Instructions
For the following questions answer them individually

Question 1

Length and breadth of a rectangle are increased by 40% and 70% respectively. What will be the percentage increase in the area of
rectangle?

A 118

B 110

C 138

D 128

Answer: C

Explanation:
Let length and breadth of rectangle initially be 10 units
=> Area, A = 10 × 10 = 100 sq.units
40
Length is increased by 40%, => New length = 10 + ( 100 × 10) = 14 units
70
Similarly, new breadth = 10 + ( 100 × 10) = 17 units
=> New area, A′ = 14 × 17 = 238 sq.units
(238−100)
∴ % increase in area = 100 × 100 = 138%
=> Ans - (C)

Question 2

The perimeter of a square is 40 cm, find its area?

A 100 sq cm

B 25 sq cm

C 50 sq cm

D 160 sq cm

Answer: A

Explanation:
Let side of square = s cm
Perimeter of square = 4 × s = 40
40
=> s = 4 = 10 cm
∴ Area of square = (s)2
= (10)2 = 100cm2
=> Ans - (A)

Question 3

The circumference of a circle is 88 cm, find its area?

A 616 sq cm

B 308 sq cm

Downloaded from cracku.in

C 154 sq cm

D 77 sq cm

Answer: A

Explanation:
Let the radius of circle = r cm
Circumference of circle = 2πr = 88
22
=> 2 × 7 × r = 88
88×7
=> r = 44 = 14 cm
∴ Area of circle = πr2
22
= 7 × (14)2
= 22 × 2 × 14 = 616cm2
=> Ans - (A)

Question 4

The total surface area of a hemisphere is 166.32 sq cm, find its curved surface area?

A 221.76 sq cm

B 36.96 sq cm

C 110.88 sq cm

D 55.44 sq cm

Answer: C

Explanation:
Let radius of hemisphere = r cm
Total surface area of hemisphere = 3πr2 = 166.32 ------------(i)
2
Multiplying equation (i) by 3
2 2
=> 3 × 3πr2 = 3 × 166.32
=> Curved Surface area of hemisphere = 2πr2 = 2 × 55.44 = 110.88cm2
=> Ans - (C)

Question 5

If G is the centroid of triangle ABC and area of triangle ABC = 48cm 2, then the area of triangle BGC is

A 8 cm2

B 16 cm 2

C 24 cm 2

D 32 cm 2

Answer: B

Explanation:

 1
As we know area of triangle, with centroid as one of the vertices and remaining 2 triangle vertices, is 3 rd of the area of whole triangle.
48
Hence area will be 3 = 16

Question 6

In △ PQR, the line drawn from the vertex P intersects QR at a point S. If QR = 4.5 cm and SR = 1.5 cm then the ratios of the area of
triangle PQS and triangle PSR is

A 4:1

B 3:1

C 3:2

D 2:1

Answer: D

Explanation:
NOTE :- The ratio of area of two triangles on same base is equal to the ratio of two corresponding sides of the two triangles.

Given : QR = 4.5 cm and SR = 1.5 cm

=> QS = QR - SR = 4.5-1.5 = 3 cm

Since, the two triangles PQS and PSR have same base PS
area(△PQS) QS
=> area(△PSR) = SR

3
= 1.5 = 2 : 1

Question 7

If G is the centroid and AD, BE, CF are three medians of triangle ABC with area 72 sq cm , then the area of triangle BDG is :

A 12 sq cm

B 16 sq cm

C 24 sq cm

D 8 sq cm

Answer: A

Explanation:
The area of triangle formed by any two vertices and centroid is (1/3) times the area of ABC.
Also the median divides the triangle into two equal areas.
So, area of BDG = (1/6) times of ABC
= (1/6)*72
=12

Question 8

The three medians AD, BE and CF of triangle ABC intersect at point G. If the area of triangle ABC is 60 sq.cm. then the area of the
quadrilateral BDGF is :

A 10 sq.cm

B 15 sq.cm

C 20 sq.cm

D 30 sq.cm

Answer: C

Explanation:
Given ∆ABC, G is the centroid and AD,BE, CF are three medians and the area of ∆AGE = 10
As we know the median divides the triangle into 6 triangles of equal area
Hence area of the quadrilateral BDGF = 2*∆AGE = 2*10
area of the quadrilateral BDGF = 20

Question 9

In triangle ABC, AD, BE and CF are the medians intersecting at point G and area of triangle ABC is 156 cm2. What is the area (incm2 )
of triangle FGE?

A 13

B 26

C 39

D 52

Answer: A

Explanation:

Medians of a triangle divides the triangle into 6 parts of equal areas.

Also, ar(△ ABC) = 156

156
=> ar(△ AFG) = ar(△ FBG) = ar(△ BGD) = ar( △ DGC) = ar(△ CGE) = ar( △ EGA) = 6 = 26 cm2
=> ar(AFGE) = ar(△ AFG) + ar( △ EAG)

= 26 + 26 = 52 cm2
1
∴ ar(△ FGE) = 4 × ar(AFGE)
52
= 4 = 13 cm2
=> Ans - (A)

Question 10

The tangents drawn at points A and B of a circle with centre O, meet at P. If ∠AOB = 120° and AP = 6 cm, then what is the area of
triangle (in cm2 ) APB?

A 6 3

B 8 3

C 9

D 9 3
Answer: D

Explanation:

Given : ∠AOB = 120° and AP = 6 cm and ∠ OAP = 90°

To find : ar(△ APB) = ?
1 120
Solution : ∠ AOP = 2 ∠ AOB = 2 = 60∘
In △ AOP,
AP
=> tan(∠AOP ) = OA
6
=> tan(60∘ ) = OA
6
=> 3= OA
6
=> OA = 3 = 2 3 cm
1
Thus, area of △ AOP = 2 × (OA) × (AP )
1
2 × (2 3) × (6) = 6 3 cm2 -------------(i)
Now, in △ AOM
AM
=> sin(∠AOM) = OA
AM
=> sin(60∘ ) = 2 3

3 AM
=> 2 = 2 3

=> AM = 3 cm
Similarly, OM = 3 cm
1
Thus, area of △ AOM = 2 × (OM) × (AM)
1
2 × ( 3) × (3) = 1.5 3 cm2 -------------(ii)

Downloaded from cracku.in

=> ar(△AMP ) = ar(△AOP ) − ar(△AOM)
=6 3 − 1.5 3 = 4.5 3 cm2
∴ ar(△AP B) = 2ar(△AMP )
= 2 × 4.5 3 = 9 3 cm2
=> Ans - (D)
