A) 10 B) 15
C) 20 D) 30

Q:

The difference between the length and breadth of a rectangle is 23 m. If its perimeter is 206 m, then its area is:

A) 1520 sq.m B) 2420 sq.m
C) 2480 sq.m D) 2520 sq.m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 2520 sq.m

Explanation:

We have: (l - b) = 23 and 2(l + b) = 206 or (l + b) = 103. 

Solving the two equations, we get: l = 63 and b = 40. 

Area = (l x b) = (63 x 40) sq.m

= 2520 sq.m

Q:

An express train takes 4 seconds to enter tunnel which is 1 km long. If it is traveling at 108 km an hour, how long will it take to pass completely through the tunnel ?

A) 33 sec B) 37.33 sec
C) 36.43 sec D) 32 sec
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 37.33 sec

Explanation:

Speed = 108 km/hr
enter a tunnel,, means that the train covers a distance equal to its own length
so (108 x 5/18) = x/4 where x= length of train
hence x = 120 mtrs
to pass completely train has to travel a distance = (x + tunnel length) that is 1120 mtrs.
so (1120/t) = (108x5/18)
t = 37.33 sec
