Question :11

Consider the following statements :

  1. Let D be a point on the side BC of a triangle ABC. If area of triangle ABD = area of triangle ACD, then for all points O on' AD, area of triangle ABO = area of triangle ACO.
  2. If G is the point of concurrence of the medians of a triangle ABC, then area of triangle ABG = area of triangle BCG = area of triangle ACG.
Which of the above statements is /are correct?

Answer: (a)

Statement 1

AD divides ΔABC in equal area of two parts.

Then O is point on anywhere on AD

mensuration-area-and-volume-aptitude-mcq

So area of triangle

ΔABO = ΔAOC,

So statement 1 is true.

Statement 2

G is the point of concurrence of the medians then

mensuration-area-and-volume-aptitude-mcq

area of ΔABG = area of ΔBCG = Area of ΔACG

Both are true.

Question :12

A grassy field has the shape of an equilateral triangle of side 6 m. A horse is tied to one of its vertices with a rope of length 4.2 m. The percentage of the total area of the field which is available for grazing is best approximated by

Answer: (a)

Suppose a horse is tied at vertex A. Then, area available grazing field is ADE.

mensuration-area-and-volume-aptitude-mcq

Now, area of curve

ADE = ${π r^2 θ}/{360°} = {22 × (4.2)^2 × 60°}/{7 × 360°} = 9.24 m^2$

and area of equilateral Δ ABC = $√3/4 (side)^2$

= $√3/4 × (6)^2$ = 15.57

∴ Required percentage

= ${9.24}/{15.57}$ × 100 = 59.34% = 59% (approx)

Question :13

Consider a trapezium ABCD, in which AB is parallel to CD and AD is perpendicular to AB. If the trapezium has an incircle which touches AB at E and CD at F, where EB = 25 cm and FC = 16 cm, then what is the diameter of the circle?

Answer: (d)

mensuration-area-and-volume-aptitude-mcq

From tangent properties

CF = CG = 16

BE = BG = 25 H

∴ BC = 16 + 25 = 41 cm

From ΔBCH,

CH = diameter = $√{(41)^2 – (9)^2}$

= $√{1681 – 81}$

= $√{1600}$ = 40cm

Question :14

A bucket is of a height 25 cm. Its top and bottom radii are 20 cm and 10 cm, respectively. Its capacity (in L) is

Answer: (b)

Given that,

Height of bucket = 25 cm

Radii of top (R) = 20 cm

radii of bottom (r) = 10 cm

mensuration-area-and-volume-aptitude-mcq

∴ Capacity of bucket

= $π/3 h(R^2 + r^2 + Rr)$

= $π/3 × 25 (400 + 100 + 200) cm^3$

= $π/3 × 25 × 700 cm^3$

= $π/3 × {175 × 100}/{1000} = {17.5 π}/3$L

Question :15

Let PQRS be the diameter of a circle of radius 9 cm. The length PQ, QR and RS are equal. Semi-circle is drawn with QS as diameter (as shown in the given figure). What is the ratio of the shaded region to that of the unshaded region?

mensuration area and volume aptitude mcq 24 147

Answer: (c)

${\text"Shaded Area"}/{\text"Total Area"} = {1/2 (π × 9^2 - π × 6^2)}/{π × 9^2} = 5/{18}$

∴ ${\text"Shaded area"}/{\text"Unshaded area"} = 5/{18 - 5} = 5/{13}$
