425
476
450
350
Explanation:

3 1/2 $\times$ 8 1/2 = 1/4 $\times$ 1/4 $\times x$ => x = 476

10916.A rectangular farm has to be fenced one long side, one short side and the diagonal. If the cost of fencing is Rs.10 per meter. The area of farm is 1200 m2 and the short side is 30 m long. How much would the job cost?
Rs.700
Rs.1200
Rs.1400
Rs.1500
Explanation:

l $\times$ 30 = 1200 $\rightarrow$ l = 40

$\sqrt{40^2+30^2}$ = 50

40 + 30 + 50 = 120

120 $\times$ 10 = 1200

10917.The length of the rectangular field is double its width. Inside the field there is square shaped pond 8m long. If the area of the pond is 1/8 of the area of the field. What is the length of the field?
31 m
32 m
16 m
20 m
Explanation:

A/8 = 8 $\times$ 8 => A = 8 $\times$ 8 $\times$ 8

x $\times 2x$ = 8 $\times$ 8 $\times$ 8

x = 16 => 2x = 32

10918.The area of a square field 3136 sq m, if the length of cost of drawing barbed wire 3 m around the field at the rate of Rs.1.50 per meter. Two gates of 1 m width each are to be left for entrance. What is the total cost?
Rs.1014
Rs.1140
Rs.999
Rs.1085
Explanation:

$a^2$ = 3136 => a = 56

56 $\times$ 4 $\times$ 3 = 672 - 6 = 666 $\times$ 1.5 = 999

10919.The length of rectangle is thrice its breadth and its perimeter is 96 m, find the area of the rectangle?
432 sq m
356 sq m
452 sq m
428 sq m
Explanation:

$2\left(3x + x\right)$ = 96

l = 36 b = 12

lb = 36 $\times$ 12 = 432

10920.A rectangular grass field is 75 m $\times$ 55 m, it has a path of 2.5 m wide all round it on the outside. Find the area of the path and the cost of constructing it at Rs.2 per sq m?
675, Rs.1350
575, Rs.1350
1350, Rs.675
None
Explanation:

Area =$\left (l + b +2d\right)$ 2d

= (75 + 55 +2.5 $\times$ 2) 2$\times$2.5 => 675

675 $\times$ 2 = Rs.1350

10921.A rectangular lawn of dimensions 80 m $\times$ 60 m has two roads each 10 m wide running in the middle of the lawn, one parallel to the length and the other parallel to the breadth. What is the cost of traveling the two roads at Rs.3 per sq m?
Rs.3600
Rs.3700
Rs.3800
Rs.3900
Explanation:

Area = $\left(l + b - d\right)$ d

(80 + 60 - 10)10 => 1300 $m^2$

1300 $\times$ 3 = Rs.3900

10922.The length of a rectangle is increased by 25% and its breadth is decreased by 20%. What is the effect on its area?
Remains same
5% decrease
5% increase
10% increase
Explanation:

100 $\times$ 100 = 10000

125 $\times$ 80 = 10000

No change

10923.The side of a rhombus is 26 m and length of one of its diagonals is 20 m. The area of the rhombus is?
529 sq m
240 sq m
260 sq m
480 sq m
Explanation:

$26^2$ � $10^2$ = $24^2$

$d_{1}$ = 20 $d_{2}$ = 48

1/2 $\times$ 20 $\times$ 48 = 480

10924.The diagonals of a rhombus are 15 cm and 20 cm. Find its area?
120 sq m
300 sq m
150 sq m
480 sq m
Explanation:

1/2 $\times$ 15 $\times$ 20 = 150

260 $cm^2$
240 $cm^2$
280 $cm^2$
220 $cm^2$
Explanation:

4a = 68 => a = 17

172 - 82 = 152

1/2 $\times$ 16 $\times$ 30 = 240

52.65
56.25
50.75
42.75
Explanation:

a = 100 $a^2$ = 10000

a = 125 $a^2$ = 15625

----------------

10000 --------- 5625

100 -------? => 56.25 %

10928.The cross-section of a cannel is a trapezium in shape. If the cannel is 10 m wide at the top and 6 m wide at the bottom and the area of cross-section is 640 sq m, the depth of cannel is?
20 m
60 m
40 m
80 m
Explanation:

1/2 $\times$ d (10 + 6) = 640

d = 80

10929.The radius of a circle is increased by 1%. Find how much % does its area increases?
1.01%
5.01%
3.01%
2.01%
Explanation:

r = 100 r = 101

$r^2$ = 10000 $r^2$ = 10201

10000 ---- 201

100 ---- ? => 2.01%

120 sq m
150 sq m
110 sq m
300 sq m
Explanation:

1/2 $\times$ 20(9 + 6) = 150 $cm^2$

10931.Find the area of circle whose radius is 7m?
124 sq m
154 sq m

78 m
88 m
75 m
70 m
Explanation:

22/7 $r^2$ = 616 => r = 14

2 $\times$ 22/7 $\times$ 14 = 88
