Q:

The diagonal of a rectangle is $\sqrt{41}$ cm and its area is 20 sq. cm. The perimeter of the rectangle must be:

A) 18	B) 28
C) 38	D) 48

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 18

Explanation:

$\sqrt{(l^{2} + b^{2})} = \sqrt{41}$ (or) $l^{2} + b^{2} = 41$

Also, $l b = 20$

${(l + b)}^{2} = l^{2 +} b^{2} + 2 l b$ = 41 + 40 = 81

(l + b) = 9.

Perimeter = 2(l + b) = 18 cm.

Answer

1. Answer : 2

Explanation : Productivity = Total production/area of Agr.land

Productivity of UP = [ (35000+30000+25000) / (30/100) ] = 300000

Productivity of MP = [ (30000+37500+27500) / (25/100) ] = 380000

Productivity of Bihar = [ (22500+27500+25000) / (20/100) ] = 375000

Productivity of Odisha = [ (22500+15000+10000) / (5/100) ]= 950000

Productivity of Haryana = [ (30000+25000+35000) / (8/100) ] = 1125000

Productivity of Punjab = [ (40000+35000+30000) / (12/100) ] = 875000

The Productivity of Haryana is the maximum.

4. Answer : 4

Explanation : The ratio of prodution of Rice in Bihar to the production of Wheat in Haryana = 25000 tonnes : 25000 tonnes = 1 : 1

5. Answer : 1

Explanation : Income of MP from export of 40% of Rice at the rate of Rs.30 per kg = Rs.39crore
