Q:

A rectangular parking space is marked out by painting three of its sides.If the length of the unpainted side is 9 feet, and the sum of the lengths of the painted sides is 37 feet, then what is the area of the parking space in square feet?

A) 126sq.ft	B) 120sq.ft
C) 130sq.ft	D) 135sq.ft

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 126sq.ft

Explanation:

Let l = 9 ft.

Then l + 2b = 37

=> 2b = 37 – l = 37 – 9 = 28

b = 28/2 = 14 ft.

Area = lb = 9 × 14 = 126 sq. ft.

Q:

The length of a rectangular plot is 20 metres more than its breadth. If the cost of fencing the plot @ Rs. 26.50 per metre is Rs. 5300, what is the length of the plot in metres?

A) 20	B) 200
C) 300	D) 400

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 200

Explanation:

Let length of plot = L meters, then breadth = L - 20 meters

and perimeter = 2[L + L - 20] = [4L - 40] meters

[4L - 40] * 26.50 = 5300

[4L - 40] = 5300 / 26.50 = 200

4L = 240

L = 240/4= 60 meters.

Q:

The breadth of a rectangular field is 60% of its length. If the perimeter of the field is 800 m.What is the area of the field?

A) 47500	B) 37500
C) 57500	D) 77500

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 37500

Explanation:

Let length = x meters, then breadth = 0.6x

Given that perimeter = 800 meters

=> 2[ x + 0.6x] = 800

=> x = 250 m

Length = 250m and breadth = 0.6 x 250 = 150m

Area = 250 x 150 = 37500 sq.m

Q:

The length of a rectangular hall is 5m more than its breadth. The area of the hall is 750 sq.m. The length of the hall is

A) 20	B) 25
C) 30	D) 35

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 30

Explanation:

Let breadth = x m

Then, length = (x+5)m

Area of a rectangle = Length x Breadth

x(x+5) = 750

x² + 5x - 750= 0

(x+30)(x-25)= 0

x = 25 or x = -30

Hence, breadth x = 25m

=> Length = x + 5 = 25 + 5 = 30m.

Q:

The area of a rectangle is 460 square metres. If the length is 15% more than the breadth, what is the breadth of the rectangular field?

A) 20 m	B) 30 m
C) 40 m	D) 50 m

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 20 m

Explanation:

Let breadth=x meters. Then, Length = $\frac{115 x}{100}$ meters

Given that, $x \times \frac{115 x}{100} = 460$

=> x = 20

Breadth = 20

Q:

Tarun got 30% concession on the labelled price of an article and sold it for Rs. 8750 with 25% profit on the price he bought. What was the labelled price ?

A) 10000	B) 12000
C) 13000	D) 14000

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 10000

Explanation:

Cost Price = $R s . [\frac{100}{125} \times 8750]$ = Rs. 7000. Let the labelled price be Rs. x.

Then, $\frac{70}{100} * x = 7000$ $\Rightarrow x = R s . (\frac{7000 * 100}{70})$

= Rs.10000
