A kite in the shape of a square with a diagonal 32 cm attached to an equilateral triangle of the base 8 cm. Approximately how much paper has been used to make it? (Use√3 = 1.732)

(1) 539.712 cm2 (2) 538.721 em2 (3) 540.712 em2 (4) 539.217 cm2 Solution: Area of paper=Area of square +Area of equilateral triangle =1/2 (diagonal)2+ √3/4*(side)2 =1/2*32*32+√3/4*8*8 = 512 + 16 * 1.732 = 512 + 27.712 = 539.712 cm2 (Note: Diagonal of a square =√2 side) Then the option is (1) 539.712 cm2

800 chocolates were distributed among the students of a class. East student got twice as many chocolates as the number of students in the class. The number of students in the class was :

(1) 25 (2) 30 (3) 35 (4) 20 Solution: Let the number of students be n. So, each of n students got 2n chocolates Total no. of chocolates = (2n)*n = 800 ⇒ 2n2 =800 ⇒ n2=400 ⇒ n=20 Then the option is (4)

The ratio of number of boys to that of girls in a group becomes 2: 1when 15girls leave. But. afterwards, when 45 boys also leave, the ratio becomes 1 : 5. Originally the number of girls in the group was

(1) 20 (2)30 (3)40 (4)50 Solution: Let the original number of boys and girls be x and y respectively. Then x/y-15=2/1 ⇒ x = 2y – 30    ……….(i) Again, x-45/y-15=1/5 ⇒ 5x-225=y-15 ⇒ 5x= y-15+225 ⇒ 5(2y-30) = y+210 [From equation (i)) ⇒ 10y-150=y+210 ⇒ 10y-y=210+150 ⇒ 9y = 360 ⇒ y=360/9 = 40

The length of a rectangle is less than twice its breadth by 1 cm. The length of its diagonal is 17 cm. Find its length and breadth A. 15 cm,8cmB. 13 cm,4 cm C. 10 cm, 6cmD. 8 cm, 9 cm

Solution L = 2B – 1, Diagonal = 17. D² = L²+ B²⇒ 289 = (2B –1)² + B²⇒ B = 8 & L = 15.Also 8, 15, 17 is a Pythagorean triplet.So answer can be reached directly.

Mohan rao took 10 days to finish a book, reading 40 pages every day. How many pages must he read in a day to finish it in 8 days?

Solution Let us suppose Mohan rao will have to read x pages every day to finish the book in 8 days.As the number of days decreases, the number of pages increases.So, the number of days and number of pages are in inverse proportion.∴ 10 × 40 = 8 × xx=400/8⇒ x = 50 pagesHence, Mohan
