Area and Perimeter
-  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%
-  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?
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum 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: CArea 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
-  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
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum 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: Dl1 = 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
-  Find the cost of carpeting a room 8 m long and 6 m broad with a carpet 75 cm wide at ₹ 20 per m.
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Area of the carpet = Area of the room Correct Option: DArea 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
