 Required area = Area of ex-circle – area of square= π - 1 2 
 Correct Option: B Distance between centres = diagonal of square = √2cm. Distance between centres = diagonal of square = √2cm.∴ Ex radii = 1 cm. √2 
 Required area = Area of ex-circle – area of square= π - 1 2

 ∠OAB = ∠OCD
 ∠OBA = ∠ODC
 By AA–similarity, ∆AOB ~ ∆COD∴ Area of ∆AOB = 4 Area of ∆CD 1 
 = 4 : 1Correct Option: A In ∆COD and ∆AOB, In ∆COD and ∆AOB,
 ∠OAB = ∠OCD
 ∠OBA = ∠ODC
 By AA–similarity, ∆AOB ~ ∆COD∴ Area of ∆AOB = 4 Area of ∆CD 1

                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Side of square, whose perimeter is 24 cm = 24/4 = 6 cm 
 So, Area of the square = 62 = 36 cm²
 Again, side of square, whose perimeter is 32cm
 = 32/4 = 8 cm
 So, Area of this square = 82 = 64 cm²
 According to the question Area of new square = 64 + 36 = 100cm²
 ∴ Side of the new square = 100 = 10 cm
 Hence, Perimeter of new square = 10 × 4 = 40 cmCorrect Option: BSide of square, whose perimeter is 24 cm = 24/4 = 6 cm 
 So, Area of the square = 62 = 36 cm²
 Again, side of square, whose perimeter is 32cm
 = 32/4 = 8 cm
 So, Area of this square = 82 = 64 cm²
 According to the question Area of new square = 64 + 36 = 100cm²
 ∴ Side of the new square = 100 = 10 cm
 Hence, Perimeter of new square = 10 × 4 = 40 cm
-  If the ratio of areas of two squares is 225 : 256, then the ratio of their perimeter is :
 
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Ratio of area = 225 225 ⇒ Ratio of side = √ 225 = 15 225 16 ∴ Ratio of perimeter = 4 × 15 = 15 ⇒ 15 : 16 4 × 16 16 Correct Option: CRatio of area = 225 225 ⇒ Ratio of side = √ 225 = 15 225 16 ∴ Ratio of perimeter = 4 × 15 = 15 ⇒ 15 : 16 4 × 16 16 
-  The perimeter of two squares are 40 cm and 24 cm. The perimeter of a third square , whose area is equal to the difference of the area of these squares, is
 
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Side of the first square = 40 = 10 cm 4 Side of the second square = 24 = 6 cm 4 
 Difference of the area of these squares = (10 × 10 – 6 × 6) cm²
 = (100 – 36) cm² = 64 cm²
 ∴ Area of the third square = 64 cm²
 ⇒ Side of third square = √64 = 8 cm
 ∴ Perimeter of this square = (4 × 8) cm = 32 cmCorrect Option: BSide of the first square = 40 = 10 cm 4 Side of the second square = 24 = 6 cm 4 
 Difference of the area of these squares = (10 × 10 – 6 × 6) cm²
 = (100 – 36) cm² = 64 cm²
 ∴ Area of the third square = 64 cm²
 ⇒ Side of third square = √64 = 8 cm
 ∴ Perimeter of this square = (4 × 8) cm = 32 cm
