Q:

The perimeter of a square is equal to twice the perimeter of a rectangle of length 8cm and breadth 7cm. What is the circumference of a semicircle whose diameter is equal to the side of the square ?

A) 55.12 cm B) 22.54 cm
C) 42.51 cm D) 38.57 cm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 38.57 cm

Explanation:

We know that perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b) = 2(8+7)= 30cm
Given perimeter of square is twice the perimeter of rectangle = 2(30) = 60cm
Therefore, side of the square is = 1/4 x 60 = 15cm
Circumference of the required semicircle = πr + 2r = 227× 152 + 2×152 = 23.57 + 15 = 38.57cm.

Q:

A train covers a distance between station A and station B in 45 min.If the speed of the train is reduced by 5 km/hr,then the same distance is covered in 48 min.what is the distance between the stations A and B ?

A) 80 kms B) 60 kms
C) 45 kms D) 32 kms
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 60 kms

Explanation:

Let 'd' be the distance and 's' be the speed and 't' be the time
d=sxt
45 mins = 3/4 hr and 48 mins = 4/5 hr
As distance is same in both cases;
s(3/4) = (s-5)(4/5)
3s/4 = (4s-20)/5
15s = 16s-80
s = 80 km.
=> d = 80 x 3/4 = 60 kms.
