The following question based on Mensuration topic of quantitative aptitude

Questions : The length, breadth and height of a cuboid are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3. The length, breadth and height of the cuboid are increased by 100%, 200% and 200%, respectively. Then, the increase in the volume of the cuboid will be

(a) 12 times

(b) 5 times

(c) 6 times

(d) 17 times

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (d)

Let the length, breadth and height of the cuboid be x, 2x and 3x, respectively.

Therefore, volume = x × 2x × 3x = $6x^3$

New length, breadth and height = 2x, 6x and 9x, respectively.

New volume = $108x^3$

Thus, increase in volume = $(108 – 6)x^3 = 102x^3$

${\text"Increase in volume"}/{\text"Original volume"} = {102x^3}/{6x^3}$ = 17

Question : 1

Two circles touch each other internally. Their radii are 4 cm and 6 cm. What is the length of the longest chord of the outer circle which is outside the inner circle?

a) 6 $√3$ cm

b) 4 $√2$ cm

c) 4 $√3$ cm

d) 8 $√2$ cm

Answer: (d)

mensuration-area-and-volume-aptitude-mcq

Let O is centre of big circle, and O' is centre of smaller circle. Both are touch internally each other.

OA = 6 cm O'A = 4cm

Here PR is longest chord of big circle

P.S = ${PR}/2$

OS = AS – OA

= 8 – 6 = 2 cm.

In ΔPSO

$(PS)^2 + (OS)^2 = (OP)^2$

⇒ $(PS)^2 + (2)^2 = (6)^2$

PS = $√{36 - 4} = √{32} = 4 √2$

Now,

PS = ${PR}/2$

PR = 2 × PS

= 2 × $4 √2 = 8 √2$

Question : 2

Let LMNP be a parallelogram and NR be perpendicular to LP. If the area of the parallelogram is six times the area of ΔRNP and RP = 6 cm what is LR equal to?

a) 9 cm

b) 15 cm

c) 12 cm

d) 8 cm

Answer: (c)

mensuration-area-and-volume-aptitude-mcq

Area of parallelogram = 6 × Area of ΔNPR

∴ NR × PL= 6 × $1/2$ × NR × PR

⇒ PL = 3PR (here, PL = PR + RL)

⇒ PR + RL= 3PR

⇒ RL= 2PL = 2 × 6 = 12 cm

Question : 3

mensuration-area-and-volume-aptitude-mcqIn the figure given, ∠B = 38°, AC = BC and AD = CD. What is ∠D equal to?

a) 38°

b) 26°

c) 28°

d) 52°

Answer: (c)

Given, AC = BC

mensuration-area-and-volume-aptitude-mcq

In ΔABC, ∠ABC = ∠CAB

∠ABC = ∠CAB = 38° (∴ AC = BC)

∠ACB = 180° – (∠ABC + ∠CAB)

= 180° – (38° + 38°) = 180° – 76° = 104°

In ΔACD, ∠ACD = 180° – 104° = 76°

and ∠ACD = ∠CAD = 76°

(∵ CD = AD)

∴ ∠ADC = 180° – (∠ACD + ∠CAD)

= 180° – (76° + 76°) = 28°

Question : 4

ABCD is a quadrilateral such that BC = BA and CD > AD. Which one of the following is correct?

a) ∠BAD > ∠BCD

b) ∠BAD = ∠BCD

c) ∠BAD < ∠BCD

d) None of these

Answer: (a)

Construction : In quadrilateral ABCD, form A to C.

Now, in ΔABC

mensuration-area-and-volume-aptitude-mcq

∵ AB = BC ...(Given)

∴ ∠BAC = ∠BCA

(angles opposite to equal side)

In ΔADC,

∵ CD > AD

∴ ∠DAC> ∠DCA

(since in a triangle, angle opposite to greater side is bigger than the angle opposite to smaller side)

On adding eqs. (i) and (ii), we get

∠BAD > ∠BCD

Question : 5

In the figure given below, ABC is a triangle. BC is parallel to AE. If BC = AC, then what is the value of ∠CAE?

mensuration area and volume aptitude mcq 21 38

a) 40°

b) 20°

c) 30°

d) 50°

Answer: (d)

Given that, BC || AE

∠CBA + ∠EAB = 180°

⇒ ∠EAB =180° – 65° = 115°

&because; BC= AC

Hence, ΔABC is an isosceles triangle

mensuration-area-and-volume-aptitude-mcq

∠CBA= ∠CAB = 65°

Now, ∠EAB = ∠EAC + ∠CAB

⇒ 115° = x + 65° ⇒ x = 50°

Question : 6

Consider the following statements : Two triangles are said to be congruent, if

  1. Three angles of one triangle are equal to the corresponding three angles of the other triangle.
  2. Three sides of one triangle are equal to the corresponding three sides of the other triangle.
  3. Two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to the corresponding two sides and the included angle of the other triangle.
  4. Two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to the corresponding two angles and the included side of the other triangle.
Which of the above statements are correct?

a) 1, 2 and 4

b) 1, 2 and 3

c) 1, 3 and 4

d) 2, 3 and 4

Answer: (d)
