Q:

A dice is numbered from 1 to 6 in different ways.

If 1 is adjacent to 2, 3 and 5, then which of the following statements is necessarily true?

A) 4 is adjacent to 6 B) 2 is adjacent to 5
C) 1 is adjacent to 6 D) 1 is adjacent to 4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 4 is adjacent to 6

Explanation:

If 1 is adjacent to 2, 3 and 5, then either 4 or 6 lies opposite to 1. So, the numbers 4 and 6 cannot lie opposite to each other. Hence, 4 necessarily lies adjacent to 6.

Q:

A parallelogram has sides 30m and 14m and one of its diagonals is 40m long. Then its area is

A) 136 B) 236
C) 336 D) 436
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 336

Explanation:

let ABCD be the given parallelogram 

area of parallelogram ABCD = 2 x (area of triangle ABC) 

now a = 30m, b = 14m and c = 40m

 s=1/2 x (30+14+40) = 42 

 

Area of triangle ABC = ss-as-bs-c  

 

= 4212282= 168sq m 

area of parallelogram ABCD = 2 x 168 = 336 sq m

Q:

The length of a rectangle is halved, while its breadth is tripled. What is the percentage change in area?

A) 20% B) 30%
C) 40% D) 50%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 50%

Explanation:

Let original length = x and original breadth = y.

Original area = xy. 

New length = x/2 and New breadth=3y 

New area = 32xy 

Therefore,  Increase in area = New area-original area = 32xy-xy=12xy 

 

Therefore,  Increase % = increase in area original area*100=12xyxy*100=50 %
