    Let original radius be r.
    Then, according to the questions,
    π (r + 1)2 - πr2 = 22

    Correct Option: C

    Let 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


  1. The radius of a circle is so increased that its circumference increased by 5%. The area of the circle, then increases by

    Increase in circumference of circle = 5%
    ∴ Increase in radius is also 5%.
    Now, increase in area of circle = 2a + (a2/100) %

    Correct Option: B

    Increase 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%



  1. The breadth of a rectangle is 25 m. The total cost of putting a grass bed on this field was ₹ 12375, at the rate of ₹ 15 per sq m. What is the length of the rectangular field?

    Area to the rectangular field = 12375/15 = 825 sq m
    According to the question,
    (L x B) = 825 [L = length and B = breadth]

    Correct Option: C

    Area to the rectangular field = 12375/15 = 825 sq m
    According to the question,
    (L x B) = 825 [L = length and B = breadth]
    ⇒ L x 25 = 825
    ∴ L = 825/25 = 33 m


  1. A rectangle has 20 cm as its length and 200 sq cm as its area. If the area is increased by 11/5 time the original area by increase its length only then the perimeter of the rectangle so formed (in cm) is

    l1 = 20 cm, A1 = 200 sq cm
    ∴ b1 = 200/20 = 10 cm
    Now, A2 = 200 x 6/5 = 240 sq cm
    b2 = 10 cm
    ∴ l2 = 240/10 = 24 cm

    ∴ Perimeter of new rectangle = 2(l2 + b2)

    Correct Option: D

    l1 = 20 cm, A1 = 200 sq cm
    ∴ b1 = 200/20 = 10 cm
    Now, A2 = 200 x 6/5 = 240 sq cm
    b2 = 10 cm
    ∴ l2 = 240/10 = 24 cm

    ∴ Perimeter of new rectangle = 2(l2 + b2)
    = 2(24 + 10) = 2 x 34 = 68 cm



  1. Find the cost of carpeting a room 8 m long and 6 m broad with a carpet 75 cm wide at ₹ 20 per m.

    Area of the carpet = Area of the room

    Correct Option: D

    Area of the carpet = Area of the room
    = 8 x 6 = 48 sq m

    Width of the carpet = 75/100 = 3/4 m

    Length of the carpet = 48 x (4/3)
    = 16 x 4 = 64 m

    ∴ Cost of carpeting = 64 x 20 = ₹ 1280
