Q:

In a rectangle, length is three times its breadth. If the length and the breadth of the rectangle are increased by 30% and 100% respectively, then its perimeter increases by

A) 40/3% B) 20%
C) 25% D) 27%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 25%

Explanation:
Let the breadth of the rectangle = x
Length of the the rectangle will be = 3 times of breadth = 3x
So the initial perimeter = 2(length + breadth) = 2(x + 3x) = 8x
New breadth after increase = x + 10x/100 = 1.1x
New length after increase = 3x + 30*3x/100 = 3.9x
New perimeter = 2(1.1x + 3.9x) = 10x
Percentage change in perimeter = ( 10x-8x)*100/8x = 25%

Q:

Ali and Faizer are 27m apart. They both start walking and meet 9 hrs later, if they travel in the same direction and meet after 3 hrs if they walk in opposite dirction, Ali’s speed must most likely be ?

A) 9 m/h B) 3 m/h
C) 6 m/h D) 12 m/h
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 6 m/h

Explanation:

let, speed of Ali=X mph and Faizer=Y mph

Now, relative speed when Ali is walking int the same direction with Faizer= (X-Y)mph
hence, according to question, 27/(X-Y)=9 ; solving X-Y=3; --- (1)

Now relative speed when walking in the opposite direction= (X+Y) mph
hence, according to question, 27/(X+y)=3; solving X+Y=9; --- (2)

solving 1 and 2 we get X=6 and Y=3, where X is the speed of Ali.
