The following question based on Mensuration topic of quantitative aptitude

Questions : 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

The correct answers to the above question in:

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 : 1

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 : 2

A rectangle carboard is 18 cm × 10 cm. From the four corners of the rectangle, quarter circles of radius 4 cm are cut. What is the perimeter (approximate) of the remaining portion?

a) 51.0 cm

b) 47.1 cm

c) 49.1 cm

d) 53.0 cm

Answer: (c)

mensuration-area-and-volume-aptitude-mcq

Remaining perimeter

= $({2 πr}/4)$4 + 10 + 2 + 10 + 2 = 2 × 3.14 × 4 + 24

= 25.12 + 24 = 49.12 cm

= 49.1 cm (approx)

Question : 3

In a Δ ABC, AD is the median through A and E is the mid– point of AD and BE produced meets AC at F. Then, AF is equal to

mensuration area and volume aptitude mcq 22 107

a) AC/ 3

b) AC/ 5

c) AC/ 4

d) AC/ 2

Answer: (a)

In ΔABC, we draw a line l || BF which intersect AC at G. In ΔADG and ΔAEF;

given that EA is the mid point of AD and DL || EF.

So, concept of similar triangle.

F is also mid point of AG. AF = FG (i)

DADG and DAEF are similar.

Again

ΔFBC and ΔDCl

BF || DG

given that AD is median so thad DB the mid point of BC.

G will be The mid point of CF

CG = GF ...(ii)

From equations (i) and (ii), we get

AF = FG = CG ...(iii)

From figure, AC = AF = FG + CG

= AF + AF + AF + 3AF

⇒ AF = $1/3$ AC

Question : 4

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 : 5

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

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 : 6

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
