Question :11

Three straight lines are drawn through the three vertices of a ΔABC, the line through each vertex being parallel to the opposite side. The ΔDEF is bounded by these parallel lines.
Consider the following statements in respect of theDDEF.

  1. Each side of ΔDEF is double the side of ΔABC to which it is parallel.
  2. Area of ΔDEF is four times the area of ΔABC.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?

Answer: (a)

1. On drawing the three straight lines through the three vertices of DABC, we get the following figure.

Here, AB||DF, BC || DE and AC || EF.

Clearly, A, B and C are the mid–points of DE, EF and DF respectively.

By mid–point theorem, BC = $1/2$ DE or DE = 2BC

Similarly, DF = 2AB and EF = 2 AC. Hence, Statement 1 is correct.

2. Also, area of ΔABC = $1/4$ area of ΔDEF or area of ΔDEF = 4 area of ΔABC. Hence, Statement 2 is also coreect.

Question :12

If A is the area of a right angled triangle and b is one of the sides containing the right angle, then what is the length of the altitude on the hypotenuse?

Answer: (b)

Area of ΔABC, A = $1/2$ × b × AB

AB = ${2A}/b$ ... (i)

By Pythagoras theorem, $AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2$

AC = $√{{4A^2}/b^2 + b^2}$

Again in ΔABC

A = $1/2$ × AC × BD

BD = ${2A}/{√{{4A^2}/{b^2} + b^2/1}} = {2A}/{√{{4A^2 + b^4}/b^2}}$

= ${2Ab}/{√{4A^2 + b^4}}$

Question :13

Assertion (A)
If the side of a rhombus is 10 cm. Its diagonals should have values 16 cm and 12 cm.
Reason (R)
The diagonals of a rhombus cut at right angles.

Answer: (b)

$H^2 = P^2 + B^2$

∴ $AB^2 + BC^2 + CD^2 + AD^2 = AC^2 + BD^2$

⇒ $(10)^2 + (10)^2 + (10)^2 + (10)^2 = (16)^2 + (12)^2$

⇒ 400 = 400

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

Question :14

In a trapezium, the two non-parallel sides are equal in length, each being of 5 cm. The parallel sides are at a distance of 3 cm apart. If the smaller side of the parallel sides is of length 2 cm, then the sum of the diagonals of the trapezium is

Answer: (c)

In ΔBCF,

mensuration-area-and-volume-aptitude-mcq

Pythagoras theorem,

$(5)^2 = (3)^2 + (BF)^2$ ⇒ BF = 4cm

AB= 2 + 4 + 4 = 10 cm

Now in ΔACF, $AC^2 = CF^2 + FA^2 ⇒ AC^2 = 3^2 + 6^2$

AC= $√{45}$ cm

Similarly, BD = $√{45}$ cm

∴ Sum of diagonal = 2 × $√{45} = 2 × 3 √5$

= 6 $√5$ cm

Question :15

If the number of square centimetres on the surface area of a sphere is three times the number of cubic centimetres in its volume, then what is its diameter?

Answer: (c)

According to question

Surface area of sphere = 3 (Volume of sphere)

⇒ 4π$r^2 = 3 × 4/3 πr^3$ ⇒ r = 1

∴ Diameter = 2r = 2 cm
