Q:

If the length of the diagonal of a square is 20cm,then its perimeter must be

a. $40 \sqrt{2}$ cm b. $30 \sqrt{2}$ cm c. 10cm d. 15 $\sqrt{2}$ cm

A) a	B) b
C) c	D) d

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) a

Explanation:

We know that d=√2s

Given diagonal = 20 cm

=> s = 20/ $\sqrt{2}$ cm

Therefore, perimeter of the square is 4s = 4 x 20/ $\sqrt{2}$ = 40 $\sqrt{2}$ cm.

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 154

Explanation:

The diameter is equal to the shortest side of the rectangle.

So radius= 14/2 = 7cm.

Therefore, $a r e a o f c i r c l e = {πr}^{2} = \frac{22}{7} \times 49 = 154 {cm}^{2}$

Q:

At what time between 5.30 and 6 will the hands of a clock be at right angles?

A) (43 + 5/11) min past 5	B) (43 + 7/11) min pats 5
C) 5	D) 7

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) (43 + 7/11) min pats 5

Explanation:

At 5 o'clock, the hands are 25 min. spaces apart.
To be at right angles and that too between 5.30 and 6, the minute hand has to gain (25 + 15) = 40 min. spaces.

55 min. spaces are gained in 60 min

40 min. spaces are gained in $\frac{60}{55} \times 40$ min

Q:

At what time between 7 and 8 o'clock will the hands of a clock be in the same straight line but,not together?

A) (5 + 5/11 )min past 7	B) (6 + 5/11) min past 7
C) 7	D) 8

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) (5 + 5/11 )min past 7

Explanation:

When the hands of the clock are in the same straight line but not together, they are 30 minute spaces apart.
At 7 o'clock, they are 25 min. spaces apart.
$\therefore$ Minute hand will have to gain only 5 min. spaces.
55 min. spaces are gained in 60 min.

5 min spaces are gained in $(\frac{60}{55} * 5)$ min = $5 \frac{5}{11}$ min

so, Required time = $5 \frac{5}{11}$ min past 7

Q:

A watch which gains 5 seconds in 3 minutes was set right at 7 a.m. In the afternoon of the same day, when the watch indicated quarter past 4 o'clock, the true time is:

A) 4pm	B) 5pm
C) 6pm	D) 7pm

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 4pm

Explanation:

Time from 7 am to 4.15 pm = 9 hrs 15 min = $\frac{37}{4}$ hrs

3 min. 5 sec. of this clock = 3 min. of the correct clock.

Now 3min.5sec. is $\frac{37}{720}$ hrs of this clock = 3 min.is $\frac{1}{20}$ hrs of the correct clock

$\frac{37}{4}$ hrs of clock = $(\frac{1}{20} \times \frac{720}{37} \times \frac{37}{4})$ hrs of the correct clock.

= 9 hrs of the correct clock.

$\therefore$ The correct time is 9 hrs after 7 am. i.e., 4 pm.
