Q:

The altitude drawn to the base of an isosceles triangle is 8cm and the perimeter is 32cm. Find the area of the triangle?

A) 50 B) 60
C) 70 D) 80
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 60

Explanation:

let ABC be the isosceles triangle, the AD be the altitude 

Let AB = AC = x then BC= 32-2x       [because parameter = 2 (side) + Base] 

since in an isoceles triange the altitude bisects the base so 

BD = DC = 16-x 

In a triangle ADC, AC2=AD2+DC2 

x2=82+16-x2 x=10 

BC = 32-2x = 32-20 = 12 cm 

Hence, required area = 12*BC*AD12*12*10 = 60 sq cm

Q:

In measuring the sides of a rectangle, one side is taken 5% in excess and the other 4% in deficit. Find the error percent in the area, calculate from the those measurements.

A) .7% B) 0.8%
C) 0.9% D) 0.3%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 0.8%

Explanation:

let x and y be the sides of the rectangle then 

correct area =105100x×96100y 

 

Error% = 504500xy-xy=4500xy %

 

4500xy×1xy×100=45=0.8

Q:

The length of a rectangle is twice its breadth if its length is decreased by 5cm and breadth is increased by 5cm, the area of the rectangle is increased by 75 sq cm. Find the length of the rectangle.

A) 30 B) 40
C) 50 D) 60
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 40

Explanation:

let length = 2x and breadth = x then
(2x-5) (x+5) = (2x * x)+75
5x-25 = 75 => x=20
length of the rectangle = 40 cm

Q:

A team of 8 students goes on an excursion, in two cars, of which one can seat 5 and the other only 4. In how many ways can they travel?

A) 126 B) 120
C) 146 D) 156
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 126

Explanation:

There are 8 students and the maximum capacity of the cars together is 9.


We may divide the 8 students as follows


Case I: 5 students in the first car and 3 in the second
Case II: 4 students in the first car and 4 in the second


Hence, in Case I: 8 students are divided into groups of 5 and 3 in8C3 ways.


Similarly, in Case II: 8 students are divided into two groups of 4 and 4 in 8C4ways.


Therefore, the total number of ways in which 8 students can travel is:
8C3+8C4=56 + 70= 126

Q:

In how many ways can the letters of the word EDUCATION be rearranged so that the relative position of the vowels and consonants remain the same as in the word EDUCATION?

A) 4! x 4! B) 5! x 5!
C) 4! x 5! D) 3! x 4!
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 4! x 5!

Explanation:

The word EDUCATION is a 9 letter word, with none of the letters repeating.

The vowels occupy 3rd,5th,7th and 8th position in the word and the remaining 5 positions are occupied by consonants

As the relative position of the vowels and consonants in any arrangement should remain the same as in the word EDUCATION, the vowels can occupy only the afore mentioned 4 places and the consonants can occupy1st,2nd,4th,6th and 9th positions.

The 4 vowels can be arranged in the 3rd,5th,7th and 8th position in 4! Ways.

Similarly, the 5 consonants can be arranged in1st,2nd,4th,6th and 9th position in5! Ways.

Hence, the total number of ways = 4! × 5!
