mensuration area volumes Model Questions & Answers, Practice Test for ibps po prelims 2023

Question :6

In a right angled ΔABC, ∠C = 90° and CD is perpendicular to AB. If AB × CD = CA × CB, then $1/{CD}^2$ is equal to

Answer: (a)

mensuration-area-and-volume-aptitude-mcq

In ΔABC

CD ⊥ AB

and AB × CD = CA × CB .... (i)

In ΔCDB

$BC^2 = BD^2 + CD^2$ ... (ii)

$CD^2 = BC^2 – BD^2$

From eq. (i) and (ii)

$1/{CD^2} = 1/{BC^2} - 1/{CA^2}$

Question :7

ABCD is a parallelogram with AB and AD as adjacent sides. If ∠A = 60° and AB = 2AD, then the diagonal BD will be equal to

Answer: (c)

mensuration-area-and-volume-aptitude-mcq

Using cosine law

cos A = ${AD^2 + AB^2 - BD^2}/{2.AD.AB}$

⇒ cos 60° = ${AD^2 + (2AD)^2 - BD^2}/{2.AD.2AD}$

⇒ $1/2 = {AD^2 + 4AD^2 - BD^2}/{4AD^2}$

⇒ $2AD^2 = 5AD^2 – BD^2$

⇒ $BD^2 = 5AD^2 – 2AD^2$

⇒ BD = $3AD^2$

⇒ BD = $√3$ AD

So, option (c) is correct.

Question :8

A tent of a circus is made of canvas and is in the form of right circular cylinder and right circular cone above it. The height and diameter of the cylindrical part of the tent are 5 m and 126 m respectively. The total height of the tent is 21 m. How many square metres of canvas are used ?

Answer: (d)

Canvas used = $CSA_{cylinder} + CSA_{cone}$

= 2πrh + πrl

= 1980 + ${22}/7 × 63 × 65 = 14850 m^2$

Question :9

mensuration-area-and-volume-aptitude-mcq
In the figure given above, O is the centre of the circle. What is ∠AOC?

Answer: (d)

mensuration-area-and-volume-aptitude-mcq

Join OB. OA = OB = OC

Then,

∠OAB = ∠OBA = 20°

∠OCB = ∠OBC = 30°

∠ABC = 50°

We know that ∠ABC = $1/2$ ∠AOC

∴ ∠AOC = 2 ∠ABC = 2 × 50° = 100°

Question :10

The radius and height of a right circular cone are in the ratio 3 : 4 and its volume is 96π $cm^3$ . What is its lateral surface area?

Answer: (d)

Let radius and height of a cone be r and h

∵ $r/h = 3/4$

Volume of cone = $1/3 πr^2 h$

∴ 96π = $1/3 π × r^2 × {4r}/3$

⇒ $r^3 = {96 × 3 × 3}/4$ = 216 ⇒ r= 6 cm

and h = 8 cm

∴ Lateral surface area

= πr$√{r^2 + h^2}$

= π × 6$√{36 + 64}$

= 60π sq cm
