Two concentric circles form a ring. The inner
and outer circumference of the ring are
352/7 m and 528/7m respectively. Find the
width of the ring.
Solution:
Formula of circumference = 2 Pi * radius
2 * 22/7 * radius = 352/7
radius = 8
Formula of circumference = 2 Pi * radius
2 * 22/7 * radius = 528/7
radius = 12
thus width of ring = 12-8 = 4 answer
Four circular cardboard pieces, each of radius 7cm
are placed in such a way that each piece touches two
other pieces. The area of the space encosed by the
four pieces is
Solution :
area of one circle = (22/7) * 7 * 7 =154
square of on one circle = 14*14 = 196
difference of area : 42
one side 42/4 =10.5
we have 4 cirlces, each has 10.5 cm of space enclosed, so
total space enclosed is 42 sq. cm. Answer
A semicircular shaped window
has diameter of 63cm. Its
perimeter equals
Circumference of circle = diameter * 22/7

= 63 * 22/7 = 198

280/5 = 56
so we will need 56 poles
The length of a rectangular plot is 20
meters more than its breadth. If the cost
of fencing the plot @ 26.50 per meter is
Rs. 5300. What is the length of the plot in
meter?
Total fencing = 5300/26.5 = 200

2(L+B) = 200
2(B+20+B) = 200
2B+20=100 or B=40 and L=60
so length is 60 meters answer
A rectangular field is to be fenced on three sides
leaving a side of 20 feet uncovered.
If the area of the field is 680 sq feet, how many feet of
fencing will be required?
Length = X bredth = 20

boundary =2(34+20)=108
but we will not cover one side =108-20=88
feet. Answer
A rectangular paper when folded into two congruent parts had
a perimeter of 34cm for each part folded along one set of sides
and the same is 38cm. When folded along the other set of
sides. What is the area of the paper?
When we fold from mid of length

= L+2B=34
When we fold from mid of width
= 2L+B=38
add them = 3L+3B=72
L+B=24, where L =14, B=10
so area of paper =14*10 =140 answer
A took 15 seconds to cross a rectangular field diagonally
walking at the rate of 52 m/min and B took the same time
to cross the same field along its sides walking at the rate
of 68m/min. The area of the field is?
Diagonal = 52*15/60=13
½ of perimeter=68*15/60=17
X+Y=17 -- 1st
X^2+Y^2 =169 -- 2nd
square of 1st equation:X^2+Y^2+2XY=289
2XY=120 or XY =60
thus area of field is 60 sq.meter.
The cost of fencing a square field @ Rs. 20 per metre
is Rs.10.080.How much will it cost to lay a three
meter wide pavement along the fencing inside the
field @ Rs. 50 per sq m
Boundary = 10.08/.20 = 50.4

one side is 12.6 area : 158.76
area without pavement : (12.6-6)^2= 43.56
pavement = 115.2
cost = 115.2*.5 = Rs. 57.6 answer
Aman walked diagonally across a square plot.
Approximately what was the percent
saved by not walking along the edges?
Let us assume that the side of square is 1. had

he walked along edges, he would have
travelled 2. he walked on diagonal so he
walked sqrt(2) = 1.41
thus he has saved (2-1.41) =.59
or we can say that he has saved 29.5% answer
.A man walking at the speed of 4
km p.h. crosses a square field
diagonally in 30 minutes.
The area of the field is

An error of 2% in excess is made while
measuring the side of a square. The
percentage of error in the calculated area
of the square is
Instead of 100, we have taken 102

new area : 102*102 = 10404
so error in calculated area is : (10404-10000) =
404 / 10000 * 100
or 4.04% answer
The base of a triangle of 15cm and height
is 12cm. The height of another triangle of
double the area having the base 20cm is
Area of first triangle = ½ 12*15 =90

nd

1/2*20*x=180
X = 18
Height of another traingle is 18 cm.
The sides of a triangle are in the ratio of
½:1/3:1/4. If the perimeter is 52cm,
then the length of the smallest side is
½ : 1/3 : ¼ can also be written as : 6:4:3

or the length of longest side is : 6/13*52 = 24
the other two sides are : 16 and 12 cm
respectively. Answer

increased by 5cm, the area of the rectangle is
increased by 75 sq cm. Find the length of
the rectangle.
(2x*x) - ( ( 2x-5)*(x+5) ) = -75

2x^2 -(2x^2-25+5x) =-75
-5x=100 or X=20
length = 40, width = 20 answer
In measuring the sides of a rectangle, one side
is taken 5% in excess and the other 4% in
deficit. Find the error percent
in the area, calculate from the those
measurements.
Let us assume length = 200, width = 100 total

area : 20000
measurement = 210*96 = 20160
thus there is 160/20000 *100 = .8% variation
(increase)
If each side of a square is
increased by 25%, find the
percentage change in its area?
Let us assume present area = 100 * 100 =

so change in area : 5625 or 56.25%
Find the ratio of the areas of the
incircle and circumcircle of
a square.
The ratio of diameter of incircle and

circumcircle is 1:sqrt(2)
thus the area (which is in square of radius) will
be in ratio : 1 : 2 answer.
If the radius of a circle is
decreased by 50% , find the
percentage decrease in its area.
The area will decrease to square of .5 = .25 so

the resulting area will be .75 of the old area or
there is 75% decrease in the area. Answer

T seems to be youngest, so let us start with T.

V=T+2, H = T+4, N = T+4, M=T+5
Now let us add their age :
T+T+2+T+4+T+4+T+5 = 100
5T+15=100, or 5T=85 or T=17
the age of M = 17+5 = 22 answer
