  1. The diagonals of a squares is 4√2 cm. The diagonal of another square whose area is double that of the first square is

    Diagonal of square = √2a [a = side]
    4√2 = √2 a
    a = 4 cm
    Now, area of square = a2 = (42) = 16
    Side of a square whose area is 2 x 16.
    a12 = 32
    ⇒ a1 = √32 ⇒a14√2

    Correct Option: A

    Diagonal of square = √2a [a = side]
    4√2 = √2 a
    a = 4 cm
    Now, area of square = a2 = (42) = 16
    Side of a square whose area is 2 x 16.
    a12 = 32
    ⇒ a1 = √32 ⇒a14√2

    Now, diagonal of new square = √2a
    = √2x 4 √2
    = 8 cm


  1. The diagonals of two squares are in the ratio of 3 : 2. Find the ratio of their areas.

    Let the diagonals of the squares be 3x and 2x.
    ∴ Ratio of their areas = [(1/2) (3x2)] / [(1/2) (2x2)]

    Correct Option: A

    Let the diagonals of the squares be 3x and 2x.
    ∴ Ratio of their areas = [(1/2) (3x2)] / [(1/2) (2x2)] = 9/4



  1. If the sides of a squares is increased by 25%, then the area of the squares will be increased by

    Required increment = 2a + [a2 / 100] %

    Correct Option: C

    Required increment = 2a + [a2 / 100] %
    = 2 x 25 + [(252)/100)] %
    = 50 + (625/100)%
    = 56.25%


  1. The perimeter of two square is 12 cm and 24 cm. The area of the bigger square is how many times that of the smaller?

    Ratio of area of 2 squares = (ratio of perimeter of 2 squares)2

    Correct Option: C

    Ratio of area of 2 squares = (ratio of perimeter of 2 squares)2
    = (24/12)2
    = 4



  1. A cost of cultivating a square field at a rate of ₹ 135 per hectare is ₹ 1215. The cost of putting a fence around it at the rate of 75 paise per meter wouldbe

    Area of the field =1215/135 = 9 hec
    = 90000 m2 [1 hec =10000 m2]
    ∴ Side of the field = √90000 = 300 m

    Correct Option: C

    Area of the field =1215/135 = 9 hec
    = 90000 m2 [1 hec =10000 m2]
    ∴ Side of the field = √90000 = 300 m
    Perimeter of the field = 4 x 300 = 1200 m

    Now, cost of putting a fence around field = (1200 x 75)/100 = ₹ 900
