And,

641 + 2359 = 3000

Question: 3

Determine the sum by suitable rearrangements:

Solution:

(i) 953 + 407 + 647

Therefore, 53 + 47 = 100

Therefore, (953 + 647) + 407 = 1600 + 407 = 2007

(ii) 15409 + 178 + 591 + 322

409 + 91 = 500

And,

78 + 22 = 100

Therefore, (15409 + 591) + (178 + 322) = (16000) + (500)

= 16500

(iii) 2359 + 10001 + 2641 + 9999

Therefore, 59 + 41 = 100

And, 99 + 01 = 100

Therefore, (2359 + 2641) + (10001 + 9999)

= (5000) + (20000)

= 25000

(iv) 1  + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1996 + 1997 + 1998 + 1999

Therefore, 99 + 1 = 100

98 + 2 = 100

97 + 3 = 100

And

96 + 4 = 100

Therefore, (1 + 1999) + (2 + 1998) + (3 + 1997) + (4 + 1996)

= 2000 + 2000 + 2000 + 2000

= 8000

Question: 2

Replace each * by the correct digit in each of the following:

Solution:

Here, we can we see that in the units digit, 6 – * = 7, which means that the value of * is 9, as 1 gets carried from 7 at tens place to 6 at unit place and 6 at unit digit becomes 16 then 16 – 9 = 7.

Now, when 7 gives 1 to 6, it becomes 6, so 6 – 3 = 3.

Also, it can be easily deduced that in (8 – * = 6 ), the value of * is 2.

(ii) Here, it is clear that in the units place, 9 – 4 = 5;

And in the tens place,

8 – 3 = 5.

We can now easily find out the other missing blanks by subtracting 3455 from 8989. Addend (difference) = 3455

Thus, the correct answer is:

(iii)

Here, in the units digit, 17 – 8 = 9; in the tens digit, 9 – 7 = 2;

in the hundreds place, 10 – 9 = 1;

and in the thousands place, 9 – 8 = 1.

Addend difference = 5061129.

So, in order to get the addend, we will subtract 5061129 from 6000107.

Thus, the correct answer is:

(iv)

In the units place, 10 -1 = 9;

Also, in the lakhs place, 9 -0 = 9;

Addend difference = 970429.

So, in order to get the addend, we will subtract 970429 from 1000000.

Thus, the correct answer is:

(v) 

Here, in the units digit, 13 – 7 = 6;

in the tens digit, 9 – 8 = 1;

in the hundreds place, 9 – 9 = 0;

and in the thousands place, 10 – 6 = 4.

Addend difference = 4844016.

So, in order to get the addend, we will subtract 4844016 from 5001003.

(vi)

It is clear from the units place that 11 – 9 = 2.

Addend difference = 54322.

To get the other addend, we will subtract 54322 from 111111.

Thus, the other addend is 56789.

The correct answer is:

Question: 3

What is the difference between the largest number of five digits and smallest number of six digits?

Therefore, difference between them = 1000000 – 9999 = 990001

Question: 5

Rohit deposited Rs 125000 in his savings bank account. Later he withdrew Rs 35425 from it. How much money was left in his account?

Solution:

Money deposited by Rohit = Rs 125000

Money withdrawn by Rohit = Rs 35425

Therefore, money left in the account = Rs (125000 – 35425) = Rs 89575

Question: 6

The population of a town is 96209. If the number of men is 29642 and that of women is 29167, determine the number of children.

Solution:

Total population of the town = 96209

Number of men = 29642

Number of women = 29167

Sum of men and women = (29642 + 29167) = 58809

Therefore, Number of children in the town = ( Total population ) – ( Sum of men and women )

= 96209 – 58809 = 37400

Question: 7

The digits of 6 and 9 of the number 36490 are interchanged. Find the difference between the original number and the new number.

Difference = 39460 – 36490 = 2970

Question: 8

The population of a town was 59000. In one year it was increased by 4563 due to new births. However, 9218 persons died or left the town during the year. What was the population at the end of the year?

Solution:

Population of the town = 59000

Increase in the population = 4536

Decrease in the population = 9218

New population = 59000 + 4536 – 9218 = 54318

This can also be written as

(1 + 2 + 3 + …+ 99 + 100) – (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + …+ 47 + 49)

Now,

(1 + 2 + 3 + …+ 99 + 100 ) = 100 × 1012

and, (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +…+ 47 + 49 ) = 49 × 502

So, (50 + 51 + 52 + …+ 100 ) = 100 × 1012 – 49 × 502

= 5050 – 1225

= 3825

(iii) 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 +…+ 100

This can also be written as 2 × (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + …+ 49 + 50)

Now,

(1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + …+ 49 + 50 ) = 50 × 512

= 1275

Therefore, (2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 + …+ 100) = 2 × 1275 = 2550

Exercise 4.6

Question: 1

Which one of the following is the smallest whole number?

(a) 1  (b)  2   (c) 0  (d) None of these

Solution:

The set of whole numbers is {0 , 1, 2, 3, 4, …}.

So, the smallest whole number is 0.

Hence, the correct option is (c).

Question: 2

Which one of the following is the smallest even whole number?

(a) 0 (b) 1 (c) 2 (d) None of these

Solution:

The natural numbers along with 0 form the collection of whole numbers.

So, the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, … form the collection of whole numbers.

The number which is divisible by 2 is an even number.

So, in the collection “0, 1, 2, 3, 4, …”, 2 is the smallest even number.

Hence, the correct option is (c).

Question: 3

Which one of the following is the smallest odd whole number?

(a) 0 (b) 1 (c) 3 (d) 5

Solution:

The natural numbers along with 0 form the collection of whole numbers.

So, the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, … form the collection of whole numbers.

A natural number which is not divisible by 2 is called an odd whole number.

So, in the collection “0, 1, 2, 3, 4, …”, 1 is the smallest odd whole number.

Hence, the correct option is (b).

Question: 4

How many whole numbers are between 437 and 487?

(a) 50 (b) 49 (c) 51 (d) None of these

Solution:

The whole numbers between 437 and 487 are 438, 439, 440, 441, … , 484, 485 and 486. To find the required number of whole numbers,

We need to subtract 437 from 487 and then subtract again 1 from the result.

Thus, there are (487 – 437) – 1 whole numbers between 437 and 487.

Now, (487 – 437) – 1 = 50 – 1 = 49

Hence, the correct option is (b).

Question: 5

The product of the successor 999 and predecessor of 1001 is:

(a) one lakh (b) one billion (c) one million (d) one crore

Solution:

Successor of 999 = 999 + 1 = 1000

Predecessor of 1001 = 1001 – 1 = 1000

Now,

Product = (Successor of 999) × (Predecessor of 1001)

= 1000 × 1000

= 1000000

= one million

Hence, the correct option is (c).

Question: 6

Which one of the following whole numbers does not have a predecessor?

(a) 1 (b) 0 (c) 2 (d) None of these

Solution:

The numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, …. form the collection of whole numbers.

The smallest whole number is 0.

So, 0 does not have a predecessor.

Hence, the correct option is (b).

Question: 7

The number of whole numbers between the smallest whole number and the greatest 2 digit number is:

(a) 101 (b) 100  (c) 99 (d) 98

Solution:

Smallest whole number = 0

Greatest 2-digit whole number = 99

The whole numbers between 0 and 99 are 1, 2, 3, 4 …… 97, 98.

To find the number of whole numbers between 0 and 99,

Subtract 1 from the difference of 0 and 99.

Therefore, Number of whole numbers between 0 and 99 = (99 – 0) – 1

= 99 – 1

= 98

Hence, the correct option is (d).

Question: 8

If n is a whole number such that n + n = n, then n =?

(a) 1 (b) 2 (c) 3 (d) None of these

Solution:

Here, 0 + 0 = 0, 1 + 1 = 2 , 2 + 2 = 4 …..

So, the statement n + n = n is true only when n = 0.

Hence, the correct option is (d).

Question: 9

The predecessor of the smallest 3 digit number is:

(a) 999 (b) 99 (c) 100 (d) 101

Solution:

Smallest 3-digit number = 100

Predecessor of 3-digit number = 100 — 1 = 99

Hence, the correct option is (b).

Question: 10

The least number of 4 digits which is exactly divisible by 9 is:

(a)1008  (b)1009  (c)1026  (d)1018

Solution:

Least 4-digit number = 1000

The least 4-digit number exactly divisible by 9 is 1000 + (9 – 1) = 1008.

Hence, the correct option is (a).

Question: 11

The number which when divided by 53 gives 8 as quotient and 5 as remainder is:

(a) 424 (b) 419 (c) 429 (d) None of these

Solution:

Here, Divisor = 53, Quotient = 8 and Remainder = 5.

Now, using the relation Dividend = Divisor x Quotient + Remainder

We get

Dividend = 53 x 8 + 5

= 424 + 5

= 429

Thus, the required number is 429.

Hence, the correct option is (c).

Question: 12

The whole number n satisfying n + 35 = 101 is:

(a) 65 (b) 67 (c) 64 (d) 66

Solution:

Here, n+ 35 = 101.

Adding – 35 on both sides, we get

n + 35 + (- 35) = 101 + (- 35)

n + 0 = 66

n = 66

Hence, the correct option is (d).

Question: 13

The value of 4 x 378 x 25 is:

(a) 37800 (b) 3780 (c) 9450 (d) 30078

Solution:

By regrouping, we get

4 × 378 × 25 = 4 × 25 × 378

= 100 × 378

= 37800

Hence, the correct option is (a).

