Area and Perimeter
-  A person observed that he required 30 s time to cross a circular ground along its diameter than to cover it once along the boundary. If his speed was 30m/min, than the radius of the circular ground is (take π = 22/7)
 
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Let the radius of circular field = r m. 
 Speed of person in m/s = 30/60 = 1/2m/s
 According to the question,
 [(2πr) /(1/2)] - [(2r)/(1/2)] = 30Correct Option: BLet the radius of circular field = r m. 
 Speed of person in m/s = 30/60 = 1/2m/s
 According to the question,
 [(2πr) /(1/2)] - [(2r)/(1/2)] = 30
 ⇒ 4πr - 4r = 30
 ⇒ [4 x (22/7) - 4]r =30
 ⇒ (125 - 4)r = 30
 ⇒ (8.5)r = 30
 ⇒ r = 30/8.5 = 3.5 m
-  A man riding a bicycle, completes one lap of a circular field along its circumference at the speed of 14.4 km/h in 1 min 28 s. What is the area of the field?
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum The man takes 3600 s for 14.4 km 
 The man will take 88 s for
 14.4 x (88/3600) = 352/1000 km = 352 m
 Now, circumference of circular field = 352 m
 ⇒ 2πr = 352 m
 2 x (22/7) x r = 352
 ⇒ r = 56 m
 Therefore, area of the field = πr2Correct Option: BThe man takes 3600 s for 14.4 km 
 The man will take 88 s for
 14.4 x (88/3600) = 352/1000 km = 352 m
 Now, circumference of circular field = 352 m
 ⇒ 2πr = 352 m
 2 x (22/7) x r = 352
 ⇒ r = 56 m
 Therefore, area of the field = πr2
 = (22/7) x 56 x 56
 = 8 x 22 x 56 m2
 = 9856 sq m.
-  The Different between the length and breadth of a rectangle is 23 m. If its perimeter is 206 m, then its area is
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Let the length of rectangle = L m 
 ∴ Breadth of rectangle = B m
 Using conditions from the question,
 L - B = 23 ....(i)
 2(L + B) = 206
 L + B = 103 ....(ii)
 Then , area of rectangle = L x BCorrect Option: ALet the length of rectangle = L m 
 ∴ Breadth of rectangle = B m
 Using conditions from the question,
 L - B = 23 ....(i)
 2(L + B) = 206
 L + B = 103 ....(ii)
 On adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
 2L = 126
 ⇒ L = 63 m
 ⇒ B = 103 - 63 = 40 m
 Then , area of rectangle = L x B
 = 63 x 40
 = 2520 m2 .
-  The area of a circle is increased by 22 sq cm when its radius is increased by 1 cm. Find the original radius of the circle.
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Let original radius be r. 
 Then, according to the questions,
 π (r + 1)2 - πr2 = 22Correct Option: CLet original radius be r. 
 Then, according to the questions,
 π (r + 1)2 - πr2 = 22
 ⇒ π x [(r + 1)2 - r2] = 22
 ⇒ (22/7) x (r + 1 + r ) x (r + 1 - r) = 22
 ⇒ 2r + 1 = 7
 ⇒ 2r = 6
 ∴ r = 6/2 = 3 cm
-  The radius of a circle is so increased that its circumference increased by 5%. The area of the circle, then increases by
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Increase in circumference of circle = 5% 
 ∴ Increase in radius is also 5%.
 Now, increase in area of circle = 2a + (a2/100) %Correct Option: BIncrease in circumference of circle = 5% 
 ∴ Increase in radius is also 5%.
 Now, increase in area of circle = 2a + (a2/100) %
 Where, a = increase in radius= 2 x 5 + (5 x 5)/100 % = 10.25%
