Question :26

There are two concentric circular tracks of radii 100 m and 102 m, respectively. A runs on the inner track and goes once round on the inner track in 1 min 30 sec, while B runs on the outer track in 1 min 32 sec. Who runs faster?

Answer: (c)

Radius of the inner track = 100 m

and time = 1 min 30 sec ≡90 sec.

Also, Radius of the outer track = 102 m

and time = 1 min 32 sec ≡ 92 sec.

Now, speed of A who runs on the inner track

= ${2 π (100)}/{90} = {20 π}/{9}$ = 6.98

And speed of B who runs on the outer track

= ${2 π (102)}/{90} = {51 π}/{23}$ = 6.96

Since, speed of A > speed of B

∴ A runs faster than B.

Question :27

What is the area between a square of side 10 cm and two inverted semi-circular, cross-sections each of radius 5 cm inscribed in the square?

Answer: (b)

Area between square and semi-circles

= Area of square – 2x Area of semi-circle

$(10)^2 - 2x {100}/7 × {(5)^2}/2 = 100 - 78.5 = 21.5 cm^2$

Question :28

From a solid cylinder whose height is 4 cm and radius 3 cm a conical cavity of height 4 cm and base radius 3 cm is hollowed out. What is the volume of the remaining solid?

Answer: (d)

Volume of solid cylinder = π$(3)^2{4} = 36π cm^3$

and volume of conical cavity

= $1/3 π{(3)^2}(4) = 12 π cm^3$

∴ Volume of remaining solid

= 36π – 12π = 24π $cm^3$

Question :29

In the figure given below, ABC is a right-angled triangle where ∠A = 90°, AB = p cm and AC = q cm. On the three sides as diameters semicircles are drawn as shown in the figure. The area of the shaded portion, in square cm is

mensuration area and volume aptitude mcq 24 119

Answer: (d)

In ΔABC, by phythagoras

BC = $√{p^2 + q^2}$

Area of the semicircle with diameter BC

= $π/2 ({√{p^2 + q^2}}/2)^2$

= $π/8 (p^2 + q^2)$

Area of the semicircle with diameter AB

$π/2 (p/2)^2 = {π p^2}/8$

Area of the semicircle with diameter AC

= $π/2 (q/2)^2 = {π q^2}/8$

Area of the triangle ABC = $1/2$ pq.

Area of shaded region =

${πp^2}/8 + {π q^2}/8 + 1/2 pq - π/8 (p^2 + q^2)$

= ${π (P^2 + q^2)}/8 + 1/2 pq - π/8 (p^2 + q^2)$

= $1/2$ pq.

Question :30

27 drops of water form a big drop of water. If the radius of each smaller drop is 0.2 cm, then what is the radius of the bigger drop?

Answer: (c)

According to question,

27 × Volume of smaller drops = Volume of bigger drop

∴ $27 × 4/3 π r^3 = 4/3 π R^3$

⇒ 27 × $(0.2)^3 = R^3$

⇒ $(3 × 0.2)^3 = R^3$

R = 0.6 cm