Question: 14

The value of 1735 x 1232 – 1735 x 232 is:

(a) 17350 (b) 173500 (c) 1735000 (d) 173505

Solution:

Using distributive law of multiplication over subtraction, we get

1735 × 1232 – 1735 × 232 = 1735 (1232 – 232)

= 1735 × 1000

= 1735000

Hence, the correct option is (c).

Question: 15

The value of 47 × 99 is:

(a) 4635 (b) 4653 (c) 4563 (d) 6453

Solution:

Since, 99 = 100 — 1

Therefore, 47 × 99 = 47 × (100 — 1)

= 47 × 100 — 47

= 4700 — 47

= 4653

Thus, the value of 47 × 99 is 4653.

Hence, the correct option is (b).

Question: 1

How many four – digit numbers are there in all?

Solution:

There are 10 digits i.e., 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ,7, 8, 9.

We cannot use ‘0’ at thousand’s place.

So, we can use only 9 digits at thousand’s place.

Also, we can use 10 digits at hundred’s, 10 digits at ten’s and 10 digits at unit’s place.

So, total numbers of four-digit numbers = 9 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 9000

Question: 2

Write the smallest and the largest six digit numbers. How many numbers are between these two.

Solution:

The smallest digit is 0. But we cannot use 0 at the place having the highest place value in six digit numbers. So, we will use the second smallest digit i.e., 1. All other places are filled by 9.

Hence, the required number = 100000

Smallest six digit number will be 100000.

The largest digit is 9.

We can use 9 at any place. In fact , we can use 9 in all places in six digit numbers.

Hence, the required number = 999999

Largest six digit number will be 999999

Required difference = 999999 – 100000 = 899999

So, the total numbers between 999999 and 100000 will be 899998.

Question: 3

How many 8 – digit numbers are there in all ?

Solution:

There are 10 digits i.e., 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ,7, 8, 9.

We cannot use ‘0’ at the place having the highest place value in 8 digit numbers.

So, we can use only 9 digits at the place having the highest place value in 8 digit numbers.

Also, we can use 10 digits at the remaining places in 8 digit numbers So, total numbers of 8-digit numbers = 9 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 90000000

Question: 4

Write 10075302 in words and rearrange the digits to get the smallest and the largest numbers.

Solution:

One crore seventy-five thousand three hundred two.

In order to write the smallest 8-digit number using digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7, we put the smallest digit 1 ( Except 0 ) at the place having the highest place value. The largest digit 7 is put at the rightmost place i.e. at unit’s place, the digit 5 is put at the ten’s place, the digit 3 is put at the hundred’s place and the digit 2 is put at the thousand’s place. All other places are filled by 0. Hence, the required largest number is 10002357.

In order to write the largest 8-digit number using digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7, we put the largest digit 7 at the place having the highest place value. The smallest digit 5 is put at the place after the highest place value. We put the next smallest digit ( i.e., 3 ) after the previous one. After it we place the next smallest digit ( i.e., 2 ) and after that we put the digit 1. All other places are filled by 0. Hence, the required largest number is 75321000.

Exercise 1.5

Question: 1

How many milligrams make one kilogram?

Solution:

Ten lakh or one million (10, 00, 000) milligrams make one kilogram.

Question: 2

A box of medicine tablets contains 2, 00,000 tablets each weighing 20mg. what is the total weight of all the tablets in the box in grams? in kilograms ?

Solution:

Given data: Each tablet weighs = 20 mg

Therefore, The weight of 2, 00,000 tablets = 2, 00,000 × 20 = 40, 00,000 mg

Therefore, The total weight of all the tablets in the box = 40, 00,000 mg

We know 1 g = 1,000 mg

Weight of the box having all tablets = 40,00,000 ÷ 1,000=4000g

And, as 1 kg = 1,000 g

Therefore, Weight of the box having all tablets = 4,000 ÷ 1,000 = 4000g = 4 kg

Question: 3

Population of sundarnagar was 2, 35,471 in the year 1991. In the year 2001 it was found to have increased by 72,958. What was the population of the city in 2001?

Solution:

The population of Sundar Nagar in 2001 = Sum of the population of city in 1991 + Increase in population over the given time period

As given in the question, The population of Sundar Nagar in 1991 = 2, 35,471

As given in the question,

Increase in population over the given time period = 72.958

Therefore, The population of Sundar Nagar in 2001

= 2, 35,471 + 72,958 = 3, 08,429

Question: 4

Solution:

Total number of tickets sold on all four days is the sum of the tickets sold on the first, second, third and final days.

Therefore, total number of tickets sold on all four days is given by:

= 1094 + 1812 + 2050 + 2751 = 7707

Question: 5

The town newspaper is published every day. One copy has 12 pages. Everyday 11,980 copies are printed. How many pages are in all printed every day? Every month?

Solution:

As given in the question,

Number of pages in 1 copy of newspaper = 12

Therefore, Number of pages in 11,980 copies of newspaper

= 11,980 × 12 = 1, 43,760

Thus, 1, 43,760 pages are printed every day.

Now, number of pages printed every day = 1, 43,760

Therefore, Number of pages printed in a month = 1, 43,760 × 30 = 43, 12,800

Thus, 43, 12,800 pages are printed in a month.

Question: 6

Therefore, Number of screws produced by the same machine in the month of January 2006 = 2, 825 × 31 = 87,575

Thus, machine-produced 87,575 screws in the month of January 2006.

Question: 7

A famous cricket player has so far scored 6978 runs in test matches. He wishes to complete 10,000 runs. How many more runs does he need?

Solution:

Runs scored by cricket player in test matches = 6,978

Therefore, Remaining runs required to complete 10,000 runs

= 10,000 – 6,978 = 3,022

Thus, the player needs to score 3,022 more runs to complete 10,000 runs.

Question: 8

Ravish has Rs. 78,592 with him. He placed an order for purchasing 39 radio sets at Rs. 1234 each. How much money will remain with him after the purchase?

Solution:

Ravish’s initial money = Rs.78, 592

He purchased 39 radio sets at Rs.1, 234 each.

Therefore, Money spent by him on purchasing 39 radio sets

= 1,234 × 39 = Rs. 48,126

Therefore, Remaining money with Ravish after the purchase = Initial money – Money spent on purchasing 39 radio sets = Rs. 78,592 – Rs. 48,126 = Rs. 30,466

Thus, 230,466 are left with him after the purchase.

Question: 9

In an election, the successful candidate registered 5, 77,570 votes and his nearest rival secured 3, 48,685 votes. By what margin did the successful candidate win the election?

Solution:

Margin of victory in the election for the successful candidate = Number of votes registered by the winner – Number of votes secured by nearest rival candidate

Votes registered by the winner = 5, 77,570

Votes secured by the rival = 3, 48,685

Therefore, Margin of victory for the successful candidate

= 5, 77, 570 – 3, 48, 685 = 2, 28, 885

Question: 10

To stitch a shirt 2m 15 cm cloth is needed. Out of 40 m cloth, how many shirts can be stitched and how much cloth will remain?

Solution:

As given in the question, Total length of available cloth = 40 m = 4,000 cm (1 m = 100 cm)

As given in the question, Length of cloth required to stitch a shirt

= 215 cm = 200 + 15 = 215 cm

Therefore, The number of shirts that can be stitched from the 40-metre cloth

= 4,000 / 215 = 18.60

As the number of shirts has to be a whole number, we consider the whole part only. That is, 18 such shirts can be stitched.

Therefore, Cloth required for stitching 18 shirts = 215 x 18 = 3870 cm. Therefore, Remaining cloth = 4,000 — 3870 = 130 cm = 1.3 m

Question: 11

A vessel has 4 litre and 650 ml of curd. In how many glasses, each of 25 ml capacity, can it be distributed?

Solution:

The number of glasses in which curd can be distributed = Total amount of curd/Capacity of each glass.

Total amount of curd in the vessel = 4,650 ml = 4,000 + 650 = 4,650 ml

( 1 L = 1,000 ml )

Capacity of each glass = 25 ml

Therefore, Number of glasses in which curd can be distributed = 4,650/25 = 186

Question: 12

Medicine in packed in boxes, each such boxes weighing 4kg 500g. How many such boxes can be loaded in a van which cannot carry beyond 800 Kg?

Solution:

Sol :

As given in the question,

Total capacity of a van carrying boxes of medicines = 800 kg = 8, 00,000 g (1 kg = 1,000 g)

As given in the question, Weight of each packed box

= 4,500 g = 4,000 + 500 = 4,500 g

Therefore, Total number of boxes that can be loaded in the van

= 8, 00,000 / 4,500 = 177.77

The obtained number of boxes is not a whole number.

Therefore, Weight of 177 boxes = 177 × 4,500 = 7, 96,500 g (under permissible limit)

Therefore, Weight of 178 boxes = 178 × 4,500 = 8, 01,000 g (beyond permissible limit)

Therefore, we can’t load 178 boxes; hence, we can say that 177 boxes can be loaded in the van.

Question: 13

The Distance between the school and the house of a student is 1 Km 875 m. Every day she walks both ways between her school and home. Find the total distance covered by her in a week?

Solution:

Therefore, Distance between the school and the house of a student

= 1,875 m = 1,000 + 875 = 1,875 m (1 km = 1,000 m)

As given in the question, Distance covered by a student in a day

= 2 × 1,875 = 3,750 m

Total distance covered by her in a week = 7 × 3,750 = 26,250 m = 26.25 km

= 402 ÷ 8

= 50.25 runs.

Question: 3

The marks (out of 100) obtained by a group of students in science test are 85, 76, 90, 84, 39, 48, 56, 95, 81 and 75. Find the

(i) Highest and the lowest marks obtained by the students.

(ii) Range of marks obtained.

(iii) Mean marks obtained by the group.

