Q:

The area of a square is equal to the area of a rectangle. The length of the rectangle is 5 cm more than a side of the square and its breadth is 3 cm less than the side of the square. What is the perimeter of the rectangle ? 

A) 15 cm B) 18 cm
C) 34 cm D) 26 cm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 34 cm

Explanation:

Let the side of the square be 's' cm

 

length of rectangle = (s+5) cm

 

breadth of rectangle = (s-3)cm

 

(s+5) (s-3) = 

 

s2 - 5s - 3s - 15 = s2 

 

2s = 15

 

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(L+B) = 2(s+5 + s–3) = 2(2s + 2)

 

= 2(15 + 2) = 34 cm

Q:

Althaf borrows Rs. 1500 from two moneylenders. He pays interest at the rate of 12% per annum for one loan and at the rate of 14% per annum for the other. The total interest he pays for the entire year is Rs. 186. How much does he borrow at the rate of 12% ?

A) Rs. 300 B) Rs. 400
C) Rs. 1200 D) Rs. 1100
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs. 1200

Explanation:

Let Althaf lent Rs. A at 14% per year.
Hence, Money lent at 12% = (1500-A);
Given, total interest = Rs. 186.
{(A x 14x 1)/100} + {[(1500-A) x 12 x 1/100]} = 186;
14A/100 + (18000 -12A)/100 = 186;
14A + 18000 - 12A = 186x100;
2A = 18600-18000;
A = 600/2 = Rs. 300.
Hence, money lent at 12% = 1500-300 = Rs. 1200.

Q:

How many squares with sides 1/2 inch long are needed to cover a rectangle that is 4 ft long and 4 ft wide ?

A) 9216 B) 10246
C) 12345 D) 7527
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 9216

Explanation:

It takes four of those little squares -- each one 1/2 inch on a side -- to cover one square inch. That's because each one is 1/2 x 1/2, or 1/4 of a square inch.
In a rectangle that is 48 inches by 48 inches, there are 2304 square inches.(1 ft = 12 inches)
Since it takes 4 little squares to cover 1 sq inch, then it would need 2304 x 4 squares (1/2 inch on a side each) to cover a rectangle 4 feet by 4 feet.

That is 9,216 of those squares.

Q:

What is the profit or loss % when a shopkeeper bought 4 mangoes for Rs. 6 and sold them @ 4 mangoes for Rs. 4?

A) 36.333% B) 33.666%
C) 33.333% D) 36.666%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 33.333%

Explanation:

Cost of 4 mangoes = Rs. 6 

Cost of 1 mango = Rs. 6/4 = Rs. 1.5

Now, Selling Price of 4 mangoes = Rs. 4

Selling Price of 1 mango = Rs. 4/4 = Rs. 1.0

 

      • We observe that, S.P < C.P

 

Hence, the shopkeeper incurs a loss.

 

Required loss% = loss/C.P x 100

Loss = 1.5 - 1 = 0.5

C.P = 1.5

Loss% = (0.5/1.5) x 100

 = (5/15) x 100

 = 1/3 x 100

 = 100/3

 = 33.333%.
