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) 2% B) 2.02%
C) 4% D) .4.04%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) .4.04%

Explanation:

100 cm is read as 102 cm.

 A1 = (100 x 100)  and A2 =(102 x 102)   

(A2 - A1) = [(102 x 102)-(100 x 100) ]= 404    

Percentage error =[404/(100 x 100 )] x 100%= 4.04%

Q:

A) 42.2 mts B) 33.45 mts
C) 66.6 mts D) 58.78 mts
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 66.6 mts

Explanation:

ht1488353450.jpg image

From above diagram
AC represents the hill and DE represents the tower

Given that AC = 100 m

angleXAD = angleADB = 30° (∵ AX || BD )
angleXAE = angleAEC = 60° (∵ AX || CE)

Let DE = h

Then, BC = DE = h, AB = (100-h) (∵ AC=100 and BC = h), BD = CE

tan 60°=AC/CE => √3 = 100/CE =>CE = 100/√3 ----- (1)

tan 30° = AB/BD => 1/√3 = 100−h/BD => BD = 100−h(√3)
∵ BD = CE and Substitute the value of CE from equation 1
100/√3 = 100−h(√3) => h = 66.66 mts

The height of the tower = 66.66 mts.