Solution:

In order to find the highest and lowest marks, let us arrange the marks in ascending order as follows:

39, 48, 56, 75, 76, 81, 84, 85, 90, 95

(i) Clearly, the highest mark is 95 and the lowest is 39.

(ii) The range of the marks obtained is: (95 – 39) = 56.

(iii) We have:

Mean marks = Sum of the marks ÷ Total number of students

→ Mean marks = (39 + 48 + 56 + 75 + 76 + 81 + 84 + 85 + 90 + 95) ÷ 10

= 729 ÷ 10

Question: 4

The enrolment of a school during six consecutive years was as follows:

1555, 1670, 1750, 2019, 2540, 2820

Find the mean enrollment of the school for this period.

Solution:

The mean enrolment = Sum of the enrolments in each year ÷ Total number of years

The mean enrolment = (1555 + 1670 + 1750 + 2019 + 2540 + 2820) ÷ 6

= 12354 ÷ 6

= 2059.

Thus, the mean enrolment of the school for the given period is 2059.

Question: 5

(i) Find the range of the rainfall from the above data.

(ii) Find the mean rainfall for the week.

(iii) On how many days was the rainfall less than the mean rainfall.

Solution:

(i) The range of the rainfall = Maximum rainfall – Minimum rainfall

= 20.5 – 0.0

= 20.5 mm.

(ii) The mean rainfall = (0.0 + 12.2 + 2.1 + 0.0 + 20.5 + 5.3 + 1.0) ÷ 7

= 41.1 ÷ 7

= 5.87 mm.

(iii) Clearly, there are 5 days (Mon, Wed, Thu, Sat and Sun), when the rainfall was less than the mean, i.e., 5.87 mm.

Question: 6

Thus, on an average there are 3 children per family in the locality.

Question: 16

The mean of marks scored by 100 students was found to be 40. Later on it was discovered that a score of 53 was misread as 83. Find the correct mean.

Solution:

We have:

n = The number of observations = 100, Mean = 40

→ Sum of the observations = 40 x 100

Thus, the incorrect sum of the observations = 40 x 100 = 4000.

Now,

The correct sum of the observations = Incorrect sum of the observations – Incorrect observation + Correct observation

→ The correct sum of the observations = 4000 – 83 + 53

→ The correct sum of the observations = 4000 – 30 = 3970

Question: 17

The mean of five numbers is 27. If one number is excluded, their mean is 25. Find the excluded number.

Solution:

We have:

So, sum of the five numbers = 5 x 27 = 135.

Now,

So, sum of the four numbers = 4 x 25 = 100.

Therefore, the excluded number = Sum of the five number – Sum of the four numbers

→ The excluded number = 135 – 100 = 35.

Question: 18

The mean weight of 8 numbers is 15 kg. If each number is multiplied by 2, what will be the new mean?

Solution:

Let x₁, x₂, x₃…x₈ be the eight numbers whose mean is 15 kg. Then,

x₁ + x₂ + x₃ + …+ x₈ = 15 × 8

→x₁ + x₂ + x₃ +…+ x₈ = 120.

Let the new numbers be 2x₁, 2x₂, 2x₃ …2x₈. Let M be the arithmetic mean of the new numbers.

Then,

Question: 20

The mean of 5 numbers is 18. If one number is excluded, their mean is 16. Find the excluded number.

Solution:

Let x₁, x₂, x₃, x₄ and x₅ be five numbers whose mean is 18. Then,

18 = Sum of five numbers ÷ 5

∴ Sum of five numbers = 18 × 5 = 90

Now, if one number is excluded, then their mean is 16.

So,

16 = Sum of four numbers ÷ 4

∴ Sum of four numbers = 16 × 4 = 64.

The excluded number = Sum of five observations – Sum of four observations

∴ The excluded number = 90 – 64

∴ The excluded number = 26.

Question: 21

The mean of 200 items was 50. Later on, it was discovered that the two items were misread as 92 and 8 instead of 192 and 88. Find the correct mean.

Solution:

n = Number of observations = 200

→ Sum of the observations = 50 x 200 = 10,000.

Thus, the incorrect sum of the observations = 50 x 200

Now,

The correct sum of the observations = Incorrect sum of the observations – Incorrect observations + Correct observations

→ Correct sum of the observations = 10,000 – (92 + 8) + (192 + 88)

→ Correct sum of the observations = 10,000 – 100 + 280

→ Correct sum of the observations = 9900 + 280

→ Correct sum of the observations = 10,180.

Question: 22

The mean of 5 numbers is 27. If one more number is included, then the mean is 25. Find the included number.

Solution:

We have:

Mean = Sum of five numbers ÷ 5

→ Sum of the five numbers = 27 × 5 = 135.

Now, New mean = 25

25 = Sum of six numbers ÷ 6

→ Sum of the six numbers = 25 × 6 = 150.

The included number = Sum of the six numbers – Sum of the five numbers

→ The included number = 150 – 135

→ The included number = 15.

Question: 23

The mean of 75 numbers is 35. If each number is multiplied by 4, find the new mean.

Solution:

Let x₁, x₂, x₃…x₇₅ be 75 numbers with their mean equal to 35. Then,

x₁ + x₂ + x₃ +…+x₇₅ = 35 × 75

→ x₁ + x₂ + x₃ +…+ x₇₅ = 2625

The new numbers are 4 x 1, 4 x 2, 4 x 3…4 x 75

Let M be the arithmetic mean of the new numbers. Then,

→ M = 140.

12, 12, 13, 13, 14, 14, 14, 16, 19

Here, n = 9.

Here, 14 occurs the maximum number of times, i.e., three times. Therefore, 14 is the mode of the data.

Now,

Mode = 3 Median – 2 Mean

→ 14 = 3 x 14 – 2 Mean

→ 2 Mean = 42 – 14 = 28

→ Mean = 28 ÷ 2 = 14.

Question: 2

Find the median and mode of the data: 35, 32, 35, 42, 38, 32, 34

Solution:

Solution:

Arranging the data in ascending order such that same values are put together, we get:

6, 8, 10, 10, 15, 15, 50, 80, 100, 120

Here, n = 11

Here, 10 occur three times. Therefore, 10 is the mode of the given data.

Now,

Mode = 3 Median – 2 Mean

→ 10 = 3 x 15 – 2 Mean

→ 2 Mean = 45 – 10 = 35

→ Mean = 35 ÷ 2 = 17.5

Question: 5

Find the mode of the following data:

12, 14, 16, 12, 14, 14, 16, 14, 10, 14, 18, 14

Question: 1

Find the area, in square meters, of a rectangle whose

(i) Length = 5.5 m, breadth = 2.4 m

(ii) Length = 180 cm, breadth = 150 cm

Solution:

We have,

(i) Length = 5.5 m, Breadth = 2.4 m Therefore, Area of rectangle = Length x Breadth = 5.5 m x 2.4 m = 13.2 m²

(ii) Length = 180 cm = 1.8 m, Breadth = 150 cm = 1.5 m [ Since 100 cm = 1 m] Therefore, Area of rectangle = Length x Breadth = 1.8 m x 1.5 m = 2.7 m²

Question: 2

Find the area, in square centimeters, of a square whose side is

(i) 2.6 cm

(ii) 1.2 dm

Solution:

We have,

(i) Side of the square = 2.6 cm

Therefore, area of the square = (Side)² = (2.6 cm)2= 6.76 cm²

(ii) Side of the square = 1.2 dm = 1.2 x 10 cm = 12 cm

Therefore, area of the square = (Side)² = (12 cm)²= 144 cm² [ Since 1 dm = 10 cm]

Question: 3

Find in square metres, the area of a square of side 16.5 dam.

Solution:

We have,

Side of the square = 16.5

dam = 16.5 x 10 m = 165 m

Area of the square = (Side)² = (165 m)² = 27225 m²

[Since 1 dam/dm (decameter) = 10 m]

Question: 4

Find the area of a rectangular field in acres whose sides are:

(1) 200 m and 125 m

(ii) 75 m 5 dm and 120 m

Solution:

We have,

(i) Length of the rectangular field = 200 m

Breadth of the rectangular field = 125 m

Therefore, Area of the rectangular field = Length x Breadth = 200 m x 125 m

= 25000 m² = 250 acres [Since 100 m² = 1 are]

(ii) Length of the rectangular field =75 m 5 dm = (75 + 0.5) m

= 75.5 m [Since 1 dm = 10 cm = OA m]

Breadth of the rectangular field = 120 m

Therefore, Area of the rectangular field = Length x Breadth

= 75.5 m x 120 m = 9060 m² = 90.6 acres [Since 100 m² = 1 are]

Question: 5

Find the area of a rectangular field in hectares whose sides are:

(i) 125 m and 400 m

(ii) 75 m 5 dm and 120 m

Solution:

We have,

(i) Length of the rectangular field = 125 m

Breadth of the rectangular field = 400 m

Therefore, Area of the rectangular field = Length x Breadth

= 125 m x 400 m = 50000 m² = 5 hectares [Since 10000 m² = 1 hectare]

(ii) Length of the rectangular field =75 m 5 dm = (75 + 0.5) m

= 75.5 m [Since 1 dm = 10 cm = 0.1 m]

Breadth of the rectangular field = 120 m

Therefore, Area of the rectangular field = Length x Breadth

= 75.5 m x 120 m = 9060 m² = 0.906 hectares [Since 10000 m² = 1 hectare]

Question: 6

A door of dimensions 3 m x 2m is on the wall of dimension 10 m x 10 m. Find the cost of painting the wall if rate of painting is Rs 2.50 per sq. m.

