the carpet is ?
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Let the longer side = l, shorter side = b and diagonal = d 
 Then, area of rectangular carpet = l x b = 60 ....(1)
 And from question d + l = 5b
 ⇒ d = 5b - l ...(2)
 ⇒ d2 = 25b2 + l2 - 10 x lb
 ⇒ l2+ b2 = 25b2 + l2 - 10 x lb
 ⇒ l2+b2 = 25b2 + l2 - 10 x 60
 ⇒ 24b2 = 600
 ∴ b = √25 = 5 m
 √ l = 60 / b = 60 / 5 = 12 mCorrect Option: BLet the longer side = l, shorter side = b and diagonal = d 
 Then, area of rectangular carpet = l x b = 60 ....(1)
 And from question d + l = 5b
 ⇒ d = 5b - l ...(2)
 ⇒ d2 = 25b2 + l2 - 10 x lb
 ⇒ l2+ b2 = 25b2 + l2 - 10 x lb
 ⇒ l2+b2 = 25b2 + l2 - 10 x 60
 ⇒ 24b2 = 600
 ∴ b = √25 = 5 m
 √ l = 60 / b = 60 / 5 = 12 m
