Type I
Area = 1. 2 (l + b) = 24 2(3b + b) = 24 8b = 24 b = 3 cm and l = 9 cm. So, area of the field = l b = 3 9 = 27 cm2 Perimeter of the rectangle = Circumference of the

20 = 44% 100

22 42 cm = 264 cm 7 Let the dimensions of the rectangle be 6x and 5x respectively. 2 (6x + 5x) = 264 x = 12 Smaller side = 5x = 60 cm.
circular wire = 2 3. Radius of the circle = 14 cm Angle of the sector = 18

Volume of the copper sphere = Volume of the wire Let l be the length of the wire. Then,

a = 9 cm. Perimeter = 4a = 4 9 = 36 cm. Now, Perimeter of the equilateral triangle with side b = 3b 3b = 36 b = 12 cm

Let r be the radius of the circular plot.

r 2 = 154 r = 7m
Circumference of the plot = 2 22 7 = 44 m 7 Cost of fencing the plot = Rs. 44 2.75 = Rs.121 17. d Volume of each can = r 2h = (0.75)2 (0.2) Volume of circular cylinder = (3)2 (8) If there are n cans, then
(0.75)2 (0.2) n = (3)2 (8) Solving, n = 640

22 = r(l + r) = 5 (13 + 5) 7
22 = 7 5 18 = 282.8 cm2
12. c Let a be the side of square, then diagonal is given by

2 a = 20