Solution:

We have,

Length of the door = 3 m

Breadth of the door = 2 m

Side of the wall = 10 m

Area of the wall = Side x Side = 10 m x 10 m

= 100 m²

Area of the door = Length x Breadth = 3 m x 2 m = 6 m

Thus, required area of the wall for painting = Area of the wall – Area of the door

= (100 – 6) m²= 94 m²

Rate of painting per square metre = Rs. 2.50

Hence, the cost of painting the wall = Rs. (94 x 2.50) = Rs. 235

Question: 7

A wire is in the shape of a rectangle. Its length is 40 cm and breadth is 22 cm. If the same wire is bent in the shape of a square, what will be the measure of each side? Also, find which side encloses more area?

Solution:

We have,

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(Length + Breadth)

= 2(40 cm + 22 cm) = 124 cm

It is given that the wire which was in the shape of a rectangle is now bent into a square.

Therefore, the perimeter of the square = Perimeter of the rectangle

→ Perimeter of the square = 124 cm

4 x side = 124 cm

Side = 124/4 = 31 cm

Now, Area of the rectangle = 40 cm x 22 cm = 880 cm²

Area of the square = (Side)² = (31 cm)² = 961 cm².

Therefore, the square-shaped wire encloses more area.

Question: 8

How many square metres of glass will be required for a window, which has 12 panes, each pane measuring 25 cm by 16 cm?

Solution:

We have,

Length of the glass pane = 25 cm

Breadth of the glass pane = 16 cm

Area of one glass pane = 25 cm x 16 cm

= 400 cm² = 0.04 m²

[Since 1 m² = 10000 cm² ]

Thus, Area of 12 such panes = 12 x 0.04 = 0.48 m²

Question: 9

A marble tile measures 10 cm x 12 cm. How many tiles will be required to cover a wall of size 3 m x 4 m? Also, find the total cost of the tiles at the rate of Rs 2 per tile.

Solution:

We have,

Area of the wall = 3 m x 4 m = 12 m²

Area of one marble tile = 10 cm x 12 cm

= 120 c m² = 0.012 m² [Since 1 m² = 10000 c m² ]

Thus, Number of tiles = Area of wall

Area of one tile=12 m² = 0.012 m²=1000

Cost of one tile = Rs. 2

Total cost = Number of tiles x Cost of one tile

= Rs. (1000 x 2)

= Rs. 2000

Question: 10

A table top is 9 dm 5 cm long 6 dm 5 cm broad. What will be the cost to polish it at the rate of 20 paise per square centimetre?

Solution:

We have,

Length of the table top = 9 dm 5 cm = (9 x 10 + 5) cm = 95 cm [ Since 1 dm = 10 cm]

Breadth of the table top = 6 dm 5 cm = (6 x 10 + 5) cm = 65 cm

Area of the table top = Length x Breadth = (95 cm x 65 cm) = 6175 c m²

Rate of polishing per square centimetre = 20 paise = Rs. 0.20

Total cost = Rs. (6175 x 0.20) = Rs. 1235

Question: 11

A room is 9.68 m long and 6.2 m wide. Its floor is to be covered with rectangular tiles of size 22 cm by 10 cm. Find the total cost of the tiles at the rate of Rs 2.50 per tile.

Solution:

We have,

Length of the floor of the room = 9.68 m

Breadth of the floor of the room = 6.2 m

Area of the floor = 9.68 m x 6.2 m = 60.016 m²

Length of the tile = 22 cm

Breadth of the tile = 10 cm

Area of one tile = 22 cm x 10 cm = 220 c m² = 0.022 m² [Since 1 m² = 10000 c m²]

Thus, Number of tiles = 60.016 m²/0.022 m²=2728

Cost of one tile = Rs. 2.50

Total cost = Number of tiles x Cost of one tile = Rs. (2728 x 2.50) = Rs. 6820

Question: 12

One side of a square field is 179 m. Find the cost of raising a lawn on the field at the rate of Rs 1.50 per square metre.

Solution:

We have,

Side of the square field = 179 m

Area of the field = (Side) ² = (179 m) ² = 32041 m²

Rate of raising a lawn on the field per square metre = Rs. 1.50 Thus,

Total cost of raising a lawn on the field = Rs. (32041 x 1.50) = Rs. 48061.50

Question: 13

A rectangular field is measured 290 m by 210 m. How long will it take for a girl to go two times round the field, if she walks at the rate of 1.5 m/sec?

Solution:

We have,

Length of the rectangular field = 290 m

Breadth of the rectangular field = 210 m

Perimeter of the rectangular field = 2(Length + Breadth) = 2(290 + 210) = 1000 m

Distance covered by the girl = 2 x Perimeter of the rectangular field = 2 x 1000 = 2000 m

The girl walks at the rate of 1.5 m/sec. Or, Rate = 1.5 x 60 m/min = 90 m/min

Thus, required time to cover a distance of 2000 m = 2000 m/90 m/min

= 2229min

Hence, the girl will take 2229 min to go two times around the field.

Question: 14

A corridor of a school is 8 m long and 6 m wide. It is to be covered with canvas sheets. If the available canvas sheets have the size 2 m x 1 m, find the cost of canvas sheets required to cover the corridor at the rate of Rs 8 per sheet.

Solution:

We have,

Length of the corridor = 8 m

Breadth of the corridor = 6 m

Area of the corridor of a school = Length x Breadth = (8 m x 6 m) = 48 m²

Length of the canvas sheet = 2 m

Breadth of the canvas sheet = 1 m

Area of one canvas sheet = Length x Breadth = (2 m x 1 m) = 2 m²

Thus, Number of canvas sheets = 48 m² /2m²=24

Cost of one canvas sheet = Rs. 8

Total cost of the canvas sheets = Rs. (24 x 8) = Rs. 192

Question: 15

The length and breadth of a playground are 62 m 60 cm and 25 m 40 cm respectively. Find the cost of turfing it at Rs 2.50 per square metre. How long will a man take to go three times round the field, if he walks at the rate of 2 metres per second?

Solution:

We have,

Length of a playground = 62 m 60 cm = 62.6 m [ Since 10 cm = 0.1 m]

Breadth of a playground = 25 m 40 cm = 25.4 m

Area of a playground = Length x Breadth= 62.6 m x 25.4 m = 1590.04 m²

Rate of turfing = Rs. 2.50/ m² Total cost of turfing = Rs. (1590.04 x 2.50) = Rs. 3975.10

Again, Perimeter of a rectangular field = 2(Length + Breadth) = 2(62.6 + 25.4) = 176 m

Distance covered by the man in 3 rounds of a field = 3 x Perimeter of a rectangular field

= 3 x 176 m = 528 m

The man walks at the rate of 2 m/sec. Or, Rate = 2 x 60 m/min = 120 m/min

Thus, required time to cover a distance of 528 m = 528 m120 m/min=4.4 min

= 4 minutes 24 seconds [Since 0.1 minutes = 6 seconds]

Question: 16

A lane 180 m long and 5 m wide is to be paved with bricks of length 20 cm and breadth 15 cm. Find the cost of bricks that are required, at the rate of Rs 750 per thousand.

Solution:

We have,

Length of the lane = 180 m

Breadth of the lane = 5 m

Area of a lane = Length x Breadth = 180 m x 5 m = 900 m²

Length of the brick = 20 cm

Breadth of the brick = 15 cm

Area of a brick = Length x Breadth = 20 cm x 15 cm

= 300 cm² = 0.03 m² [Since 1 m² = 10000 cm²]

Required number of bricks = 900 m²/0.03 m² = 30000

Cost of 1000 bricks = Rs. 750

Total cost of 30,000 bricks = Rs. 750×30,000/1000 = Rs. 22,500

Question: 17

How many envelopes can be made out of a sheet of paper 125 cm by 85 cm; supposing one envelope requires a piece of paper of size 17 cm by 5 cm?

Solution:

We have,

Length of the sheet of paper = 125 cm

Breadth of the sheet of paper = 85 cm

Area of a sheet of paper = Length x Breadth = 125 cm x 85 cm = 10,625 cm²

Length of sheet required for an envelope = 17 cm

Breadth of sheet required for an envelope = 5 cm

Area of the sheet required for one envelope = Length x Breadth

= 17 cm x 5 cm = 85 c m²

Thus, required number of envelopes = 10,625 cm²/85 c m² = 125

Question: 18

The width of a cloth is 170 cm. Calculate the length of the cloth required to make 25 diapers, if each diaper requires a piece of cloth of size 50 cm by 17 cm.

Solution:

We have,

Length of the diaper = 50 cm

Breadth of the diaper = 17 cm

Area of cloth to make 1 diaper = Length x Breadth = 50 cm x 17 cm = 850 cm²

Thus, Area of 25 such diapers = (25 x 850) c m² = 21,250 cm²

Area of total cloth = Area of 25 diapers = 21,250 cm²

It is given that width of a cloth = 170 cm

Length of the cloth = Area of cloth

Width of a cloth = 21,250 cm 2170 cm = 125 cm

Hence, length of the cloth will be 125 cm.

Question: 19

The carpet for a room 6.6 m by 5.6 m costs Rs 3960 and it was made from a roll 70 cm wide. Find the cost of the carpet per metre.

Solution:

We have,

Length of a room = 6.6 m

Breadth of a room = 5.6 m

Area of a room = Length x Breadth = 6.6 m x 5.6 m = 36.96 m²

Width of a carpet = 70 cm = 0.7 m [Since 1 m = 100 cm]

Length of a carpet = Area of a room

Width of a carpet = 36.96 m 20.7 m = 52.8 m

Cost of 52.8 m long roll of carpet = Rs. 3960

Therefore, Cost of 1 m long roll of carpet = Rs. 396052.8 = Rs. 75

Question: 20

A room is 9 m long, 8 m broad and 6.5 m high. It has one door of dimensions 2 m x 1.5 m and three windows each of dimensions 1.5 m x 1 m. Find the cost of white T4L washing the walls at Rs 3.80 per square metre.

