(1) 112 metres

Step 1
T he distance covered by Radha along the circular path = 352 metres.
Since she traveled a f ull circle, the distance covered by her is also equal to the
circumf erence of the circle.
T hus,
2r = 352, where r is the radius of the circle.
352
2r =

Since the diameter of a circle is twice its radius,
352

d= 22 , where d is the diameter of the circle.

7
d = 352
22
d = 112
Step 2
If T homas were to walk in a straight line through the center of the circle and reach the
opposite side, the distance would be equal to the diameter of the circle.

Circle

T hus, the distance would have been 112 metres.

(2) 117 m2

Step 1

Lets assume r1 and r2 be the inner and outer radius of the given circle respectively.
Step 2
According to question radius of the inner circle is 5 meters and width of the circular track is
3 m.
T heref ore r1 = 5 meters and
r2 = 5 + 3 = 8 meters
Step 3
Now area of the track is = area of the outer circle - area of the inner circle
= (r2)2 - (r1)2
= (r22 - r12)
= (82 - 52)
= (64 - 25)
= 3 39 [Since = 3]
= 117 m2
Step 4

Area of the track is 117 m2.

(3) 3009.6 meters

Step 1
Lets assume r and d are the radius and diameter of the wheel respectively, as shown
below.

Wheel

Step 2

53.2
According to question r = = 26.6 cm
2
T he distance traveled by cycle in one rotation = 2r
22
=2 26.6
7
= 167.2 cm
Step 3
Since wheel makes 60 rotation in one minute.
T heref ore the number of rotations made by wheel in 30 minutes = 60 30 = 1800
Now the distance traveled by cycle in 30 minutes = 167.2 1800 = 300960 cm
Step 4
T heref ore cycle travel 3009.6 meters in 30 minutes.

(5) 70 cm2

Step 1
Let us assume that x and y be the width and height of the original image respectively.
Area of image = width height = xy
Step 2
Since width of the image is 60% of original image and height of the image is 80% of original
image.
60 6x
T heref ore the width of new image = x=
100 10
80 8y
height of new image = y=
100 10

Step 3

6x 8y 48xy
Area of new image = width height = =
10 10 100

Step 4

Since area of new image is 33.6 cm2

48xy
T heref ore this area is equal to = 33.6
100
48xy = 33.6 100
48xy = 3360
3360
xy =
48
xy = 70
Step 5

T heref ore, the area of the original image = xy = 70 cm2

(6) 2518.10

Step 1
If you look at both the houses caref ully, you will notice that the middle side is common,
theref ore we need't to repeat it.
T he perimeter of both houses with common side = 2( T he length of f irst house + T he
length of second house + T he width of both houses ) + T he width of the middle side
= 2(23 + 20 + 21) + 21
= 128 + 21
= 149 m
Step 2
Since the cost of f encing is Rs. 16.90 per metre.
T heref ore the cost of f encing149 m is = 149 16.90
= 2518.10
Step 3
Now we can say that the cost of f encing both the houses is Rs. 2518.10

(7) 14.5 cm2

Step 1
If you count the un-shaded squares and half squares in the given f igure, you will notice that
the total number of un-shaded squares are 14.5(count two half squares as one small
square).
Step 2

Since the area of each small square is 1 cm2, theref ore the area of un-shaded part is 14.5
cm2.

(8) 26.4 meters

Step 1
Lets assume h be the hour hand of the clock and it moves in circular region as shown
below.

Clock

Step 2
According to question the length of the hour hand is 2.1 cm, theref ore the radius of the
circle is 2.1 cm.
Now the distance covered by the tip of hour hand in a day = 2 circumf erence of the circle
[Since hour hand clear two circular rounds in one day or in 24 hour]
= 2 2r
= 4r
22
=4 2.1
7
= 26.4 cm
T he distance covered by the tip of hour hand in 100 days = 100 26.4
= 2640 cm
Step 3
T heref ore the distance covered by the tip of hour hand in 100 days is 26.4 meters.

Step 1
Lets assume that the length of side C is x,
x
Since side B is half of side C, the length of side B =
2
x
and the side A is twice of side B, the length of side A = 2 =x
2

Step 2
Now the perimeter of a triangle = length of side A + length of side B + length of side C
x
=x+ +x
2

Step 3
Since perimeter of a triangle is 55 inches.
x
T heref ore x + + x = 55
2
x
2x + = 55
2
2 2x + x
= 55
2
4x + x
= 55
2
By cross multiplying both sides
5x = 2 55
5x = 110
110
x=
5
x = 22
Step 4
T heref ore the length of side C = x = 22.

(10) a. 298 m2

Step 1
We need to f ind the area of the f ollowing shape:

Step 2
First let us divide the shape into three rectangles. T he area of the shape in question will be sum of areas of these
three rectangles.

rectangle 1 rectangle 2 rectangle 3

Step 3
Let us now f ind the area of each rectangle:

Area of rectangle 1 = Length Width

= 5 m 22 m
= 110 m2

Area of rectangle 2 = Length Width

= 17 m 4 m
= 68 m2

Area of rectangle 3 = Length Width

= 5 m 24 m
= 120 m2
Step 4
Area of the shape given = Area of rectangle 1 + Area of rectangle 2 + Area of rectangle 3
= 110 m2 + 68 m2 + 120 m2

(11) c. 43.008 sq. m.

Step 1
Lets assume ABCD is a rectangular blackboard as shown below.

According to question one side of the blackboard is 6.4 m. Lets assume the second side of
the blackboard is x m.
In ABC
AB2 + BC2 = AC2
x2 + 6.4 2 = 9.282
x2 = 9.282 - 6.4 2
x = 6.72
Step 2
Now the area of the blackboard = 6.4 6.72
= 43.008 sq. m.
Step 3
T heref ore the area of the blackboard is 43.008 sq. m.

Step 1
According to question the length and width of the rectangular wire f rame are 24 cm and 21
cm respectively.
T he perimeter of the rectangular wire f rame = 2(Length + Width)
= 2(24 + 21)
= 90 cm
