                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Required increment = 2a + [a2 / 100] % Correct Option: CRequired increment = 2a + [a2 / 100] % 
 = 2 x 25 + [(252)/100)] %
 = 50 + (625/100)%
 = 56.25%
-  The diagonals of two squares are in the ratio of 3 : 2. Find the ratio of their areas.
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Let the diagonals of the squares be 3x and 2x. 
 ∴ Ratio of their areas = [(1/2) (3x2)] / [(1/2) (2x2)]Correct Option: ALet the diagonals of the squares be 3x and 2x. 
 ∴ Ratio of their areas = [(1/2) (3x2)] / [(1/2) (2x2)] = 9/4
-  The diagonals of a squares is 4√2 cm. The diagonal of another square whose area is double that of the first square is
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum 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√2Correct Option: ADiagonal 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
-  The area of an equilateral triangle is √243 /4 sq cm. Find the length of its side.
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum According to the question, 
 area = √3a2/4Correct Option: AAccording to the question, 
 area = √3a2/4
 = √243 /4
 ⇒ a2 = √81 x 3/√3
 ∴ a = √9
 = 3 cm
-  A parallelogram has sides 60 m and 40 m and one of the diagonal is 80 m long. Then its area is ?
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum AB = 60 m, BC = 40 m and AC = 80 m 
 ∴ s = (60 + 40 + 80 ) / 2 m = 90 m
 (s-a) = 90 - 60 = 30 m,
 (s-b) = 90 - 40 = 50 m and
 (s-c) = 90 - 80 = 10 m
 ∴ Area of Δ ABC =
 √s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)
 = √90 x 30 x 50 x 10 m2
 = 300√15 m2Correct Option: CAB = 60 m, BC = 40 m and AC = 80 m 
 ∴ s = (60 + 40 + 80 ) / 2 m = 90 m
 (s-a) = 90 - 60 = 30 m,
 (s-b) = 90 - 40 = 50 m and
 (s-c) = 90 - 80 = 10 m
 ∴ Area of Δ ABC =
 √s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)
 = √90 x 30 x 50 x 10 m2
 = 300√15 m2
 ∴ Area of parallelogram ABCD = 2 x area of Δ ABC
 = 600√15 m2
