Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (D)
The ratio of the sides of the triangle is 3:4:5 and the perimeter is 48 cm, so the sides are 12 cm, 16 cm and 20 cm. There are two ways to find the area of the triangle.
The triangle is a right-angled triangle because $12^2 + 16^2 = 20^2$.
So, the area is given by ½ * 12 * 16 = 96 $cm^2$.
Since the sides of the triangle are known, the area can also be found out by applying the formula A = $\sqrt{s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c)}$, where ‘s’ is the semi-perimeter of the triangle given by s = (a+b+c)/2 and ‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’ are the sides of the triangle.
Here, s = (12 + 16 + 20)/2 = 24 cm
Area = $\sqrt{24 * (24 – 12) * (24 – 16) * (24 – 20)}$ = $\sqrt{24 * 12 * 8 * 4}$ = 12 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 12 * 8 = 96 $cm^2$
2) Answer (B)
Let the sides of the rectangle be 2k and k. So, area = $2k^2$
Perimeter of the rectangle = 6k
So, side of the square = 6k/4 = 1.5k
Area of the square = $(1.5k)^2$ = $2.25k^2$
So, required ratio = 2 : 2.25 = 8 : 9
3) Answer (B)
Since one angle of the parallelogram is 120 degrees, the other angle is 60 degrees.
From the figure, the required percentage = (1 – Area of the triangle/Area of the rectangle) * 100%
Tan 60 = $\sqrt3$ = 3k/x => x = $\sqrt3$k
So, required percentage = (1 – ½ * $\sqrt3$k * 3k/[3k * 4k]) * 100% = $(8-\sqrt3)/8$ * 100% = 78.3% = 78% approximately
4) Answer (C)
The area of the triangle is given by ½ * base * height.
If the base is BC, then the height is AD. If the base is AB, the height is the altitude drawn from vertex C on AB.
So, area = ½ * BC * AD = ½ * AB * CE
=> CE = BC * AD/AB = 5 * 14/3 = 70/3 = 23.33 cm
5) Answer (A)
Let the side of the square be ‘s’. Perimeter = 4s, Area = $s^2$
New perimeter = 120/100 * 4s = 24/5 s = 4.8s
So, new side = 4.8s/4 = 1.2s
So, new area = $(1.2s)^2$ = $1.44s^2$
So, percentage increase in area = (1.44 – 1)/1 * 100% = 44%
6) Answer (B)
Tan 90 is undefined and Tan 89 is positive.
So, as angle is increased from 89 to 90, tan $ \theta $ tends to positive infinity.
7) Answer (A)
sin 30 = 1/2
sin 60 = $ \sqrt{3}/2$
So $ (\frac {1}{2})^ {2} + (\frac {\sqrt{3}}{2})^ {2} $ = 1
8) Answer (C)
If the given two sides are a and b, then the second angle can be between the a and the third side or b and the third side.
Hence, 2 triangles can be drawn using the given measurements.
9) Answer (D)
By cutting a portion of the cone parallel to its base at the top, a frustum is formed.
The first and second figures are top view and side view of a frustum.
10) Answer (B)
In a three dimensional space, three axes exist – X, Y and Z.
11) Answer (C)
Distance between (-4,3) and (0,0) = $\sqrt{(0+4)^2+(0-3)^2}$ = $\sqrt{25}$ = 5
12) Answer (B)
If the tangents are parallel to each other, the distance between them is equal to its diameter.
13) Answer (D)
There are 3 hidden cubes in the first row and 1 hidden cube in the second row. So, in total there are 3 + 3 + 3 + 1 = 10 cubes.
14) Answer (A)
The length and breadth are in the ratio 3:4
Let them be 3x and 4x respectively.
Perimeter = 56
So, 2(7x) = 56
So, x = 4
Area = 3x * 4x = 3*4*4*4 = 192 sq cms
15) Answer (B)
The cost of the board = 4x3x12= 144
Cost of the aluminium lining = (4+4+3+3)x4 = 56
So total cost = 200 Rs
Selling price = 200 x 1.25 = 250 Rs
