We know that, the radius of a circle inscribed in a equilateral triangle = a/[2√3]
Where, a be the length of the side of an equilateral triangle.
Given that, area of a circle inscribed in an equilateral tringle = 154 cm2
∴ π(a/2√3)2 = 154Correct Option: B
We know that, the radius of a circle inscribed in a equilateral triangle = a/[2√3]
Where, a be the length of the side of an equilateral triangle.
Given that, area of a circle inscribed in an equilateral tringle = 154 cm2
∴ π(a/2√3)2 = 154
⇒ (a/2√3)2 = 154 x (7/22) = (7)a2
⇒ a = 42√3 cm
Perimeter of an equilateral triangle = 3a
= 3(14√3)
= 42√3 cm
- The length of a rectangle is twice its breadth. If its length is decreased half of the 10 cm and the breadth is increased by half of the 10 cm cm, the area of the rectangle is increased by 5 sq cm, more than 70 sq cm. Find the length of the rectangle.

Given that, l = 2b [Here l = length and b = breadth]
Decrease in length = Half of the 10 cm = 10/2 = 5 cm
Increase in breadth = Half of the 10 cm = 10/2 = 5 cm
Increase in the area = (70 + 5) = 75 sq cm
According to the question,
(l - 5) (b + 5) = lb + 75Correct Option: B
Given that, l = 2b [Here l = length and b = breadth]
Decrease in length = Half of the 10 cm = 10/2 = 5 cm
Increase in breadth = Half of the 10 cm = 10/2 = 5 cm
Increase in the area = (70 + 5) = 75 sq cm
According to the question,
(l - 5) (b + 5) = lb + 75
⇒ (2b - 5) (b + 5) = 2b2 + 75 [since l = 2b]
⇒ 5b - 25 = 75
⇒ 5b = 100
∴ b = 100/ 5 = 20
∴ l = 2b = 2 x 20 = 40 cm

Area of square = (Side)2 = 202
= 400 sq cm
∴ Area of rectangle
= 1.8 x 400 = 720 sq cm
Let length and breadth of rectangle be 5k and k respectively.
Then, according to the question,
5k x k = 720Correct Option: B
Area of square = (Side)2 = 202
= 400 sq cm
∴ Area of rectangle
= 1.8 x 400 = 720 sq cm
Let length and breadth of rectangle be 5k and k respectively.
Then, according to the question,
5k x k = 720
⇒ 5k2 = 720
⇒ k2 = 720/5 = 144
∴ k = √144 = 12 cm
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(5k + k) = 12k
= 12 x12 = 144 cm
- How many circular plates of diameter d be taken out of a square plate of side 2d with minimum loss of material ?

Area of square plate = (Side)2
= (2d)2
= 4d2
Area of circular plate = π (d/2)2
= πd2/4
∵ Number of square plates
= [(4d2)/4] / [(πd2)/4]Correct Option: C
Area of square plate = (Side)2
= (2d)2
= 4d2
Area of circular plate = π (d/2)2
= πd2/4
∵ Number of square plates
= [(4d2)/4] / [(πd2)/4]
= (4 x 4)/π
≈ 5
Since, nearest integer value is 5.
- One diagonal of a rhombus is 60% of the other diagonal. Then, area of the rhombus is how many times the square of the length of the larger diagonal?

Let one diagonal be k.
Then, other diagonal = (60k/100) = 3k/5 cm
Area of rhombus =(1/2) x k x (3k/5) = (3/10)Correct Option: D
Let one diagonal be k.
Then, other diagonal = (60k/100) = 3k/5 cm
Area of rhombus =(1/2) x k x (3k/5) = (3/10)
= 3/10 (square of longer diagonal)
Hence, area of rhombus is 3/10 times.