Solution:

We have,

Length of a room = 9 m

Breadth of a room = 8 m

Height of a room = 6.5 m

Area of 4 walls = 2(1 + b)h = 2(9 m + 8 m) x 6.5 m = 2 x 17 m x 6.5 m = 221 m²

Length of a door = 2 m

Breadth of a door = 1.5 m

Area of a door = Length x Breadth = 2 m x 1.5 m = 3 m²

Length of a window = 1.5 m

Breadth of a window = 1 m

Since, area of one window = Length x Breadth = 1.5 m x 1 m = 1.5 m²

Thus, Area of 3 such windows = 3 x 1.5 m² = 4.5 m²

Area to be white-washed = Area of 4 walls – (Area of one door + Area of 3 windows)

Area to be white-washed = [221 – (3 + 4.5)] m² = (221 – 7.5) m² = 213.5 m²

Cost of white-washing for 1 m² area = Rs. 3.80

Cost of white-washing for 213.5 m² area = Rs. (213.5 x 3.80) = Rs. 811.30

Question: 21

A hall 36 m long and 24 m broad allowing 80 m2 for doors and windows, the cost of papering the walls at Rs 8.40 per m2 is Rs 9408. Find the height of the hall.

Solution:

We have,

Length of the hall = 36 m

Breadth of the hall = 24 m

Let h be the height of the hall.

Now, in papering the wall, we need to paper the four walls excluding the floor and roof of the hall. So, the area of the wall which is to be papered = Area of 4 walls

= 2h(I + b)

= 2h (36 + 24)

= 120h m²

Now, area left for the door and the windows = 80 m²

So, the area which is actually papered = (120h – 80) m²

Again, The cost of papering the walls at Rs 8.40 per m² = Rs. 9408

→ (120h – 80) m² x Rs. 8.40 per m²= Rs. 9408

→ (120h – 80) m² = Rs. 9408/Rs. 8.40

→ (120h – 80) m² = 1120 m²

→ 120h m² = (1120 + 80) m²

→ 120h m²= 1200 m²

h = 1200 m² 120 m = 10 m

Hence, the height of the wall would be 10 m.

Exercise 20.2

Question: 1

A rectangular grassy lawn measuring 40 m by 25 m is to be surrounded externally by a path which is 2 m wide. Calculate the cost of leveling the path at the rate of Rs 8.25 per square metre.

Solution:

We have,

Length AB = 40 m and breadth BC = 25 m

Area of lawn ABCD = 40 m x 25 m = 1000 m²

Length PQ = (40 + 2 + 2 ) m = 44 m

Breadth QR = ( 25 + 2 + 2 ) m = 29 m

Area of PQRS = 44 m x 29 m = 1276 m²

Now, Area of the path = Area of PQRS – Area of the lawn ABCD

= 1276 m² – 1000 m² = 276 m²

Rate of leveling the path = Rs. 8.25 per m²

Cost of leveling the path = Rs.( 8.25 x 276) = Rs. 2277

Question: 2

One metre wide path is built inside a square park of side 30 m along its sides. The remaining part of the park is covered by grass. If the total cost of covering by grass is Rs 1176, find the rate per square metre at which the park is covered by the grass.

Solution:

We have,

Side of square garden (a) = 30 m

Area of the square garden including the path = a²= (30)² = 900 m²

From the figure, it can be observed that the side of the square garden, when the path is not included, is 28 m.

Area of the square garden not including the path = (28)2 = 784 m²

Total cost of covering the park with grass = Area of the park covering with green grass x Rate per square metre

1176 = 784 x Rate per square metre

Rate per square metre at which the park is covered with grass = Rs. (1176 ÷ 784 ) = Rs. 1.50

Question: 3

Through a rectangular field of sides 90 m x 60 m, two roads are constructed which are parallel to the sides and cut each other at right angles through the centre of the field. if the width of the roads is 3 m, find the total area covered by the two roads.

Solution:

Length of the rectangular sheet = 90 m

Breadth of the rectangular sheet = 60 cm

Area of the rectangular field = 90 m x 60 m = 5400 m²

Area of the road PQRS = 90 m x 3 m = 270 m²

Area of the road ABCD = 60 m x 3 m = 180 m²

Clearly, area of KLMN is common to the two roads.

Thus, area of KLMN = 3 m x 3 m = 9 m²

Hence, Area of the roads = Area (PQRS) + Area (ABCD) – Area (KLMN)

= (270 + 180) m² – 9 m² = 441 m²

Question: 4

from a rectangular sheet of tin, of size 100 cm by 80 cm, are cut four squares of side 10 cm from each corner. Find the area of the remaining sheet.

Solution:

Length of the rectangular sheet = 100 cm

Breadth of the rectangular sheet = 80 cm

Area of the rectangular sheet of tin = 100 cm x 80 cm

= 8000 c m²

Side of the square at the corner of the sheet = 10 cm

Area of one square at the corner of the sheet = (10 cm)² = 100 cm²

Area of 4 squares at the corner of the sheet = 4 x 100 cm² = 400 cm²

Hence, Area of the remaining sheet of tin = Area of the rectangular sheet – Area of the 4 squares

Area of the remaining sheet of tin = (8000 – 400) cm² = 7600 cm²

Question: 5

A painting 8 cm long and 5 cm wide is painted on a cardboard such that there is a margin of 1.5 cm along each of its sides. Find the total area of the margin.

Solution:

We have, Length of the cardboard = 8 cm and breadth of the cardboard = 5 cm

Area of the cardboard including the margin = 8 cm x 5 cm = 40 c m²

From the figure, it can be observed that,

New length of the painting when the margin is not included = 8 cm – (1.5 cm + 1.5 cm)

= (8 – 3) cm = 5 cm

New breadth of the painting when the margin is not included = 5 cm – (1.5 cm + 1.5 cm)

= (5 – 3) cm = 2 cm

Area of the painting not including the margin = 5 cm x 2 cm = 10 cm²

Hence, Area of the margin = Area of the cardboard including the margin – Area of the painting

= (40 – 10) cm² = 30 cm²

Question: 6

Rakesh has a rectangular field of length 80 m and breadth 60 m. In it, he wants to make a garden 10 m long and 4 m broad at one of the corners and at another corner, he wants to grow flowers in two floor-beds each of size 4 m by 1.5 m. In the remaining part of the field, he wants to apply manures. Find the cost of applying the manures at the rate of Rs 300 per area.

Solution:

Length of the rectangular field = 80 m

Breadth of the rectangular field = 60 m

Area of the rectangular field = 80 m x 60 = 4800 m²

Again, Area of the garden = 10 m x 4 m = 40 m²

Area of one flower bed = 4 m x 1.5 m = 6 m²

Thus, Area of two flower beds = 2 x 6 m² = 12 m²

Remaining area of the field for applying manure = Area of the rectangular field – (Area of the garden + Area of the two flower beds)

Remaining area of the field for applying manure = 4800 m² – (40 + 12) m²

= (4800 – 52 ) m² = 4748 m²

Since 100 m² = 1 acre → 4748 m² = 47.48 acres

So, cost of applying manure at the rate of Rs. 300 per are will be Rs. (300 x 47.48) = Rs. 14244

Question: 7

Each side of a square flower bed is 2 m 80 cm long. It is extended by digging a strip 30 cm wide all around it. Find the area of the enlarged flower bed and also the increase in the area of the flower bed.

Solution:

We have ,

Side of the flower bed = 2 m 80 cm = 2.80 m [since 100 cm = 1 m ]

Area of the square flower bed = (Side)² = (2.80 m )² = 7.84 m²

Side of the flower bed with the digging strip = 2.80 m + 30 cm + 30 cm

= (2.80 + 0.3 + 0.3) m

= 3.4 m

Area of the enlarged flower bed with the digging strip = (Side) 2 = (3.4)² = 11.56 m²

Thus, Increase in the area of the flower bed = 11.56 m² – 7.84 m² = 3.72 m²

Question: 8

A room 5 m long and 4 m wide is surrounded by a verandah. If the verandah occupies an area of 22 m² , find the width of the varandah.

Solution:

Let the width of the verandah be x m.

Length of the room AB = 5 m and BC = 4 m

Area of the room = 5 m x 4 m = 20 m²

Length of the verandah PQ = (5 + x + x) = (5 + 2x) m

Breadth of the verandah QR = ( 4 + x + x) = (4 + 2x) m

Area of verandah PQRS = (5 + 2x) x (4 + 2x) = (4×2 + 18x + 20 ) m²

Area of verandah = Area of PQRS – Area of ABCD

→ 22 = 4x² + 18x + 20 – 20

22 = 4x² + 18x

11 = 2x² + 9x

2x² + 9x – 11 = 0

2x² + 11x – 2x – 11 =0

x(2x+11)-1(2x+11)=0

(x- 1)(2x+11)= 0

When x – 1 = 0, x = 1

When 2x + 11 = 0, x = -11/2

The width cannot be a negative value. So, width of the verandah = x = 1 m.

Question: 9

A square lawn has a 2 m wide path surrounding it. If the area of the path is 136 m² , find the area of the lawn.

Solution:

Let ABCD be the square lawn and PQRS be the outer boundary of the square path.

Let side of the lawn AB be x m.

Area of the square lawn = x²

Length PQ = (x m + 2 m + 2 m) = (x + 4) m

Area of PQRS = (x + 4)² = (x² + 8x + 16) m²

Now, Area of the path = Area of PQRS – Area of the square lawn

136 = x² + 8x + 16 – x²

136 = 8x + 16

136 – 16 = 8x

120 = 8x

x = 120/ 8 = 15

Side of the lawn = 15 m Hence, Area of the lawn = (Side)² = (15 m)² = 225 m²

Question: 10

A poster of size 10 cm by 8 cm is pasted on a sheet of cardboard such that there is a margin of width 1.75 cm along each side of the poster. Find (i) the total area of the margin (ii) the cost of the cardboard used at the rate of Re 0.60 per c m² .

