21. The cost of painting a circular surface at the rate of Rs. 1.5 per m² is Rs. 924. Find the cost of fencing a square lawn with a wire costing Rs. 2.5 per metre given that the length of each side of the lawn is equal to diameter of that painted circular surface.

Correct Answer: (b) Rs. 280
Solution:

Area of the circular surface = (924/1.5) = 616 m²
Let the radius of the painted shape be ‘r’ metres

Therefore,
(22/7) × r × r = 616
r² = (616 × 7)/22 = 196
r = √196 = 14 (Since, radius cannot be negative)

Diameter of the circular surface = 2 × 14 = 28 metres

Length of each side of the square lawn = 28 metres

Perimeter of the square lawn = 28 × 4 = 112 metres

Cost of fencing the lawn = 112 × 2.5 = Rs. 280

22. The base area of a right circular cylinder is 1386 cm². If the height of the cylinder is 10 cm, then what is the curved surface area of the cylinder?

Correct Answer: (c) 1320 cm²
Solution:

Base area of the cylinder = π × radius² = (22/7) × radius² = 1386
So, radius² = 1386 ÷ 22 × 7 = 441
So, radius = √441 = 21 cm

Curved surface area of the cylinder = 2 × π × radius × height
= 2 × (22/7) × 21 × 10 = 1320 cm²

23. Perimeter and area of a rectangular sheet are 34 metres and 70 m². Find the difference between the length and breadth of the rectangle.

Correct Answer: (d) 3 metres
Solution:

Let the length and breadth of the rectangular sheet be ‘l’ metres and ‘b’ metres, respectively.

According to question:
2 × (l + b) = 34
(l + b) = 17 … (i)

And, (l × b) = 70 … (ii)

After solving equation (i) and (ii), we get
(l + b)² = (l − b)² + 4lb

(17)² = (l − b)² + (4 × 70)
289 − 280 = (l − b)²
(l − b)² = 9

So, (l − b) = 3 … (iii)
(Since, length is greater than breadth)

Hence, option d.

24. In a locality, there is a circular park having circumference of 66 metres. A path of uniform width of 3.5 metres is made around the park along the circumference. Find the area of the path.

Correct Answer: (a) 269.5 m²
Solution:

Let the radius of the circular park be ‘r’ metres

Circumference of a circle = 2 × π × r, where ‘r’ = radius of the circle

ATQ:
66 = 2 × (22/7) × r
44r = 7 × 66
r = 10.5

Area of the circular park excluding the path = (22/7) × 10.5 × 10.5 = (693/2) m²

Radius of the circular park including the path = 10.5 + 3.5 = 14 m

Area of the circular park including the path = (22/7) × 14 × 14 = 616 m²

Area of the path = Area of the circular park including the path − Area of the circular park
Area of the path = 616 − (693/2) = 269.5 m²

25. Area and perimeter of the rectangular floor of a room is 180 m² and 54 metres, respectively. Find the area of four walls of the room if the height of the room is 20% more than the length of the room.

Correct Answer: (a) 972 m²
Solution:

Let the length, breadth and height of the room be ‘l’ metres, ‘b’ metres and ‘h’ metres, respectively.

According to question:
54 = 2 × (l + b)
Or, (l + b) = 27 … (eq. i)

And, (l × b) = 180

Now, (l + b)² = (l − b)² + 4lb

So, (27)² = (l − b)² + 4 × 180
729 − 720 = (l − b)²
(l − b)² = 9

So, (l − b) = 3 … (eq. ii)

Adding equation (i) and (ii), we get
l = 15 And, b = 27 − 15 = 12

So, h = 15 + 15 × 0.2 = 18

Area of four walls of the room = 2 × (l + b) × h
= (54 × 18) = 972 m²

26. Find the volume of the smallest cube that can perfectly fit a sphere of volume 2304π cm³ inside it

Correct Answer: (b) 13,824 cm³
Solution:

Let the radius of the sphere be ‘R’ cm.

2304π = (4/3) × π × R³
1728 = R³

So, R = 12

So, length of edge of the cube = 12 × 2 = 24 cm
Required volume = 24³ = 13824 cm

27. The area of a rectangle is 192 cm². If the breadth of the rectangle is 12 cm, then length of its diagonals is how much percent more than its length?

Correct Answer: (b) 25%
Solution:

Let the length of the rectangle be ‘L’ cm.

Area of rectangle = Length × breadth
192 = L × 12
L = 16

Length of diagonal of rectangle = √(L² + B²)
So, length of the diagonal = √(12² + 16²) = 20 cm

Required percentage = (20 − 16)/16 × 100 = 25%

28. A race track is in the shape of a rectangle with length of 75 metres and area of 4500 m². A car takes 10 seconds to make one lap around the perimeter of this track. If the car and a person whose speed is 5 m/s, started moving at the same time along the perimeter of the track but in opposite directions, then find the distance between the car and the person, 2 seconds before they cross each other.

Correct Answer: (e) 64 metres
Solution:

Area of the track = length of track × breadth of track
= 75 × breadth of track = 4500

So, breadth of track = 4500 ÷ 75 = 60

So, perimeter of the track = (75 + 60) × 2 = 270 metres

So, speed of the car = (270/10) = 27 m/s

Relative speed of the car with respect to the person = 27 + 5 = 32 m/s

So, distance between the car and the person, 2 seconds before they cross each other = 32 × 2 = 64 metres

Hence, option e.

29. A hollow iron box is in the shape of a cuboid with length 15 metres, breadth 10 metres and volume of 1800 m³. If the entire outer surface of the box is to be painted, then find the total cost of painting given that cost of painting is Rs. 6 per m².

Correct Answer: (b) Rs. 5,400
Solution:

Height of the box = 1800 ÷ (15 × 10) = 12 metres

Total surface area of the box = 2 × {(length × breadth) + (breadth × height) + (length × height)}
= 2 × {(15 × 10) + (10 × 12) + (15 × 12)}
= 2 × {(150 + 120 + 180)} = 2 × 450 = 900 m²

So, total cost of painting the box = 900 × 6 = Rs. 5,400

30. The total area of a circle and rectangle is 2058 Sq cm. The radius of the circle is 21 cm. Find the perimeter of the rectangle, if breadth of the rectangle is 24 cm?

Correct Answer: (c) 104 cm
Solution:

πr² + lb = 2058
(22/7) × 21 × 21 + l × 24 = 2058
1386 + 24l = 2058
24l = 2058 − 1386
24l = 672, l = 28 cm

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 × (l + b) = 2 × (28 + 24)
2 × 52 = 104 cm
