Questions : mensuration-area-and-volume-aptitude-mcq
In the figure given above, what is ∠CBA?

(a) 50°

(b) 30°

(c) 45°

(d) 60°

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (d)

The sum of opposite angles in cyclic quadrilateral is always 180°.

∴ ∠ACQ + ∠APQ = 180°

75° + ∠APQ = 180°

∴ ∠APQ = 180° – 75° = 105°

∠ACQ + ∠QCR = 180° (∵ Straight line)

75° + ∠QCR = 180°

∠QCR = 180° – 75° = 105°

∠CQR = 180° – 105° – 30° = 45°

Since, ∠APQ + ∠BPQ = 180° (Straight line)

∴ 105° + ∠BPQ = 180°

∠BPQ = 75°

In ΔBPQ ∠B + ∠P + ∠Q = 180°

∠B + 75° + 45° = 180°

⇒ ∠B = 60° ∴ ∠CBA = 60°

Question : 1

What is the area of the largest circular disc cut from a square of side $2/√π$ units?

a) $π^2$ square units

b) π square units

c) 1 square unit

d) 2 square units

Answer: (c)

Side of square = $2/√π$

radius of circular disc = $2/√π × 1/2 = 1/√π$

area of disc = $π r^2 = π (1/√π)^2$ = 1 unit 2

Question : 2

If a square of side x and an equilateral triangle of side y are inscribed in a circle, then what is the ratio of x to y ?

a) $3/√2$

b) $√{2/3}$

c) $√{3/2}$

d) $√2/3$

Answer: (b)

Let Radius of circle be r

Case I (Square)

side = x

$x^2 + x^2 = (2r)^2$

mensuration-area-and-volume-aptitude-mcq

$2x^2 = 4r^2$

x = $√2$r

Case II (equilateral triangle)

y cos30° = h

y × $√3/2$ = h

r = $2/3 × √3/2$ y

r = $y/√3$

[if h= 3 r = 2]

$y/{2r} = √3/2$

y = ${2 √3r}/2 = √3r$

$x/y = {√2 r}/{√3 r} = √{2/3}$

Question : 3

a, b, c, b are non-zero integers such that (ab) divides (cd). If a and c are coprime, then which one of the following is correct?

a) a is a factor of d

b) a is a factor of c

c) a is a factor of b

d) d is a factor of a

Answer: (a)

Since we are given that a and c are co-prime i.e. HCF of a and c is 1, therefore we can say that a definitely divides d exactly.

So, a is a factor of d.

Question : 4

The cross section of a canal is a trapezium in shape. If the canal is 7 metres wide at the top and 9 metres at the bottom and the area of cross-section is 1280 square metres, find the height of the canal.

a) 154 metres

b) 160 metres

c) 172 metres

d) None of these

Answer: (b)

mensuration-aptitude-mcq

Let the height of canal = h.

Then, area of canal = $1/2$ × h(9 + 7)

or = 1280 = $1/2$ h(16)

∴ h = ${1280 × 2}/{16}$ = 160m

Question : 5

Assertion (A)
Triangles on the same base and between the same parallel lines are equal in area.
Reason (R)
The distance between two parallel lines is same everywhere.

a) A is true but R is false

b) Both A and R individually true and R is the correct explanation of A

c) Both A and R are individually true but R is not the correct explanation of A

d) A is false but R is true

Answer: (b)

mensuration-area-and-volume-aptitude-mcq

A. By the properties of triangle, it is true.

R. It is also true that the distance between two parallel lines is same everywhere.

Hence, A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Question : 6

If the sum of the circumferences of two circles with radii $R_1$ and $R_2$ is equal to the circumference of a circle of radius R, then

a) $R_1 + R_2$ < R

b) $R_1 + R_2$ = R

c) $R_1 + R_2 > R_3$

d) Nothing definite can be said about the relation among $R_1.R_2$ and R

Answer: (b)