Solution:

We have,

Length of poster = 10 cm and breadth of poster = 8 cm

Area of the poster = Length x Breadth = 10 cm x 8 cm = 80 cm²

From the figure, it can be observed that,

Length of the cardboard when the margin is included = 10 cm + 1.75 cm + 1.75 cm = 13.5 cm

Breadth of the cardboard when the margin is included = 8 cm + 1.75 cm + 1.75 cm = 11.5 cm

Area of the cardboard = Length x Breadth = 13.5 cm x 11.5 cm = 155.25 c m²

Hence,

(i) Area of the margin = Area of cardboard including the margin – Area of the poster

= 155.25 c m² – 80 c m²

= 75.25 c m²

(ii) Cost of the cardboard = Area of cardboard x Rate of the cardboard Rs 0.60 per cm²

= Rs. (155.25 x 0.60)

= Rs. 93.15

Question: 11

A rectangular field is 50 m by 40 m. It has two roads through its centre, running parallel to its sides. The widths of the longer and shorter roads are 1.8 m and 2.5 m respectively. Find the area of the roads and the area of the remaining portion of the field.

Solution:

Let ABCD be the rectangular field and KLMN and PQRS the two rectangular roads with width   1.8 m and 2.5 m, respectively.

Length of the rectangular field CD = 50 cm and breadth of the rectangular field BC = 40 m

Area of the rectangular field ABCD = 50 m x 40 m = 2000 m²

Area of the road KLMN = 40 m x 2.5 m = 100 m²

Area of the road PQRS = 50 m x 1.8 m = 90 m²

Clearly area of EFGH is common to the two roads.

Thus, Area of EFGH = 2.5 m x 1.8 m = 4.5 m²

Hence, Area of the roads = Area (KLMN) + Area (PQRS) – Area (EFGH)

= (100 m² + 90 m²) – 4.5 m²

= 185.5 m²

Area of the remaining portion of the field = Area of the rectangular field ABCD – Area of the roads

= (2000 – 185.5) m²

= 1814.5 m²
 

Question: 12

There is a rectangular field of size 94 m x 32 m. Three roads each of 2 m width pass through the field such that two roads are parallel to the breadth of the field and the third is parallel to the length. Calculate: (i) area of the field covered by the three roads (ii) area of the field not covered by the roads.

Solution:

Let ABCD be the rectangular field.

Here, Two roads which are parallel to the breadth of the field KLMN and EFGH with width 2 m each. One road which is parallel to the length of the field PQRS with width 2 m.

Length of the rectangular field AB = 94 m and breadth of the rectangular field BC = 32 m

Area of the rectangular field = Length x Breadth = 94 m x 32 m = 3008 m²

Area of the road KLMN = 32 m x 2 m = 64 m²

Area of the road EFGH = 32 m x 2 m = 64 m²

Area of the road PQRS = 94 m x 2 m = 188 m²

Clearly area of TUVI and WXYZ is common to these three roads.

Thus, Area of TUV1 = 2 m x 2 m = 4 m²

Area of WXYZ = 2 m x 2 m = 4 m²

Hence,

(i) Area of the field covered by the three roads: = Area (KLMN) + Area (EFGH) + Area (PQRS) – {Area (TUVI) + Area (WXYZ)}

= [ 64+ 64 + 188 – (4 + 4 )] m²

= 316 m² – 8 m²

= 308 m²

(ii) Area of the field not covered by the roads: = Area of the rectangular field ABCD – Area of the field covered by the three roads

= 3008 m² – 308 m²

= 2700 m²

Question: 13

A school has a hall which is 22 m long and 15.5 m broad. A carpet is laid inside the hall leaving all around a margin of 75 cm from the walls. Find the area of the carpet and the area of the strip left uncovered. If the width of the carpet is 82 cm, find the cost at the rate of Rs 18 per metre.

Solution:

We have,

Length of hall PQ = 22 m and breadth of hall QR = 15.5 m

Area of the school hall PQRS = 22 m x 15.5 m = 341 m²

Length of the carpet AB = 22 m – ( 0.75 m + 0.75 m) = 20.5 m [ Since 100 cm = 1 m]

Breadth of the carpet BC = 15.5 m – ( 0.75 m + 0.75 m) = 14 m

Area of the carpet ABCD = 20.5 m x 14 m = 287 m²

Area of the strip = Area of the school hall PQRS – Area of the carpet ABCD

= 341 m² – 287 m² = 54 m²

Again, Area of the 1 m length of carpet = 1 m x 0.82 m = 0.82 m²

Thus, Length of the carpet whose area is 287 m² = 287 m² + 0.82 m² = 350 m

Cost of the 350 m long carpet = Rs. 18 x 350 = Rs. 6300

Question: 14

Two cross roads, each of width 5 m, run at right angles through the centre of a rectangular park of length 70 m and breadth 45 m parallel to its sides. Find the area of the roads. Also, find the cost of constructing the roads at the rate of Rs 105 per m² .

Solution:

Let ABCD be the rectangular park then EFGH and IJKL the two rectangular roads with width 5 m.

Length of the rectangular park AD = 70 cm

Breadth of the rectangular park CD = 45 m

Area of the rectangular park = Length x Breadth = 70 m x 45 m = 3150 m²

Area of the road EFGH = 70 m x 5 m = 350 m²

Area of the road JKIL = 45 m x 5 m = 225 m²

Clearly area of MNOP is common to the two roads.

Thus, Area of MNOP = 5 m x 5 m = 25 m²

Hence,

Area of the roads = Area (EFGH) + Area (JKIL) – Area (MNOP)

= (350 + 225) m²– 25 m² = 550 m²

Again, it is given that the cost of constructing the roads = Rs. 105 per m²

Therefore,

Cost of constructing 550 m² area of the roads = Rs. (105 x 550)

= Rs. 57750.

Question: 15

The length and breadth of a rectangular park are in the ratio 5: 2. A 2.5 m wide path running all around the outside the park has an area 305 m² . Find the dimensions of the park.

Solution:

We have,

Area of path = 305 m²

Let the length of the park be 5x m and the breadth of the park be 2x m

Thus,

Area of the rectangular park = (5x) x (2x) = 10x² m²

Width of the path = 2.5 m

Outer length PQ = 5x m + 2.5 m + 2.5 m = (5x + 5) m

Outer breadth QR = 2x + 2.5 m + 2.5 m = (2x + 5) m

Area of PQRS = (5x + 5) m x (2x + 5) m = (10x² + 25x + 10x + 25) m²= (10x² + 35x + 25) m²

Area of the path = [(10x² + 35x + 25) – 10x²] m²

→ 305 = 35x + 25

→ 305 – 25 = 35x

→ 280 = 35x

→ x = 280 + 35 = 8

Therefore,

Length of the park = 5x = 5 x 8 = 40 m

Breadth of the park = 2x = 2 x 8 = 16 m

Question: 16

A square lawn is surrounded by a path 2.5 m wide. If the area of the path is 165 m² , find the area of the lawn.

Solution:

Let the side of the lawn be x m.

Given that width of the path = 2.5 m

Side of the lawn including the path = (x + 2.5 + 2.5) m = (x + 5 ) m

So, area of lawn = (Area of the lawn including the path) – (Area of the path)

We know that the area of a square = (Side)²

Area of lawn (x²) = (x + 5)² – 165

→ x² = (X² + 10X + 25) – 165

→ 165 = 10x + 25

→ 165 – 25 =10x

→ 140 = 10x

Therefore x = 140 / 10 = 14

Thus the side of the lawn = 14 m

Hence,

The area of the lawn = (14 m) ² = 196 m²

Exercise 20.3

Question: 1

Find the area of a parallelogram with base 8 cm and altitude 4.5 cm.

Solution:

We have,

Base = 8 cm and altitude = 4.5 cm

Thus, Area of the parallelogram = Base x Altitude

= 8 cm x 4.5 cm

= 36 cm²

Question: 2

Find the area in square metres of the parallelogram whose base and altitudes are as under

(i) Base =15 dm, altitude = 6.4 dm

(ii) Base =1 m 40 cm, altitude = 60 cm

Solution:

We have,

(i) Base = 15 dm = (15 x 10) cm = 150 cm = 1.5 m

Altitude = 6.4 dm = (6.4 x 10) cm = 64 cm = 0.64 m

Thus, Area of the parallelogram = Base x Altitude

= 1.5 m x 0.64 m

= 0.96 m²

(ii) Base = 1 m 40 cm = 1.4 m [Since 100 cm = 1 m]

Altitude = 60 cm = 0.6 m

Thus, Area of the parallelogram = Base x Altitude

= 1.4 m x 0.6 m

= 0.84 m²     [Since 100 cm = 1 m]

Question: 3

Find the altitude of a parallelogram whose area is 54 d m² and base is 12 dm.

Solution:

We have,

Area of the given parallelogram = 54 d m²

Base of the given parallelogram = 12 dm

Altitude of the given parallelogram = Area/Base = 54/12 dm = 4.5 dm

Question: 4

The area of a rhombus is 28 m². If its perimeter be 28 m, find its altitude.

