    In ∆COD and ∆AOB,
    ∠OAB = ∠OCD
    ∠OBA = ∠ODC
    By AA–similarity, ∆AOB ~ ∆COD

    Area of ∆AOB
    =
    4
    Area of ∆CD1

    = 4 : 1

    Correct Option: A

  1. The perimeter of two squares are 24 cm and 32 cm. The perimeter (in cm) of a third square equal in area to the sum of the areas of these squares is :

    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 cm

    Correct Option: B

    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 cm


  1. If the ratio of areas of two squares is 225 : 256, then the ratio of their perimeter is :

    Ratio of area =
    225
    225

    ⇒ Ratio of side = √
    225
    =
    15
    22516

    ∴ Ratio of perimeter =
    4 × 15
    =
    15
    ⇒ 15 : 16
    4 × 1616

    Correct Option: C

    Ratio of area =
    225
    225

    ⇒ Ratio of side = √
    225
    =
    15
    22516

    ∴ Ratio of perimeter =
    4 × 15
    =
    15
    ⇒ 15 : 16
    4 × 1616



  1. 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

    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 cm

    Correct Option: B

    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 cm
