Question : The area of a square is 144 cm2. What is the length of each of its diagonals?
Option 1: $14 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~cm}$
Option 2: $6 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~cm}$
Option 3: $12 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~cm}$
Option 4: $12 \mathrm{~cm}$
Correct Answer: $12 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~cm}$
Solution : According to the question, The area of the square is 144 cm2 ⇒ Area = (Side Length)2 = 144 cm2 ⇒ side = $\sqrt{144}$ = 12 cm ⇒ Length of diagonal = $\sqrt{2}$ × Side length = 12$\sqrt{2}$ Hence, the
Question : The pie chart given below shows the price of 6 different articles. The total price of all these 6 articles is 5040. The price of a particular article is shown in terms of degree concerning the total price of all these 6 articles. Which of the following statements is NOT correct? I. The total price of A1, A2, A4, and A6 is 2772. II. The difference between the total price of A3 and A5 together and the total price of A4 and A6 together is 488.
Option 1: Only I
Option 2: Both I and II
Option 3: Only II
Option 4: Neither I nor II
Correct Answer: Only II
Solution : The total price of A1, A2, A4, and A6 is 2772. $\frac{\text{Sum of degrees of A3 and A5}}{\text{Total degrees in the pie chart}}$ × Total price Total Price = 5040 ⇒ Price of A1 = $\frac{32}{360}$ × 5040 = 448 ⇒ Price of A2
