The Length of a plot is four times is breadth. A playground measuring 1200 square meters occupies a third of the total area of the plot. What is the length of the plot in meters?

A. 20
B. 30
C. 60
D. None of these

Explanation:
Area of the plot = (3×1200)Sq.m = 3600 Sq.m
Breadth = x meters and length = 4x meters
4x × x = 3600 or x2 = 900 0r x = 30
Length of plot = 4x = (4×30) m = 120 m

A big rectangular plot of area 4320 Sq.m is divided into 3 square shaped smaller plots by fencing parallel to the smaller side of the plot. However, some area of land was still left as a square plot could not be formed. So 3 more square shaped plots were formed by fencing parallel to the longer side of the original plot. Such that no area of the plot was left a surplus. What are the dimensions of the original plot?

B. 240m × 18m
C. 120m × 36m
D. 135m × 32m
Let the side of smaller square at the extreme right be a

Then side of the larger square is 3a

Total area of the field = a2 + a2 +a2 + (3a)2 +(3a)2 = 30a2

Therefore, 30 a2 = 4320 => a2 = 432 / 3 = 144 => a = 12

Smaller side of the field = 36

Larger side of the field = (3a) × 3 + a = 10 a = 10 × 12 = 120

Original Dimensions of the field = 120m × 36m

Which one of the following has a greater perimeter than the rest?

A. A square with an area of 36 sq.cm
B. An Equilateral Triangle with a side of 9 cm
C. A rectangle with 10 cm as length and 40 sq.cm as area
D. A circle with a radius of 4 cm

Explanation:
From Option (A), Area of Square = 36 Sq.cm
Therefore, Side of Square = √36 = 6 cm And
Perimeter of square = 4 × 6 = 24 cm
From option (B), Side of an Equilateral Triangle = 9 cm
Therefore, Perimeter of triangle = 3 × 9 = 27 cm
From Option (C), Length of rectangle , l= 10 cm And
Area of Rectangle = 40 Sq.cm
Let Breadth of Rectangle, b = 40/10 = 4 cm
Therefore, Perimeter of rectangle = 2(10 + 4) = 28 cm
From Option (D), Radius of Circle = 4 cm
Therefore Circumference of circle = 2 × 3.14 × 4 = 25.12 cm
So, Rectangle with 10 cm as length and 40 Sq.cm as an area has a greater perimeter than the rest.
