b) $21\sqrt{2}m$

e) None of these

Radius of circular ground = $r = \frac{35}{2}=17.5$ m and width of broad garden = 1.4 m

=> Radius of outer circle (ground+garden), R = 17.5 + 1.4 = 18.9 m

Area of garden = Area of outer circle – Area of inner circle

= $\pi R^2-\pi r^2 = \pi(R-r)(R+r)$

= $\frac{22}{7}(18.9-17.5)(18.9+17.5)$

= $\frac{22}{7} \times 1.4 \times 36.4$

= $22 \times 0.2 \times 36.4 = 160.16$ $m^2$

=> Ans – (A)

Let the length of the plot be $l$ meters and breadth = $b$ meters

New length = $4l$ meters

Perimeter = $2(4l+b)=480$

=> $4l+b=\frac{480}{2}=240$

=> $b=240-4l$ ———(i)

Area = $(4l \times b)=12800$

=> $lb=\frac{12800}{4}=3200$

Substituting value of $b$ from equation (i)

=> $l(240-4l)=3200$

=> $240l-4l^2=3200$

=> $l^2-60l+800$

=> $l=\frac{-(-60) \pm \sqrt{(-60)^2-(4 \times 1 \times 800)}}{2}$

=> $l=\frac{60 \pm \sqrt{3600-3200}}{2} = \frac{60 \pm \sqrt{400}}{2}$

=> $l=\frac{60 \pm 20}{2}$

=> $l=\frac{60+20}{2},\frac{60-20}{2}$

=> $l=\frac{80}{2},\frac{40}{2}$

=> $l=40,20$ meters

=> Ans – (D)

Diameter of circle = side of square = $d$ cm

Area of square = $d^2$ sq. cm

Area of 1 quadrant = $\frac{1}{4} \times \pi \times (\frac{d}{2})^2$

= $\pi \times \frac{d^2}{16}$

=> Area of 4 quadrants = $4 \times \pi \times \frac{d^2}{16} = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}$ sq. cm

Area of shaded region = 168

=> $d^2 – \frac{\pi d^2}{4} = 168$

=> $\frac{1}{4} [d^2 (4 – \pi)] = 168$

=> $d^2 = \frac{168 \times 4}{4 – \pi} = \frac{168 \times 4}{4 – \frac{22}{7}}$

=> $d^2 = \frac{168 \times 4 \times 7}{28 – 22} = \frac{168}{6} \times 28$

=> $d = \sqrt{28 \times 28} = 28$ cm

$\therefore$ Radius = $\frac{28}{2} = 14$ cm

Let side of square plot = $s$ ft

=> Area = $s^2 = 361$

=> $s = \sqrt{361} = 19$ ft

Perimeter of square plot = $4 s = 4 \times 19 = 76$ ft

Cost of building fence per foot = Rs. 62

$\therefore$ Cost of building fence around the plot = $76 \times 62 = Rs. 4712$

Let the dimension of the room be $3x , 2x , x$ metres

Acc. to ques, => $3x + 2x + x = 18$

=> $x = \frac{18}{6} = 3$ metres

Curved surface area of the room = $2 h (l + b)$

= $2 \times x \times (3x + 2x) = 2x \times 5x$

= $10 (x)^2 = 10 \times (3)^2$

= $10 \times 9 = 90 m^2$

$\therefore$ Total cost incurred on painting only the four walls of the room = $15 \times 90$

= $Rs. 1,350$

Let the dimension of the room be $8x , 7x , 5x$ metres

Acc. to ques, => $8x + 7x + 5x = 24$

=> $x = \frac{24}{20} = 1.2$ metres

Curved surface area of the room = $2 h (l + b)$

= $2 \times 5x \times (8x + 7x) = 10x \times 15x$

= $150 (x)^2 = 150 \times (1.2)^2$

= $150 \times 1.44 = 216 m^2$

$\therefore$ Total cost incurred on painting only the four walls of the room = $12 \times 216$

= $Rs. 2,592$

Let the breadth of rectangle be $x$ cm

=> Length of rectangle = $(x + 3)$ cm

Now, perimeter = $2 (x + x + 3) = 50$

=> $2x + 3 = 25$

=> $x = \frac{22}{2} = 11$

Thus, breadth = 11 cm and length = 14 cm

$\because$ Area of circle = Area of rectangle

=> $\pi r^2 = 14 \times 11$

=> $r^2 = \frac{14 \times 11 \times 7}{22}$

=> $r = \sqrt{7 \times 7} = 7$ cm

$\therefore$ Diameter = 2 * 7 = 14 cm

Circumference of circle = 792 m

=> $2 \pi r = 792$

=> $r = \frac{792 \times 7}{22 \times 2}$

=> $r = 7 \times 18 = 126$ m

Perimeter of rectangle = 364 metre

=> $2 (l + b) = 364$

=> $l + 84 = \frac{364}{2} = 182$

=> $l = 182 – 84 = 98$ metre

$\therefore$ Radius of circular garden = 98 + 7 = 105 metre

Circumference of garden = $2 \pi r$

= $2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 105$

= $30 \times 22 = 660$ metre

$\therefore$ Cost of fencing = $660 \times 8$

= Rs. $5,280$

Perimeter of rectangular plot = $2 (l + b)$
$\therefore$ Diagonal = $\sqrt{2}$ * side
= $21\sqrt{2}$ metre
