Let JO=A, KO=B, LO=C and MO=D. We get the areas as JOK=0.5(A.B)=10,
KOL=0.5(B.C)=20, JOM=0.5(D.A)=12 and MOL=0.5(C.D).from these we can find out the

∆ARB and ∆RPQ are similar =>angle PRQ =angle ARB=180-(ang RAB + ang RBA). Let
angle RAC=x, angle PRQ=180-2x and (ang RAB + ang RBA)=180-3x =>x=36⁰
11. D.15
Exterior angle= 180-Interior angle =24⁰

Also, Exterior angle=360/n
Hence, n=360/24=15

If we drop a perpendicular from Q to BC to a pt say E, then QE will half of AD (12) as
∆ACD and ∆QCE are similar. Therefore, ED is half of DC. Which gives PE=0.5BC=9 as P is
mid pt of BD. Thus, PQ can be obtained using Pythagoras theorem.
14. C.168
Sum of interior angles of an octagon is 1080. If 3 are angles 80⁰ and the rest angles are

angle ABX=180-60=120 =>angle BAX = angle BXA=30, since XY=XZ, angle BXA= angle

BXV=30 =>angle YXZ =60 also XYZ = XZY =60= angle VCZ as ∆CVZ and ∆XYZ are similar.
Now by exterior angle theorem we get angle XVC=120

The median on the base of the isosceles triangle will be perpendicular to the base and
the median is divided by the centroid into a ratio of 2:1. Thus, by using Pythagoras
theorem on the right angled triangle formed at the base by the lower part of the
medians the area is calculated.

Taking the cube root of 343 we get the side of the cube as 7 units. Therefore, the
surface area of this will be 294sq.units. It takes 49 minutes to paint the outer surface of
a cube, so it takes 10sec to paint 1sq.unit.This cube is cut into 343 smaller identical
cubes, only possible combination of 4 cubes having an integer as side is 1,1,5 and 6.
Now, calculate the total surface areas of these cubes and then divide it by the rate of
painting to obtain the answer.
32. B.108
Let the length and breadth of the rectangle be ‘l’ cm and ‘b’ cm respectively.
Therefore, 2(l + b) = 42
Therefore, l + b = 21
Now, l and b have to be multiples of three for the rectangle to be divided into squares
with side 3 cm.
Therefore, all possible pairs of l and b (in no particular order) are (18, 3), (15, 6) and (12,
9).
Therefore, the maximum possible area is 12 × 9 = 108 cm2.
33. A.25
Volume of the original cone= 413952.
Volume of the cut out portion of the cube =51744.
Volume of the hemispherical portion =155232.
The change in volume =155232-51744=103488.
103488 is 25% of 413952.

AD=2r as it equal to the diameter of the circle. Now, perimeter=AC+BE+2AB, as angle

B=45⁰ AB=√2BD and BE=AC+2BD. Perimeter = AC+AC+2BD+2√2BD=2AC+2BD(1+√2).
Now for BD: AD=BD, as angle B=45⁰, BD=2r.
Now for AC: AC=(4r)+2OF; AO=R, angle OAF=(135/2)-45=22.5⁰ . OF=AO.sin(22.5)=0.38r.
therefore, Perimeter=2(4r+0.76r)+4r(1+√2)=19.176r

As the incentre and the circumcentre are located at a common pt the triangle is an
equilateral triangle. Hence, the radius of the incircle is 6cm and the side of the triangle is
12√3cm.
area of the triangle=(12√3).2√3/4 =108√3 sq.cm
area of thr circumcircle=pi(12)2 =144pi sq.cm

A hexagon has 9 diagonals out of which 3 are longer than the rest. These 3 diagonals are
twice the length of the side of the hexagon as a hexagon is made up of 6 equilateral
triangles. The remaining diagonals can be calculated as:
Drop a perpendicular from B to AC at P. Now, the ∆APB is made up of

angles 30, 60 and 90. Using this we get the length of AP=6√3. Therefore, AC=12√3cm.
Thus, the sum of diagonals=3(24)+6(12√3)≈197cm.

AC=DF as ∆ABC and ∆DFE are congruent right angled triangles. AD+DC=DC+CF.
Therefore, AD=CF=DC. Thus, C is the mid pt of DF. Therefore, ∆DCG≈∆DFE similarly
∆DCG≈∆ABC. Now, angle BGE=angle DGC, BG=GC and DG=GE. So ∆BGE and ∆DGC are
congruent. Now areas of DGC:DFE=1:4 property of similar triangles. Since, area ∆BGC=
area ∆DGC, hence BGE:DFE=1:4.
49. A.57.5
Angles A, C and B are 35, 65 and 80 respectively. E and D are mid pts of AC and BC

respectively. So, ED||AB, hence angle EDC= angle B and angle FDB= angle C. Therefore,
angle FDE=180-(C+B) =35, using angles of ∆PBD we can find angle BPD.
