Questions : 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

The correct answers to the above question in:

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 : 1

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 : 2

A cardboard sheet in the form of a circular sector of radius 30 cm and central angle 144º is folded to make a cone. What is the radius of the cone?

a) 21 cm

b) 12 cm

c) 18 cm

d) None of these

Answer: (b)

length of the are = 2 π r $(θ/{360º})$

Radius of arc(r) = 30 am

Length of the arc = 2πr = 2π × 30 × ${144}/{360}$ = 24π

Let the radius of the cone = R ∴ 2πR = 24π

⇒ R = ${30 × 144}/{360}$ = 12cm

Question : 3

Using the data in the above question, what is the breadth of the rectangle ?

a) 8

b) 6

c) 12

d) 10

Answer: (a)

Breadth of the rectangle is 8 units, as solved above

Question : 4

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 : 5

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 : 6

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 × $4 √2 = 8 √2$
