Answers & Solutions:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n

As we know, the triangle joining midpoints of sides will divide it in 4 similar traingles of equal area.<\/p>\n

So area will be = $\\frac{20}{4} = 5$<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to given dimensions, triangle will be a right angled triangle.
\nSo BC = 12
\nAnd area = $\\frac{1}{2} \\times 12 \\times 5$
\n= 30<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(A)<\/strong><\/p>\n

As we know angles of same sectors are equal
\nHence angle B and angle D will be equal. Angle BCE and angle EAD will be equal.
\nSo triangles BCE and EAD will be similar triangles with sides ratio as 12:24 or 1:2.
\nArea will be in ratio of 1:4.<\/p>\n

4)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(A)<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the given diagram AB=$\\sqrt{10}$ m<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/figure>\n

Given that PQRS is a square and the plank is placed symmetrically $\\triangle$BPA and $\\triangle$AQC will be isosceles right triangles.<\/p>\n

So PA=PB=$\\frac{\\sqrt{10}}{\\sqrt{2}}$=$\\sqrt{5}$ m<\/p>\n

PQ= PA+AQ<\/p>\n

AQ= PQ-PA=10-$\\sqrt{5}$ m<\/p>\n

We know that AQ=QC ($\\triangle$AQC is isosceles right triangle)<\/p>\n

So AC=$\\sqrt{2}$AQ=$\\sqrt{2}$*(10-$\\sqrt{5}$) m<\/p>\n

Now we can calculate area of plank<\/p>\n

Area of ABCD= AB*AC=\u00a0$\\sqrt{10}$*$\\sqrt{2}$(10-$\\sqrt{5}$)=10($\\sqrt{20}$-1) sq. mt<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(D)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The cylinder, hemisphere and cone stand on the same base and have the same height. Let the radius of the three solids be $r$ and the height be $h$.<\/p>\n

Height of the hemisphere, $h$ = $r$ (Radius)<\/p>\n

Curved surface area of the cylinder = $2*\\pi*r*r$ = $2*\\pi*r^2$
\nCurved surface area of the hemisphere = $2*\\pi*r^2$
\nCurved surface area of the cone = $\\pi*r*\\sqrt{r^2+r^2}$ = $\\pi*r*\\sqrt{r^2+r^2}$ = $\\pi*r^2*\\sqrt{2}$
\nRatio = $2:2:\\sqrt{2}$ = $\\sqrt{2}:\\sqrt{2}:1$
\nAs the answer is not among the given options, option D is the right answer.<\/p>\n

6)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is given that the radius of cylinder = 6 cm.\u00a0The rectangular solid with a square base is placed in the cylinder such that each of the corners of the solid is tangent to the cylinder wall.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the diagonal of square base =\u00a0the diameter of circular base<\/p>\n

Hence, a$\\sqrt{2}$ = 2*6 = 12 => a = $6\\sqrt{2}$ cm.<\/p>\n

The volume of water = Volume of the cylinder – Volume of the\u00a0rectangular solid<\/p>\n

$\\Rightarrow$ $\\pi*6^2*24$ – $(6\\sqrt{2})^2*20$<\/p>\n

$\\Rightarrow$ $864*\\pi – 1440$<\/p>\n

$\\Rightarrow$ $288(3\\pi – 5)$<\/p>\n

7)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is given that radius, R = 30 cm.<\/p>\n

Curved surface area, S= $4\\pi*R^2$<\/p>\n

$\\dfrac{dS}{dt}$ =\u00a0$4\\pi*(2R)*\\dfrac{dR}{dt}$<\/p>\n

It is given that $\\dfrac{dR}{dt}$ = 2.<\/p>\n

Hence,\u00a0$\\dfrac{dS}{dt}$ =\u00a0$4\\pi*(2*30)*2$ = $480\\pi$. Hence, option B is the correct answer.<\/p>\n

8)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Top face will look like the figure shown below.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Curved surface area of the cylinder = $2*\\pi*r*h$<\/p>\n

To calculate height of the cylinder in terms of ‘r’, we can see that $\\triangle$ADC is similar to $\\triangle$EFC.<\/p>\n

Therefore,<\/p>\n

$\\dfrac{AD}{DC}=\\dfrac{EF}{FC}$<\/p>\n

$\\Rightarrow$\u00a0$\\dfrac{10}{4} = \\dfrac{h}{4-r}$<\/p>\n

$\\Rightarrow$\u00a0$h = \\dfrac{5}{2}(4-r)$<\/p>\n

Therefore, the curved surface area of the cylinder =\u00a0$2*\\pi*r*\\dfrac{5}{2}(4-r)$ =\u00a0$5\u03c0r(4 – r)$.<\/p>\n

Hence, option B is the correct answer.<\/p>\n

9)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(E)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Radius of larger sphere = $R = 10$ cm<\/p>\n

Let radius of each of the smaller spheres = $r$ cm<\/p>\n

=> $\\frac{4}{3} \\pi R^3 = 1000 \\times \\frac{4}{3} \\pi r^3$<\/p>\n

=> $10^3 = 1000 r^3$<\/p>\n

=> $r = \\sqrt[3]{1} = 1$ cm<\/p>\n

Initial surface area of sphere = $4 \\pi R^2 = 4 \\pi \\times 100 = 400 \\pi$<\/p>\n

Final surface area of 1000 spheres = $1000 \\times 4 \\pi r^2 = 1000 \\times 4 \\pi = 4000 \\pi$<\/p>\n

$\\therefore$ Increase in surface area = $4000 \\pi – 400 \\pi = 3600 \\pi$<\/p>\n

=> $\\frac{3600 \\pi}{400 \\pi} = 9$ times<\/p>\n

10)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(D)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Length of the diagonal of the right triangle is 40.<\/p>\n

The height of the isosceles triangle formed, with 40 as its base is 15.
\nSo, area = (1\/2 * 32 * 24) + (1\/2 * 40 * 15) = 384 + 300 = 684 $m^2$<\/p>\n
