Q:

The ratio between the perimeter and the breadth of a rectangle is 5 : 1. If the area of the rectangle is 216 sq. cm, what is the length of the rectangle?

A) 16 B) 18
C) 20 D) 22
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 18

Explanation:

2l+bb=51      => 2l + 2b = 5b     => 3b = 2l 

b=(2/3)l

 

Then, Area = 216 cm2 

=> l x b = 216     => l x (2/3)l =216 

l = 18 cm.

Q:

 (3x + 2) (2x - 5) = ax² + kx + n .

What is the value of a - n + k ?

A) 5 B) 8
C) 9 D) 10
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 5

Explanation:

This is a quadratic equation. To find n we multiply the last terms in each bracket together (2 times -5) = -10

To find ‘a’ we multiply the first terms in each bracket together (3x times 2x) = 6x2, So a = 6.

Thus a - n = 16

To find k we multiply the first term in the first bracket by the second term in the second bracket and add the result to the product of the second term in the first bracket and the first term in the second. (-15x + 4x) = -11x. So k = -11

16 - 11 = 5
