area of its curved surface.
A. 30 m2
B. 40 m2
C. 60 m2
D. 80 m2
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
l = 10 m,

Perimeter = Distance covered in 8 min. = x8
60 m = 1600 m.
Let length = 3x metres and breadth = 2x metres.
Then, 2(3x + 2x) = 1600 or x = 160.
Length = 480 m and Breadth = 320 m.
Area = (480 x 320) m2 = 153600 m2.

11. The difference between the length and breadth of a rectangle is 23 m. If its
perimeter is 206 m, then its area is:
A. 1520 m2
B. 2420 m2
C. 2480 m2
D. 2520 m2
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
We have: (l - b) = 23 and 2(l + b) = 206 or (l + b) = 103.
Solving the two equations, we get: l = 63 and b = 40.
Area = (l x b) = (63 x 40) m2 = 2520 m2.

13. The length of a rectangular plot is 20 metres more than its breadth. If the cost
of fencing the plot @ 26.50 per metre is Rs. 5300, what is the length of the
plot in metres?
A. 40
B. 50
C. 120
D. Data inadequate
E. None of these
Answer: Option E
Explanation:
Let breadth = x metres.
Then, length = (x + 20) metres.
5300
Perimeter = m = 200 m.
26.50
2[(x + 20) + x] = 200
2x + 20 = 100
2x = 80
x = 40.
Hence, length = x + 20 = 60 m.
