Original area = π(d/2)2
= (πd2) / 4
New area = π(2d/2)2
= πd2
Increase in area = (πd2 - πd2/4)
= 3πd2/4Correct Option: C
Original area = π(d/2)2
= (πd2) / 4
New area = π(2d/2)2
= πd2
Increase in area = (πd2 - πd2/4)
= 3πd2/4
∴ Required increase percent
= [(3πd2)/4 x 4/(πd2) x 100]%
= 300%

Let the diagonal of one square be (2d) cm
Then, diagonal of another square = d cm
∴ Area of first square = [ 1/2 x (2d)2] cm2
Area of second square = (1/2 x d2) cm2Correct Option: D
Let the diagonal of one square be (2d) cm
Then, diagonal of another square = d cm
∴ Area of first square = [ 1/2 x (2d)2] cm2
Area of second square = (1/2 x d2) cm2
∴ Ratio of area = (2d)2/ d2
= 4/1 = 4: 1
- A park of 10 meters long and 8 meters broad. What is the length of the longest pole that can be placed in the park ?
-
View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum
Length of the longest pole = √ [(10)2 + (8)2] m
Correct Option: B
Length of the longest pole = √ [(10)2 + (8)2] m
= √ 164 m
= 12.8 m
- The length of a rectangle is twice its breadth. If its length is decreased by 5 cm and the breadth is increased by 5 cm, the area of the rectangle is increased by 75 cm2 . Therefore , the length of the rectangle is ?

Let breadth = b, length = 2b
∴ Area of rectangle = 2b x b
= 2b2
As per question.
∵ (2b - 5 ) (b + 5 ) = 2b2 + 75
⇒ 5b = 75 + 25
⇒ 5b = 100
∴ b = 100 / 5 = 20Correct Option: C
Let breadth = b, length = 2b
∴ Area of rectangle = 2b x b
= 2b2
As per question.
∵ (2b - 5 ) (b + 5 ) = 2b2 + 75
⇒ 5b = 75 + 25
⇒ 5b = 100
∴ b = 100 / 5 = 20
Hence, length of the rectangle =2b
= 2 x 20
= 40 cm.

Area = 1/2 x (Diagonal)2
Correct Option: B
Area = 1/2 x (Diagonal)2
= (1/2) x 5.2 x 5.2 cm2
= 13.52 cm2
