Q:

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

A) 10%	B) 20%
C) 30%	D) 40%

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 30%

Explanation:

let the side of the square be x meters
length of two sides = 2x meters
diagonal = $\sqrt{2 x}$ = 1.414x m

saving on 2x meters = .59x m

saving % = $\frac{0.59 x}{2 x} * 100$ %

= 30% (approx)

Q:

A rectangular lawn 55m by 35m has two roads each 4m wide running in the middle of it. One parallel to the length and the other parallel to breadth. The cost of graveling the roads at 75 paise per sq meter is

A) rs.58	B) rs.158
C) rs.258	D) rs.358

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) rs.258

Explanation:

area of cross roads = (55 x 4) + (35 x 4)- (4 x 4) = 344sq m

cost of graveling = 344 x (75/100) = Rs. 258

Q:

A took 15 seconds to cross a rectangular field diagonally walking at the rate of 52 m/min and B took the same time to cross the same field along its sides walking at the rate of 68m/min. The area of the field is?

A) 50	B) 60
C) 70	D) 80

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 60

Explanation:

length of the diagonal = 52 x (15/60) =13m

sum of length and breadth = 68 x (15/60) = 17m

$(\sqrt{l^{2} + b^{2}}) = 13 o r l + b = 17$

area =lb = 1/2[(2lb)] = 1/2[(l+b)² - (l²+b²)] = 1/2[17² -169]

=1/2 x 120 = 60 sq.m

Q:

Four circular cardboard pieces, each of radius 7cm are placed in such a way that each piece touches two other pieces. The area of the space encosed by the four pieces is

A) 12	B) 32
C) 42	D) 52

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 42

Explanation:

required area = [14 x 14 - (4 x 1/4 x 22/7 x 7 x 7) ]sq.cm

= 196 - 154 = 42 sq.cm.

Q:

Three circles of radius 3.5cm are placed in such a way that each circle touches the other two. The area of the portion enclosed by the circles is

A) 1.967	B) 1.867
C) 1.767	D) 1.567

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1.967

Explanation:

required area = (area of an equilateral triangle of side 7 cm)- (3 * area of sector with Ã = 60 degrees and r = 3.5cm)
$(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} * 7 * 7) - (3 * \frac{22}{7} * 3.5 * 3.5 * \frac{60}{360})$ sq cm

= $(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} * 49) - (11 * 0.5 * 3.5)$ sq cm

= 1.967 sq cm

Q:

A circular swimming pool is surrounded by a concrete wall 4ft wide. If the area of the concrete wall surrounding the pool is 11/25 that of the pool, then the radius of the pool is?

A) 10ft	B) 20ft
C) 30ft	D) 40ft

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 20ft

Explanation:

let the radius of the pool be Rft

Radius of the pool including the wall = (R+4)ft

Area of the concrete wall = $π [{(R + 4)}^{2} - R^{2}]$ = $π [(R + 4 + R) (R + 4 - R)] = 8 π (R + 2)$ sq feet

=> 8 $π (R + 2) = \frac{11}{25} {πR}^{2} = > 11 R^{2} = 200 (R + 2)$

Radius of the pool R = 20ft

Q:

Wheels of diameters 7cm and 14cm start rolling simultaneously from x & y which are 1980 cm apart towards each other in opposite directions. Both of them make the same number of revolutions per second. If both of them meet after 10seconds.The speed of the smaller wheel is

A) 22m/s	B) 33m/s
C) 44m/s	D) 55m/s

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 22m/s

Explanation:

let each wheel make x revolutions per sec. Then $[(2 π * \frac{7}{2} * x) + (2 π * 7 * x)] * 10 = 1980$ $(2 * \frac{22}{7} * \frac{7}{2} * x) + (2 * \frac{22}{7} * \frac{7}{2} * x) = 198$

$66 x = 198$

distance moved by smaller wheel in 3 revolutions

= $2 * \frac{22}{7} * \frac{7}{2} * 3 = 66 c m$

speed of smaller wheel = $\frac{66}{3}$ m/s = 22m/s

Q:

A wire can be bent in the form of a circle of radius 56cm. If it is bent in the form of a square, then its area will be

A) 7744	B) 8844
C) 5544	D) 4444

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 7744

Explanation:

length of wire = $2 πr$ = 2 x (22/7 ) x 56 = 352 cm
side of the square = 352/4 = 88cm
area of the square = 88 x 88 = 7744sq cm
