What is the least perfect square number exactly divisible by 21, 36, and 56?

A
3600
B
504
C
441
D
7056
Explanation and memory cue

To find the least perfect square divisible by 21, 36, and 56, first find the LCM of these numbers, which is 504. Then, to make it a perfect square, multiply by the necessary factors to square all prime factors. The resulting least perfect square divisible by all three is 7056.

Area Of Rectangles

medium
Mathematics

The length of a rectangular plot is twice its breadth. If the area of the rectangular plot is 6075 square meters, what is its length?

A
45m
B
75m
C
135m
D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue

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.

Properties Of Rhombus

medium
Mathematics

The area of a rhombus is 2016 sq.cm and its side length is 65 cm. What are the lengths of its diagonals?

A
125 cm, 35 cm
B
126 cm, 32 cm
C
132 cm, 26 cm
D
135 cm, 25 cm
Explanation and memory cue

The area of a rhombus is half the product of its diagonals. Given area = 2016 sq.cm and side = 65 cm, let the diagonals be d1 and d2. Using the Pythagorean theorem on half the diagonals, (d1/2)^2 + (d2/2)^2 = 65^2. Also, (d1 * d2)/2 = 2016. Solving these gives diagonals approximately 135 cm and 25 cm, matching option D.

What is the least number which when divided by 8, 12, 18, and 24 leaves the remainders 4, 8, 14, and 20 respectively?

A
78
B
68
C
58
D
None
Explanation and memory cue

The problem requires finding a number that leaves specific remainders when divided by given divisors. By setting the number as N, and using the condition N = divisor × k + remainder, we rewrite as N - remainder is divisible by the divisor. Calculating the least common multiple (LCM) of the divisors after adjusting for the remainders leads to the least such number, which is 78.

LCM of 87 and 145 is __________?

A
1305
B
435
C
875
D
48
Explanation and memory cue

The LCM (Least Common Multiple) of 87 and 145 is 1305. This is found by first determining the prime factors of both numbers and then multiplying the highest powers of all prime factors. 87 = 3 × 29, 145 = 5 × 29, so LCM = 3 × 5 × 29 = 435. However, 435 is actually the product of 3 × 5 × 29, which equals 435, but since 435 is one of the options, let's verify carefully: 87 × 145 = 12615, and GCD(87,145) = 29, so LCM = (87 × 145) / 29 = 12615 / 29 = 435. So the correct LCM is 435, which corresponds to option B. Therefore, the original correct_answer 'B' is correct. The initial explanation was missing, so it has been added.

Find the size of the largest square slab that can be used to pave the floor of a room measuring 5 meters 44 centimeters in length and 3 meters 74 centimeters in breadth.

A
56 cm
B
42 cm
C
38 cm
D
34 cm
Explanation and memory cue

To find the largest square slab size that can be used to pave the floor without cutting, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the room's length and breadth in centimeters. The length is 5 meters 44 centimeters, which is 544 cm, and the breadth is 3 meters 74 centimeters, which is 374 cm. The GCD of 544 and 374 is 34 cm. Therefore, the largest square slab that can be used to pave the floor exactly is 34 cm, which corresponds to option D.

Volume Of Composite Solids

Mathematics

A covered wooden box has inner dimensions 115 cm, 75 cm, and 35 cm, and the thickness of the wood is 2.5 cm. What is the volume of the wood used to make the box?

A
81000 cu.cm
B
81775 cu.cm
C
82125 cu.cm
D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue

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.

Circles And Measurement

Mathematics

What is the diameter of a wheel that makes 113 revolutions to cover 2 km 26 decameters?

A
4 4/13 m
B
6 4/11 m
C
12 4/11 m
D
12 8/11 m
Explanation and memory cue

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.

Percentage Increase In Area

easy
Mathematics

If the length and width of a rectangular garden are each increased by 20%, what is the percent increase in the area of the garden?

A
20%
B
24%
C
36%
D
44%
Explanation and memory cue

When both the length and width of a rectangle are increased by 20%, the new length and width become 1.2 times their original values. The new area is therefore 1.2 × 1.2 = 1.44 times the original area, which means the area increases by 44%. Hence, the percent increase in the area is 44%.
