  • A. 1
  • B. 2
  • C. 4
  • D. Data Inadequate

Explanation: Two equal square rooms placed along the 4 m length each occupy half that length, so each square has side 4 m ÷ 2 = 2 m.

Correct answer: 2
  • A. 42%
  • B. 62%
  • C. 82%
  • D. none of these

Explanation: Let the square's side be s units, so its area is s² square units. The new dimensions are 1.4s and 1.3s, giving area 1.4s × 1.3s = 1.82s²…

Correct answer: 82%
  • A. Rs.500
  • B. Rs. 600
  • C. Rs. 700
  • D. Rs. 800

Explanation: The outer dimensions including the 2.5 m verandah on both sides are 25 m and 20 m, so the outer area is 500 m².

Correct answer: Rs. 700
  • A. 9:1
  • B. 3:1
  • C. 3:4
  • D. 1:3

Explanation: The area ratio of squares equals the square of their side ratio, so a 9:1 area ratio gives side ratio √9:√1 = 3:1.

Correct answer: 3:1
  • A. 37 ½ %
  • B. 60 %
  • C. 75 %
  • D. 120%

Explanation: When the length becomes 160% of its original value, the width must become 100/160 = 62.5% to preserve the same area.

Correct answer: 37 ½ %
  • A. 15
  • B. 20
  • C. 30
  • D. 60

Explanation: Let the square's side be s cm. The rectangle's breadth is 3s/2 cm, so its area is 40 cm × 3s/2 cm = 60s cm², while the square's area is s²…

Correct answer: 20
  • A. 15m
  • B. 4m
  • C. 3m
  • D. None of these

Explanation: Let the breadth be b m, so the length is 4b/3 m. From (4b/3) × b = 300 m², we get b² = 225 m² and b = 15 m, while the length is 20 m…

Correct answer: None of these
  • A. 125
  • B. 156.25
  • C. 50
  • D. 56.25

Explanation: Increasing the side by 25% makes it 1.25 times the original, so the area becomes 1.25² = 1.5625 times the original.

Correct answer: 56.25
  • A. 260m
  • B. 280m
  • C. 360m
  • D. None of these

Explanation: Let the length and breadth be 5x m and 4x m. Their difference is x m, so x = 20 m; hence the dimensions are 100 m and 80 m, and the…

Correct answer: 360m
  • A. 37
  • B. 38
  • C. 39
  • D. 40

Explanation: The playground perimeter is 2(36 m + 21 m) = 114 m. At a spacing of 3 m, the number of equal boundary intervals, and therefore flag staffs…

Correct answer: 38
  • A. 20
  • B. 30
  • C. 60
  • D. None of these

Explanation: The playground is one-third of the plot, so the plot area is 3 × 1200 m² = 3600 m².

Correct answer: None of these
  • A. 15.12 sq.cm
  • B. 13.52 sq.cm
  • C. 12.62 sq.cm
  • D. 10 sq.cm

Explanation: For a square, the diagonal satisfies d² = 2A, so A = d² ÷ 2 = (5.2 cm)² ÷ 2 = 27.04 cm² ÷ 2 = 13.52 cm².

Correct answer: 13.52 sq.cm
  • A. A square with an area of 36 sq.cm
  • B. An Equilateral Triangle with a side of 9 cm
  • C. A rectangle with 10 cm as length and 40 sq.cm as area
  • D. A circle with a radius of 4 cm

Explanation: The square has side √36 cm² = 6 cm, so its perimeter is 24 cm. The triangle perimeter is 3 × 9 cm = 27 cm, the rectangle has breadth 40…

Correct answer: A rectangle with 10 cm as length and 40 sq.cm as area
  • A. 26.4 m2
  • B. 39.6 m2
  • C. 52.8 m2
  • D. 79.2 m2

Explanation: A sector's area is (angle ÷ 360°) × πr². Substituting gives (42° ÷ 360°) × π × (12 m)² = 16.8π m² = 52.8 m² using π = 22/7.

Correct answer: 52.8 m2
  • A. 0.35 cm2
  • B. 17.5 cm2
  • C. 8.75 cm2
  • D. 55 cm2

Explanation: For a sector, area = 1/2 × radius × arc length. Therefore the area is 1/2 × 5 cm × 3.5 cm = 8.75 cm².

Correct answer: 8.75 cm2
  • A. (400 - 100π) cm2</sup
  • B. (400 - 2π) cm2</sup
  • C. (400 - 200π) cm2</sup
  • D. 200π cm2</sup

Explanation: Each semicircle has diameter 20 cm, so radius 10 cm; the two semicircles together form one circle of area π(10 cm)² = 100π cm².

Correct answer: (400 - 100π) cm2</sup
  • A. Rs.45
  • B. Rs.78
  • C. Rs.44
  • D. Rs.40

Explanation: The walk is an annulus with outer radius 15 m and inner radius 13 m, so its area is π[(15 m)² - (13 m)²] = 56π m² = 176 m².

Correct answer: Rs.44
  • A. 25 cm
  • B. 28 cm
  • C. 30 cm
  • D. 35 cm

Explanation: The perimeter of a semicircle includes its curved part and diameter, so P = πr + 2r.

Correct answer: 28 cm
