Question :11

The perimeter of a rectangle is 82 m and its area is 400 sq m. What is the breadth of the rectangle?

Answer: (c)

Perimeter of a rectangle = 82 m

∴ 2(Length + Breadth) = 82 m

⇒ Length + Breadth = 41 m

⇒ l + b = 41 m ...(i)

Also, its area = 400 $m^2$

⇒ l × b = 400 ...(ii)

Now, $(l – b)^2 = (l + b)^2$ – 4lb

= $(41)^2$ – 4 (400)

= 1681 – 1600 = 81

∴ l – b = 9 ...(iii)

From Eqs. (i) and (iii)

2l = 50 ⇒ l = 25 m and b = 16 m

∴ Required breadth (b) = 16 m

Question :12

If the circumferences of two circles are in the ratio 2 : 3, then what is the ratio of their areas?

Answer: (c)

Let the radii of two circles are $r_1$ and $r_2$ , respectively.

Given, ${\text"Circumference of Ist circle"}/{\text"Circumference of IInd circle"} = 2/3$

⇒ ${2 π r_1}/{2 π r_2} = 2/3 ⇒ r_1/r_2 = 2/3$

⇒ $(r_1/r_2)^2 = 4/9$ ...(i)

∴ ${\text"Area of Ist circle"}/{\text"Area of IInd circle"} = {π r_1^2}/{π r_2^2} = (r_1/r_2)^2 = 4/9$

Question :13

Angles are shown in the given figure. What is value of ∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 + ∠4 + ∠5 + ∠6 + ∠7 + ∠8 ?

Answer: (c)

a + b + c + d = 360°

(1 + 2 + a) + (3 + 4 + b) + (5 + 6 + c) + (7 + 8 + d) = 180° × 4

∴ 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 = 360°

Question :14

Let D, E be the points on sides AB and AC respectively of a DABC such that DE is parallel to BC. Let AD = 2 cm, DB = 1 cm, AE = 3 cm and area of ΔADE = 3 $cm^2$. What is EC equal to?

Answer: (b)

In ΔADE and ΔABC

mensuration-area-and-volume-aptitude-mcq

∠A = ∠A

DE || BC

ΔADE ∼ ΔABC

${AD}/{AB} = {AE}/{AC}$

⇒ ${AD}/{BD} = {AE}/{EC}$

$2/1 = 3/{EC} ⇒ EC = 3/2$ = 1.5 cm

Question :15

In the ΔABC, the base BC is trisected at D and E. The line through D, parallel to AB, meets AC at F and the line through E parallel to AC meets AB at G. If EG and DF intersect at H, then what is the ratio of the sum of the area of parallelogram AGHF and the area of the ΔDHE to the area of the ΔABC?

Answer: (c)

Here, ΔABC forms an equilateral triangle.

mensuration-area-and-volume-aptitude-mcq

where, AGFH form a rhombus and ΔHDE is also an equilateral triangle.

∴ Area of rhombus

= (Area of ΔAGF + Area of ΔGFH)

= $√3/4 (x/3)^2 + √3/4 (x/3)^2 = 2 × √3/4 (x/3)^2$

Now, area of ΔHDE = $√3/4 (x/3)^2$

and area of ΔABC = $√3/4 x^2$

By given condition,

${\text"Area of rhombus AGHF+ Area of ΔHDE"}/{\text"Area of ΔABC"}$

= ${2 × √3/4 (x/3)^2 + √3/4 (x/3)^2}/{√3/4 x^2}$

= ${3 × √3/4 (x/3)^2}/{√3/4 x^2} = 3/9 = 1/3$
