Q:

A man walked diagonally across a square lot. Approximately, what was the percent saved by not walking along the edges?

A) 30	B) 40
C) 50	D) 60

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 30

Explanation:

Let the side of the square(ABCD) be x meters.

Then, AB + BC = 2x metres.

AC = $\sqrt{2 x}$ = (1.41x) m.

Saving on 2x metres = (0.59x) m.

Saving % = $\frac{0.59 x}{2 x} * 100$ = 30% (approx)

Q:

A rectangular park 60 m long and 40 m wide has two concrete crossroads running in the middle of the park and rest of the park has been used as a lawn. If the area of the lawn is 2109 sq. m, then what is the width of the road?

A) 1	B) 2
C) 3	D) 4

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 3

Explanation:

Area of the park = (60 x 40) = 2400 $m^{2}$

Area of the lawn = 2109 $m^{2}$

Area of the crossroads = (2400 - 2109) = 291 $m^{2}$

Let the width of the road be x metres. Then,

$60 x + 40 x - X^{2} = 291$

$x^{2} - 100 x + 291 = 0$

(x - 97)(x - 3) = 0
x = 3.

Q:

An error 2% in excess is made while measuring the side of a square. The percentage of error in the calculated area of the square is:

A) 1.04	B) 2.04
C) 3.04	D) 4.04

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 4.04

Explanation:

100 cm is read as 102 cm.

A1 = (100*100)Sq.cm

A2 = (102*102)Sq.cm

(A2 - A1) = $102^{2} - 100^{2}$ = (102 + 100) x (102 - 100) = 404 sq.cm.

Q:

The ratio between the length and the breadth of a rectangular park is 3 : 2. If a man cycling along the boundary of the park at the speed of 12 km/hr completes one round in 8 minutes, then the area of the park (in sq. m) is:

A) 153600	B) 143600
C) 13600	D) 16300

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 153600

Explanation:

Let length = 3x metres and breadth = 2x metres.

Then, 2(3x + 2x) = 1600 or x = 160.

Length = 480 m and Breadth = 320 m.Area = (480 x 320) sq.m = 153600 sq.m
