Geometry and Mensuration

Increasing each side of a square by 50% means each side becomes 1.5 times the original length. The area scales by the square of the scale factor, so the new area is (1.5)^2 = 2.25 times the original. The ratio of the new area to the original area is therefore 9:4.

The circumference of the wheel is the distance covered in one revolution. Given total distance = 88 km = 88000 m and number of revolutions = 1000, the circumference = 88000 / 1000 = 88 m. The diameter is calculated by dividing the circumference by π (approximately 3.14), so diameter = 88 / 3.14 ≈ 28.03 m. This matches option C (28 m). Therefore, the correct answer is C, not B.

The area of the square is 6050 m². To find the side length, take the square root of the area: side = √6050 ≈ 77.78 m. The diagonal of a square is given by the formula diagonal = side × √2. Therefore, diagonal ≈ 77.78 × 1.414 ≈ 110 m. Among the options, 110 m corresponds to option A, making it the correct answer.

The floor area is 12.96 m × 3.84 m = 49.7664 m². To find the minimum number of whole square slabs, we need the largest square slab size that exactly divides both dimensions. The greatest common divisor (GCD) of 12.96 and 3.84 is 1.92 m. Each slab is 1.92 m × 1.92 m = 3.6864 m². Number of slabs = total area / slab area = 49.7664 / 3.6864 = 13.5 × 14 = 192 slabs.

The wire forms a square with area 484 sq.cm, so each side is 22 cm (since 22^2=484). The perimeter is 4×22=88 cm, which is the circumference of the circle formed by the same wire. Using C=2πr, radius r=88/(2π)=14 cm. The area of the circle is πr²=π×14²=196π ≈ 615.75 sq.cm, which matches option C. However, option B is given as 538 2/7 sq.cm, which is approximately 538.29, not matching the calculation. Therefore, option C (616 sq.cm) is the closest correct area. The original correct_answer was C, which is correct.

The side length of the square is the square root of its area, so side = √484 = 22 m. The perimeter of the square is 4 × 22 = 88 m. Since the perimeter of the circle equals the perimeter of the square, the circumference of the circle is also 88 m. Using the circumference formula 2πr = 88, solving for r gives r = 88 / (2π) = 14 m (using π ≈ 22/7). The diameter of the circle is twice the radius, so diameter = 2 × 14 = 28 m. Therefore, the correct answer is C (28 m).

The rectangle's perimeter is calculated as 2 × (18 cm + 26 cm) = 88 cm. Since the circle has the same perimeter, its circumference is also 88 cm. Using the circumference formula C = 2πr, we solve for the radius r = 88 / (2π) = 44 / π. Using π ≈ 22/7, r = 44 × 7 / 22 = 14 cm. The area of the circle is then A = πr² = (22/7) × 14 × 14 = 616 cm². Therefore, the correct answer is option C (616 cm²).

The diagonal of the first square is 4√2 cm, so its side length is (4√2)/√2 = 4 cm. The area of the first square is 4² = 16 cm². A second square with double the area has area 32 cm², so its side length is √32 = 4√2 cm. The diagonal of this second square is side × √2 = 4√2 × √2 = 4 × 2 = 8 cm.

If the length is increased by 25%, the new length is 1.25 times the original. To keep the area unchanged, the width must be adjusted so that (new length) × (new width) = original area. Therefore, new width = original width ÷ 1.25 = 0.8 times the original width, which means the width should be reduced by 20%.

The largest circle that can fit inside a rectangle will have a diameter equal to the shorter side of the rectangle, which is 14 cm in this case. Therefore, the radius of the circle is 7 cm. The area of the circle is given by π × radius² = π × 7² = 49π ≈ 154 sq.cm. Among the options, 154 sq.cm corresponds to option B, making it the correct answer.

The circumference of the wheel is 2 × π × 17.5 = 110 meters approximately. To travel 11 km (11,000 meters), the number of revolutions is 11,000 ÷ 110 = 100 revolutions.

The ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is 12:48, which simplifies to 1:4. Since areas scale as the square of the similarity ratio, the linear scale factor (including heights) is the square root of 1/4, which is 1/2. Given the smaller triangle's height is 2.1 cm, the corresponding height of the bigger triangle is 2.1 cm × 2 = 4.2 cm.

Let the radius of the smaller circle be r cm, and the bigger circle be r + 7 cm. The difference in areas is π[(r + 7)^2 - r^2] = 1078. Simplifying gives π(14r + 49) = 1078, so 14r + 49 = 1078/π ≈ 343. Solving for r gives r ≈ 17.5 cm.

Given both shapes have the same perimeter of 160m, the square has sides of 40m (since 4 × 40 = 160). The rectangle's area is 100 sq.m less than the square's area. Using the perimeter and area difference, the rectangle's length calculates to 40m.

