A typist uses a paper 30cm x 15cm.He leaves a margin at 2.5cm at the top and the bottom and 12.5cm on either side. What percentage of paper area is approximately available for typing

A typist uses a paper 30cm x 15cm.He leaves a margin at 2.5cm at the top and the bottom and 12.5cm on either side. What percentage of paper area is approximately available for tyg

A. 65%
B. 70%
C. 80%
D. 60%

Explanation:
Total area =(30 x 15)Sq.cm =45 Sq.cm
Area used =[(30 – 1.25 x 2) x (15 -2.5 x2)]
=(27.5 x 10)Sq.cm =275 Sq.cm
Percentage of area used =(275/450 x 100)% =61.1%
= 60%(Approx.)

The areas of two similar triangles are 12 cm2 and 48SQ. cm .If the height of the smaller one is 2.1cm than the corresponding height of the bigger one is_________?

The areas of two similar triangles are 12 cm2 and 48SQ. cm .If the height of the smaller one is 2.1cm than the corresponding height of the bigger one is_________?

A. 0.525cm
B. 4.2cm
C. 80%
D. 60%

Explanation:
The area of two similar triangles is the ratio of the square of the corresponding heights.
Therefore , 12/48 = (2.1)2 /h2
=> h2 = 4 x (2.1)2
=> h=(2 x 2.1)=4.2 cm
