The sides of a rectangle are in the ratio of 6 : 5 and its area is 1331 sq.m. Find the perimeter of rectangle.
Answer: Option 'C'
Let 6x and 5x be sides of the rectangle
6x × 5x = 1331
11x2 = 1331
x2 = 1331/11 = 121 => x = 11
Length = 6x = 6 × 11 = 66
Breadth = 5x => 5 × 11 = 55
Perimeter = 2 (l+b) => 2 (66+55) = 121 m

A rectangle measures 8 Cm on length and its diagonal measures 17 Cm. What is the perimeter of the rectangle?
Answer: Option 'C'
Second side = √172-82
= √289-64
= 15 cm
Perimeter = 2 (l+b) = 2(8+5) Cm = 2(23) = 46 Cm

A rectangular courtyard 3.78 m lang and 5.25 m broad is to be paved exactly with square tiles, all of the same size. The minimum number of such tiles is:
Answer: Option 'B'
l = 378 Cm and b = 525 Cm
Maximum length of a square tile
= HCF of (378,525) = 21 Cm
Number of tiles = (378×525)/(21×21) = (18×25) = 450

A rectangular mat has an area of 120 sq.metres and perimeter of 46 m. The length of its diagonal is:
Answer: Option 'B'
rectangular area = l × b = 120 and perimeter = 2(l+b) = 46
l+b = 23
(l-b)2 - 4lb = (23)2 - 4 × 120 = (529-480) = 49 = l-b = 7
l+b = 23, l-b = 7, we get l = 15, b = 8
Diagonal = √152+82
√225+64 => √289 = 17 m

The length of a room is 6 m and width is 4.75 m. What is the cost of paying the floor by slabs at the rate of Rs. 900 per sq. metre.
Answer: Option 'C'
Area = 6 × 4.75 sq. metre.
Cost for 1 sq. metre. = Rs. 900
Hence total cost = 6 × 4.75 × 900 = 6 × 4275 = Rs. 25650

The area of a rectangle plot is 460 square metres. If the length is 15% more than the breadth, what is the breadth of the plot?
Answer: Option 'A'
Answer: Option 'A'
lb = 460 m2...(Equation 1)
Let the breadth = b
Then length, l = b × (100+15)/100 = 115b/100 ...(Equation 2)
From Equation 1 and Equation 2,
115b/100 × b = 460
b2 = 46000/115 = 400
⇒ b = √400 = 20 m

A rectangular parking space is marked out by painting three of its sides. If the length of the unpainted side is 9 feet, and the sum of the lengths of the painted sides is 37 feet, find out the area of the parking space in square feet? a
Answer: Option 'A'
Let l = 9 ft.
Then l + 2b = 37
=> 2b = 37 - l = 37 - 9 = 28
=> b = 28/2 = 14 ft
Area = lb = 9 × 14 = 126 sq. ft.
9.
A rectangular field has to be fenced on three sides leaving a side of 20 feet uncovered. If the area of the field is 680 sq. feet, how many feet of fencing will be required?
Answer: Option 'B'
Given that area of the field = 680 sq. feet
=> lb = 680 sq. feet
Length(l) = 20 feet
=> 20 × b = 680
=> b = 680/20 = 34 feet
Required length of the fencing = l + 2b = 20 + (2 × 34) = 88 feet
10.
A large field of 900 hectares is divided into two parts. The difference of the areas of the two parts is one-fifth of the average of the two areas. What is the area of the smaller part in hectares?
Answer: Option 'C'
Let the areas of the parts be x hectares and (900 - x) hectares.
Difference of the areas of the two parts = x - (900 - x) = 2x - 900
one-fifth of the average of the two areas = 1/5[x+(900−x)]/2
= 1/5 × (900/2) = 450/5 = 90
Given that difference of the areas of the two parts = one-fifth of the average of the two areas
=> 2x - 900 = 90
=> 2x = 990
⇒ x = 990/2 = 495
Hence, area of smaller part = (900 - x) = (900 – 495) = 405 hectares.

Of the two square fields, the area of the one is 1 hectare, while anothe one is broader by 1%. There differences in area is:
Answer: Option 'C'
Area of one square field = 10000 m2
10000 × 1 = 10000
Side of this field = √10000 m = 100 m
Side of another square = 101 m
Difference of areas = [ 1012 - 1002 ] m2
[101+100][101-100] m2
(201)(1) m2 = 201 m2

Find the cost of carpenting a room 13 m long and 9 m broad with a carpet 100 Cm broad at the rate of Rs.20 per meter.
Answer: Option 'A'
Area of the carper = Area of the room
= 13 × 9 => 117 m2
Breadth of the carpet = 100 cm = 1m
Length of carpet = Area/Breadth => 117/1 = 177 m.