Given the perimeter P = 60m and length L = 2 × breadth B, we have 2(L + B) = 60, so L + B = 30. Substituting L = 2B gives 2B + B = 30, so 3B = 30 and B = 10m. Then L = 20m. Area = L × B = 20 × 10 = 200 m².

When the side length of a square is increased by 25%, the new side length is 1.25 times the original. The area increases by (1.25)^2 - 1 = 1.5625 - 1 = 0.5625, or 56.25%.

Given the area A = 24.64 m², the radius r is calculated using the formula A = πr². Thus, r = √(24.64/π) ≈ √(7.84) ≈ 2.8 m. The circumference C is then C = 2πr ≈ 2 × 3.14 × 2.8 ≈ 17.6 m. Therefore, the correct answer is option C (17.60 m). Option B (16.36 m) is incorrect and option A has wrong units (cm instead of m).

The increase in area when the radius increases by 1 cm is given by the difference between the areas: π(r+1)^2 - πr^2 = π(2r + 1). Setting this equal to 22 cm² gives 3.14(2r + 1) = 22, solving for r yields approximately 3 cm.

The volume of earth dug from the cylindrical tunnel is π × (2)^2 × 56 = 224π m³. The volume of the ditch is 48 × 16.5 × 4 = 3168 m³. The fraction of the ditch that can be filled is (224π) / 3168 ≈ 0.222, which is 2/9. Hence, option B is correct.

The tank's height is calculated by dividing the volume (24 m³) by the base area (4 m × 3 m = 12 m²), giving a height of 2 m. The total surface area to be painted includes the outer surfaces (length × breadth + 2 × height × (length + breadth)) and the inner surfaces (excluding the top). Calculating both inner and outer surfaces and multiplying by the cost per square meter results in Rs. 800.

First, convert the total distance to meters: 2 km 26 decameters = 2000 m + 260 m = 2260 m. The wheel makes 113 revolutions to cover 2260 m, so the circumference of the wheel is 2260 m / 113 = 20 m. The diameter is circumference divided by π, so diameter = 20 / π ≈ 6.366 m, which is approximately 6 4/11 m. However, the options given are fractions close to these values; recalculating carefully: 2260 / 113 = 20 m circumference, diameter = 20/π ≈ 6.366 m, which matches option B (6 4/11 m). Therefore, option B is correct.

The volume of wood used to make the box is the difference between the outer volume and the inner volume. The outer dimensions are each inner dimension plus twice the thickness: outer length = 115 + 2*2.5 = 120 cm, outer width = 75 + 2*2.5 = 80 cm, outer height = 35 + 2*2.5 = 40 cm. The outer volume is 120 × 80 × 40 = 384,000 cu.cm. The inner volume is 115 × 75 × 35 = 303,125 cu.cm. The volume of the wood is 384,000 - 303,125 = 80,875 cu.cm. This exact value does not match any of the given options (81000, 81775, 82125 cu.cm). Therefore, the correct answer is 'None of these'. The original explanation's calculation of inner volume was slightly off (303,750 instead of 303,125), leading to a slightly different difference. The exact calculation shows the volume of wood is 80,875 cu.cm, which is not close enough to any option to justify rounding to option A. Hence, option D is correct.

Let the breadth be x meters. Then the length is 2x meters. The area is length × breadth = 2x × x = 2x² = 6075. Solving for x² gives x² = 3037.5, so x ≈ 55.11 meters. Therefore, length = 2x ≈ 110.22 meters. However, since 135m is given as an option and none match exactly, let's re-check calculations: 2x² = 6075 → x² = 3037.5 → x ≈ 55.11, length = 110.22m, which is not 135m. So none of the options except 'None of these' is correct. But since 'None of these' is option D, the correct answer should be D, not C. Therefore, the correct answer is D.

The area of a triangle is given by (1/2) × base × height. If the height is decreased by 40%, the new height is 60% of the original. If the base is increased by 40%, the new base is 140% of the original. The new area is (1/2) × 1.4 × base × 0.6 × height = 0.84 × original area, which means the area is 84% of the original. This corresponds to a 16% decrease in area. Therefore, the correct answer is option C: 16% decrease.

Given the short side is 30 m and the area is 1200 m², the long side is 1200 ÷ 30 = 40 m. The diagonal is √(30² + 40²) = 50 m. The total fencing length is 30 + 40 + 50 = 120 m. At Rs.10 per meter, the cost is 120 × 10 = Rs.1200. However, the question states fencing one long side, one short side, and the diagonal, so total fencing length is 30 + 40 + 50 = 120 m, costing Rs.1200. The correct cost is Rs.1200, which corresponds to option B, not C. Therefore, the original correct_answer 'B' is correct, but the explanation was missing and is now provided.
