Question: 26 -

If the side of a square is equal to the diameter of a circle, what is the area of the square if the area of the circle is 81π sq. cm?

Options:
  1. 384 

  2. 324 

  3. 350 

  4. 456 

  5. Answer:

    324 

    Solution:

    Area of the circle = 81π sq. cm.

                                      π × radius2 = 81π

                                      Radius = 9 cm

    Diameter of circle = 9 *2= 18 cm

    Now, Diameter of circle = Side of the square = 18 cm

    So, Area of the square = Side2 = 182 = 324 sq. cm.


Question: 27 -

What is the area of the largest circle that can be drawn inside a square of side 20 cm?

Options:
  1. 95 π

  2. 90 π

  3. 100 π

  4. 110 π

  5. Answer:

    100 π

    Solution:

    The diameter of the largest circle that can be drawn inside a square = length of the side of the square

    As per the question: The side of the square = 20 cm.

    So, radius of the circle = 20/2 = 10 cm

    Area of a circle = π × radius2

    The area of the largest circle = π × 102 = 100 π cm2


Question: 28 -

The diameter of a circle is increased by 100%. What is the percentage increase in area?

Options:
  1. 400 

  2. 200 

  3. 300 

  4. 250 

  5. Answer:

    300 

    Solution:

    Let the diameter = d

    Original area = π * (d/2) 2 = π d2/4

    New Area = π * (2d/2) 2

                      = π (2d/2) (2d/2)

                      = π d2

    Increase in area = (π d2 - π d2/4) = 3 π d2 / 4

    Percentage increase = (increase in area/ original area) * 100

                                    = (3 π d2 / 4) * (4/ π d2) * 100

                                    = 300 %


Question: 29 -

The perimeter of a circle and an equilateral triangle are equal. Find the area of the equilateral triangle if the area of the circle is 141π.

Options:
  1. 271.34

  2. 261.34

  3. 281.34

  4. 251.34

  5. Answer:

    271.34

    Solution:

    The perimeter of a circle and an equilateral triangle are equal:

    Let the length of each side of equilateral triangle = A

    As per the questions, the perimeters are equal.

    So, 2 π r = 3 A

    Area of circle is given = 141 π

    So, π r2 = 144 π

    r = 12

    Thus, 2 π * 12 = 3 A

    A = 24 π /3

    The area of a equilateral triangle = (√3/4) * side2

    = (√3/4) * (24 π /3) 2

    = (√3/4) * 8 π * 8 π

    = 0.43 * 25.12 * 25.12

    = 271.34 sq. cm.


Question: 30 -

One of the four angles of a rhombus is 90 degrees. If each side of the rhombus is 20 cm, what will be the length of the longer diagonal?

Options:
  1. 20 √2

  2. 26 √2

  3. 30 √2

  4. 25 √2

  5. Answer:

    20 √2

    Solution:

    A rhombus with one of its angle 90 degrees is a square. So, both the diagonals are of equal length.

    Now, Diagonal of a square= √2 × side

    Given Side = 20 cm

    So, Diagonal = 20 √2 cm
