Question : A field is in the form of a circle. The cost of fencing around it at INR 12 per metre is INR 2,640. What is the area (in m2) of the field? (Take $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$)
Option 1: 1,925 m2
Option 2: 3,850 m2
Option 3: 2,772 m2
Option 4: 5,544 m2
Correct Answer: 3,850 m2
Solution : Given: A field is in the form of a circle. Use the formulas, The perimeter of the circle = $2\pi r$, The area of the circle = $\pi r^2$, where $r$ is the radius. The cost of fencing around it at INR 12
Question : Directions: Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series? $18,6,2, ?, \frac{2}{9}$
Option 1: $\frac{1}{3}$
Option 2: $\frac{1}{9}$
Option 3: $\frac{2}{3}$
Option 4: 1
Correct Answer: $\frac{2}{3}$
Solution : Given: $18,6,2, ?, \frac{2}{9}$
Multiply the previous term by $\frac{1}{3}$ to obtain the next term. $18×\frac{1}{3}=6;6×\frac{1}{3}=2;2×\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{3};\frac{2}{3}×\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{9}$
So, $\frac{2}{3}$ is the missing term in the given series. Hence, the third option is correct.
Question : If the sum of the diagonals of a rhombus is $L$ and the perimeter is $4P$, find the area of the rhombus.
Option 1: $\frac{1}{4}\left(\mathrm{~L}^2-\mathrm{P}^2\right)$
Option 2: $\frac{1}{4}\left(\mathrm{~L}^2-4 \mathrm{P}^2\right)$
Option 3: $\frac{1}{2}\left(\mathrm{~L}^2-4 \mathrm{P}^2\right)$
Option 4: $\frac{1}{4}\left(\mathrm{~L}^2+3 \mathrm{P}^2\right)$
Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{4}\left(\mathrm{~L}^2-4 \mathrm{P}^2\right)$
Solution : Given: The sum of the diagonals of a rhombus is $L$. Perimeter = $4P$ ⇒ Sides = $\frac{4P}{4}$ = $P$ Now, the sum of the diagonals = $L$ Let one of the diagonal be $d_1$ and another diagonal be $d_2$. ⇒ $(\frac{d_1}{2})^2 + (\frac{d_2}{2})^2