Solution:

We have,

Perimeter of a rhombus = 28 m 4(Side) = 28 m [Since perimeter = 4(Side)]

Side = 28 m4=7 m

Now, Area of the rhombus = 28 m²

(Side x Altitude) = 28 m² (7 m x Altitude) = 28 m²

Altitude = 28 m 27m = 4 m

Question: 5

In Fig., ABCD is a parallelogram, DL ⊥ AB and DM ⊥ BC. If AB = 18 cm, BC =12 cm and DM= 9.3 cm, find DL.

Solution:

We have,

Taking BC as the base, BC = 12 cm and altitude DM = 9.3 cm

Area of parallelogram ABCD = Base x Altitude = (12 cm x 9.3 cm) = 111.6 c m²  —–(i)

Now, Taking AB as the base,

We have, Area of the parallelogram ABCD = Base x Altitude

= (18 cm x DL)                                          —–(ii)

From (i) and (ii), we have 18 cm x DL = 111.6 c m²

DL = 111.6 cm 218 cm = 6.2 cm

Question: 6

The longer side of a parallelogram is 54 cm and the corresponding altitude is 16 cm. If the altitude corresponding to the shorter side is 24 cm, find the length of the shorter side.

Solution:

We have,

ABCD is a parallelogram with the longer side AB = 54 cm and corresponding altitude AE = 16 cm. The shorter side is BC and the corresponding altitude is CF = 24 cm.

Area of a parallelogram = base x height.

We have two altitudes and two corresponding bases.

So,

½ x BC x CF = ½ x AB x AE

= BC x CF = AB x AE

= BC x 24 = 54 x 16

= BC = (54×16)/24 = 36 cm

Hence, the length of the shorter side BC = AD = 36 cm.

Question: 7

In Fig. 21, ABCD is a parallelogram, DL ⊥ AB. If AB = 20 cm, AD = 13 cm and area of the parallelogram is 100 c m², find AL.

Solution:

We have,

ABCD is a parallelogram with base AB = 20 cm and corresponding altitude DL.

It is given that the area of the parallelogram ABCD = 100 c m²

Now, Area of a parallelogram = Base x Height

100 c m² = AB x DL

100 c m² = 20 cm x DL

DL = 100 c m²= 5 cm

Again by Pythagoras theorem, we have,

(AD)² = (AL)² + (DL)²

= (13)² = (AL)²+ (5)²

(AL)2= (13)² – (5)²

= 169 – 25 = 144

(AL)² = (12)²

AL = 12 cm

Hence, length of AL is 12 cm.

Question: 8

In Fig. 21, if AB = 35 cm, AD= 20 cm and area of the parallelogram is 560 cm², find LB.

Solution:

We have,

ABCD is a parallelogram with base AB = 35 cm and corresponding altitude DL.

The adjacent side of the parallelogram AD = 20 cm.

It is given that the area of the parallelogram ABCD = 560 c m²

Now, Area of the parallelogram = Base x Height

560 cm² = AB x DL 560 c m² = 35 cm x DL

DL = 560 cm/235 cm= 16 cm

Again by Pythagoras theorem, we have, (AD)² = (AL)² + (DL)²

(20)²= (AL)² + (16)²

(AL)² = (20)² – (16)²

= 400 – 256

= 144

(AL)² = (12)2

= AL = 12 cm

From the figure, AB = AL + LB 35 cm

= 12 cm + LB

LB = 35 cm – 12 cm = 23 cm

Hence, length of LB is 23 cm.

Question: 9

The adjacent sides of a parallelogram are 10 m and 8 m. If the distance between the longer sides is 4 m, find the distance between the shorter sides.

Solution:

We have,

ABCD is a parallelogram with side AB = 10 m and corresponding altitude AE = 4 m.

The adjacent side AD = 8 m and the corresponding altitude is CF.

Area of a parallelogram = Base x Height

We have two altitudes and two corresponding bases.

So, AD x CF = AB x AE = 8 m x CF = 10 m x 4 m

= CF = (10 x 4)8 = 5 m

Hence, the distance between the shorter sides is 5 m.

Question: 10

The base of a parallelogram is twice its height. If the area of the parallelogram is 512 cm², find the base and height.

Solution:

Let the height of the parallelogram be x cm.

Then the base of the parallelogram is 2x cm.

It is given that the area of the parallelogram = 512 cm²

So, Area of a parallelogram = Base x Height

512 c m² = (2x) (x)

512 c m² = 2x²

X² = 512 cm²/2 = 256 c m²

X² = (16 cm)²

X = 16 cm

Hence, base = 2x = 2 x 16 = 32 cm and height = x = 16 cm.

Question: 11

Find the area of a rhombus having each side equal to 15 cm and one of whose diagonals is 24 cm.

Solution:

Let ABCD be the rhombus where diagonals intersect at 0.

Then AB = 15 cm and AC = 24 cm.

The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.

Therefore, triangle A0B is a right-angled triangle, right angled at O such that

OA = ½(AC) = 12 cm and AB = 15 cm.

By Pythagoras theorem, we have,

(AB)² = (OA)² + (OB)²

(15)² = (12)² + (OB)²

(OB)²= (15)²– (12)²

(OB)² = 225 – 144 = 81

(OB)² = (9)²

OB = 9 cm

BD = 2 x OB = 2 x 9 cm = 18 cm

Hence, Area of the rhombus ABCD = (½ x AC x BD)

=( 1/2 x 24 x 18 )

= 216 cm²

Question: 12

Find the area of a rhombus, each side of which measures 20 cm and one of whose diagonals is 24 cm.

Solution:

Let ABCD be the rhombus whose diagonals intersect at 0.

Then AB = 20 cm and AC = 24 cm.

The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.

Therefore Triangle AOB is a right-angled triangle, right angled at O

Such that;

OA = ½ AC =12 cm and AB =20 cm

By Pythagoras theorem, we have,

(AB)² = (OA)²+ (OB) ²

(20)² = (12)² + (OB) ²

(OB) ²= (20) ²– (12) ²

(OB)² = 400 – 144

= 256

(OB) ² = (16) ²

= OB = 16 cm

BD =2 x OB = 2 x 16 cm = 32 cm

Hence, Area of the rhombus ABCD = ½ x AC x BD

= 1/2 x 24 x 32

= 384 c m²

Question: 13

The length of a side of a square field is 4 m. What will be the altitude of the rhombus, if the area of the rhombus is equal to the square field and one of its diagonals is 2 m?

Solution:

We have,

Area of the rhombus = Area of the square of side 4 m

= 1/2 x AC x 130 = 4 m²

= 1/2 x AC x 2 m =16 m²

= AC = 16 m

We know that the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular bisectors of each other.

= AO = 1/2 (AC) = 8 m and BO = 1/2 (BD) = 1 m

By Pythagoras theorem, we have:

AO² + BO² = AB²

AB² = (8 m) ² + (1 m) ² = 64 m² + 1 m² = 65 m²

Side of a rhombus = AB = √65 m.

Let DX be the altitude.

Area of the rhombus = AB x DX 16 m²

= √65m × DX

DX = 16/(√65) m

Hence, the altitude of the rhombus will be 16/√65 m.

Question: 14

Two sides of a parallelogram are 20 cm and 25 cm. If the altitude corresponding to the sides of length 25 cm is 10 cm, find the altitude corresponding to the other pair of sides.

Solution:

We have,

ABCD is a parallelogram with longer side AB = 25 cm and altitude AE = 10 cm.

As ABCD is a parallelogram. Hence AB = CD (opposite sides of parallelogram are equal).

The shorter side is AD = 20 cm and the corresponding altitude is CF.

Area of a parallelogram = Base x Height

We have two altitudes and two corresponding bases.

So, = AD x CF = CD x AE

= 20 x CF = 25 x 10

CF = 12.5 cm

Hence, the altitude corresponding to the other pair of the side AD is 12.5 cm.

Question: 15

The base and corresponding altitude of a parallelogram are 10 cm and 12 cm respectively. If the other altitude is 8 cm, find the length of the other pair of parallel sides.

Solution:

We have,

ABCD is a parallelogram with side AB = CD = 10 cm (Opposite sides of parallelogram are equal) and corresponding altitude AM = 12 cm. The other side is AD and the corresponding altitude is CN = 8 cm.

Area of a parallelogram = Base x Height

We have two altitudes and two corresponding bases.

So,

= AD x CN = CD x AM

= AD x 8 = 10 x 12

= AD = (10×12)/8=15 cm

Hence, the length of the other pair of the parallel side = 15 cm.

Question: 16

A floral design on the floor of a building consists of 280 tiles. Each tile is in the shape of a parallelogram of altitude 3 cm and base 5 cm. Find the cost of polishing the design at the rate of 50 paise per cm².

Solution:

We have,

Attitude of a tile = 3 cm

Base of a tile = 5 cm

Area of one tile = Attitude x Base = 5 cm x 3 cm = 15 c m²

Area of 280 tiles = 280 x 15 c m² = 4200 c m²

Rate of polishing the tiles at 50 paise per c m² = Rs. 0.5 per c m²

Thus, Total cost of polishing the design = Rs. (4200 x 0.5) = Rs. 2100

Exercise 20.4

Question: 1

Find the area in square centimeters of a triangle whose base and altitude are as under :

(i) base =18 cm, altitude = 3.5 cm

(ii) base = 8 dm, altitude =15 cm

Solution:

We know that the area of a triangle = 1/2 (Base x Height)

(i) Here, base = 18 cm and height = 3.5 cm

Area of the triangle = 1/2 x 18 x 3.5

= 31.5 cm²

(ii) Here, base = 8 dm = (8 x 10) cm = 80 cm [Since 1 dm = 10 cm] and height = 3.5 cm

Area of the triangle = 1/2 x 80 x 15

= 600 c m²

Question: 2

Find the altitude of a triangle whose area is 42 cm² and base is 12 cm.

Solution:

We have,

Attitude of a triangle = (2 x Area)/Base

Here, base = 12 cm and area = 42 cm²

Attitude = (2 x 42)/12 = 7 cm

Question: 3

The area of a triangle is 50 cm². If the altitude is 8 cm, what is its base?

Solution:

We have,

Base of a triangle = (2 x Area)/ Altitude

Here, altitude = 8 cm and area = 50 cm²

Altitude = (2 x 50)/ 8 = 12.5 cm

Question: 4

Find the area of a right angled triangle whose sides containing the right angle are of lengths 20.8 m and 14.7 m.

Solution:

In a right-angled triangle,

The sides containing the right angles are of lengths 20.8 m and 14.7 m.

Let the base be 20.8 m and the height be 141 m.

Then,

Area of a triangle = 1/2 (Base x Height)

= 1/2 (20.8 × 14.7)

= 152.88 m²

Question: 5

The area of a triangle, whose base and the corresponding altitude are 15 cm and 7 cm, is equal to area of a right triangle whose one of the sides containing the right angle is 10.5 cm. Find the other side of this triangle.

Solution:

For the first triangle, we have,

Base = 15 cm and altitude = 7 cm

Thus, area of a triangle = 1/2 (Base x Altitude)

= 1/2 (15 x 7)

= 52.5 cm²

It is given that the area of the first triangle and the second triangle are equal.

Area of the second triangle = 52.5 c m²

One side of the second triangle = 10.5 cm

Therefore, The other side of the second triangle = (2 x Area)/One side of a triangle

= (2x 52.5)/10.5

=10 cm

Hence, the other side of the second triangle will be 10 cm.

Question: 6

A rectangular field is 48 m long and 20 m wide. How many right triangular flower beds, whose sides containing the right angle measure 12 m and 5 m can be laid in this field?

Solution:

We have,

Length of the rectangular field = 48 m

Breadth of the rectangular field = 20 m

Area of the rectangular field = Length x Breadth = 48 m x 20 m = 960 m²

Area of one right triangular flower bed = ½ (12 m x 5m) = 30 m²

Therefore,

Required number of right triangular flower beds = 960 m²/30 m²= 32

Question: 7

In Figure, ABCD is a quadrilateral in which diagonal AC = 84 cm; DL ⊥AC, BM ⊥ AC, DL = 16.5 cm and BM = 12 cm. Find the area of quadrilateral ABCD.

Solution:

We have,

AC = 84 cm, DL = 16.5 cm and BM = 12 cm

Area of triangle ADC = 1/2 (AC x DL) = 1/2 (84 cm x 16.5 cm) = 693 cm²

Area of triangle ABC = 1/2 (AC x BM) = 1/2 (84 cm x 12 cm) = 504 cm²

Hence, Area of quadrilateral ABCD = Area of ADC + Area of ABC = (693 + 504) cm² = 1197 cm²

Question: 8

Find the area of the quadrilateral ABCD given in Figure. The diagonals AC and BD measure 48 m and 32 m respectively and are perpendicular to each other.

Solution:

We have,

Diagonal AC = 48 cm and diagonal BD = 32 m

Area of a quadrilateral = 1/2 (Product of diagonals)

= 1/2(AC x BD) = 1/2 (48 x 32) m²

= (24 x 32) m² = 768 m²

Question: 9

In Fig below, ABCD is a rectangle with dimensions 32 m by 18 m. ADE is a triangle such that EF⊥ AD and EF= 14 cm. Calculate the area of the shaded region.

Solution:

We have,

Area of the rectangle = AB x BC = 32 m x 18 m = 576 m²

Area of the triangle = 1/2 (AD x FE)

= 1/2 (BC x FE) [Since AD = BC]

= 1/2 (18 m x 14 m)

= 9 m x 14 m

= 126 m²

Area of the shaded region = Area of the rectangle – Area of the triangle

= (576 – 126) m²

= 450 m²

Question: 10

In Fig. below, ABCD is a rectangle of length AB = 40 cm and breadth BC = 25 cm. If P, Q, R, S be the mid-points of the sides AB, BC, CD and DA respectively, find the area of the shaded region.

Solution:

Join points PR and SQ. These two lines bisect each other at point 0.

Here, AB = DC = SQ = 40 cm and AD = BC = RP = 25 cm

Also OP = OR = RP/2 = 25/2 = 12.5 cm

From the figure we observed that,

Area of Triangle SPQ = Area of Triangle SRQ

Hence, area of the shaded region = 2 x (Area of SPQ)

= 2 x (1/2 (SQ x OP))

= 2 x (1/2 (40 cm x 12.5 cm))

= 500 cm²

Question: 11

Calculate the area of the quadrilateral ABCD as shown in Figure, given that BD = 42 cm, AC = 28 cm, OD = 12 cm and AC ⊥ BO.

Solution:

We have,

BD = 42 cm, AC = 28 cm, OD= 12 cm

Area of Triangle ABC = 1/2 (AC x OB)

= 1/2 (AC x (BD – OD))

= 1/2 (28 cm x (42 cm – 12 cm))

= 1/2 (28 cm x 30 cm)

= 14 cm x 30 cm

= 420 cm²

Area of Triangle ADC = 1/2 (AC x OD) = 1/2 (28 cm x 12 cm)

= 14 cm x 12 cm

= 168 cm²

Hence, Area of the quadrilateral ABCD = Area of ABC + Area of ADC

= (420 + 168) cm²

= 588 cm²

Question: 12

Find the area of a figure formed by a square of side 8 cm and an isosceles triangle with base as one side of the square and perimeter as 18 cm.

Solution:

Let x cm be one of the equal sides of an isosceles triangle.

Given that the perimeter of the isosceles triangle = 18 cm

Then, x + x + 8 =18

2x = (18 – 8) cm = 10 cm

x = 5 cm

Area of the figure formed = Area of the square + Area of the isosceles triangle

Question: 13

Find the area of Figure, in the following ways: (i) Sum of the areas of three triangles (ii) Area of a rectangle — sum of the areas of five triangles

Solution:

We have,

(i) P is the midpoint of AD.

Thus AP = PD = 25 cm and AB = CD = 20 cm

From the figure, we observed that,

Area of Triangle APB = Area of Triangle PDC

Area of Triangle APB = 1/2 (AB x AP ) = 1/2 (20 cm x 25 cm) = 250 cm²

Area of Triangle PDC = Area of Triangle APB = 250 c m²

Area of Triangle RPQ = 1/2 (Base x Height) = 1/2 (25 cm x 10 cm) = 125 cm²

Hence, Sum of the three triangles = (250 + 250 + 125) cm² = 625 cm²

(ii) Area of the rectangle ABCD = 50 cm x 20 cm = 1000 cm²

Thus, Area of the rectangle – Sum of the areas of three triangles

= (1000 – 625 ) cm² = 375 cm²

Question: 14

Calculate the area of quadrilateral field ABCD as shown in Figure, by dividing it into a rectangle and a triangle.

Solution:

We have,

Join CE , which intersect AD at point E.

Here, AE = ED = BC = 25 m and EC = AB = 30 m

Area of the rectangle ABCE = AB x BC = 30 m x 25 m = 750 m²

Area of Triangle CED = 1/2 (EC x ED) = 1/2 ( 30 m x 25 m) = 375 m²

Hence, Area of the quadrilateral ABCD = (750 + 375) m² = 1125 m²

Question: 15

Calculate the area of the pentagon ABCDE, where AB = AE and with dimensions as shown in Figure.

Solution:

Join BE.

Area of the rectangle BCDE = CD x DE

= 10 cm x 12 cm

= 120 c m²

Area of Triangle ABE = 1/2 (BE x height of the triangle)

= 1/2 (10 cm x (20 – 12) cm)

= 1/2 (10 cm x 8 cm)

= 40 cm²

Hence, Area of the pentagon ABCDE = (120 + 40) cm² = 160 cm²

Question: 16

The base of a triangular field is three times its altitude. If the cost of cultivating the field at Rs 24.60 per hectare is Rs 332.10, find its base and height.

Solution:

Let altitude of the triangular field be h m

Then base of the triangular field is 3h m.

Area of the triangular field = 1/2 (h x 3h )=3h²/2 m² —–(i)

The rate of cultivating the field is Rs 24.60 per hectare.

Therefore,

Area of the triangular field = 332.10 /24.60

= 13.5 hectare = 135000 m² [Since 1 hectare = 10000 m²] —–(ii)

From equation (i) and (ii) we have,

3h²/2 = 135000 m²

3h² = 135000 x 2 = 270000 m²

h² = 270000/3 m²= 90000 m² = (300 m)²

h = 300 m

Hence, Height of the triangular field = 300 m and base of the triangular field = 3 x 300 m = 900 m

Question: 17

A wall is 4.5 m long and 3 m high. It has two equal windows, each having form and dimensions as shown in Figure. below. Find the cost of painting the wall (leaving windows) at the rate of Rs 15 per m².

Solution:

We have,

Length of a wall = 4.5 m

Breadth of the wall = 3 m

Area of the wall = Length x Breadth

= 4.5 m x 3 m = 13.5 m²

From the figure we observed that,

Area of the window = Area of the rectangle + Area of the triangle

= (0.8 m x 0.5 m) + (12 x 0.8 m x 0.2 m) [Since 1 m = 100 cm]

= 0.4 m² + 0.08 m²

= 0.48 m²

Area of two windows = 2 x 0.48 = 0.96 m²

Area of the remaining wall (leaving windows) = (13.5 – 0.96) m²

= 12.54 m²

Cost of painting the wall per m² = Rs. 15

Hence, the cost of painting on the wall = Rs. (15 x 12.54)

= Rs. 188.1

(In the book, the answer is given for one window, but we have 2 windows.)
