None of these
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Let the length of rectangle = 8x cm and breadth = 7x cm.
Perimeter of rectangle = circumference of circle = 2(8x + 7x) = 60
x = 2
Then, length = 16 cm and breadth = 14 cm.
Now, area of the rectangle = 224 cm2.

D
Correct answer
Explanation
The sector has taken out from a circle. Therefore, radii of both will be same.
So, area of sector = (pie*r2*angle)/360 degree = 154/6 = (22*r2*60)/7*360 = 154/6
r = 7 cm
Therefore, radius of circle = 7 cm.
-
Area of a semicircle is (pi * radius * radius) units.
-
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 * (length + breadth) units.
-
Area of the square = (side * side) sq. units.
-
Value of pi is 22/7 or 3.14.
-
All of the above
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Though the formulation is correct but the unit of area is sq. units. So it is the incorrect option as asked in the question.

-
11 m
-
544 m
-
50 m
A
Correct answer
Explanation
This is the correct answer. Since a semicircular garden with its diameter as one of the lengths of rectangular house is to be constructed, it means length of the house = diameter of garden
Area of the house = 2200 sq. m
Breadth of the house is = 11 m
Area of the house = length * breadth
2200 sq. m = length * 11 m
(2200/11) m = length
200 m = length
Length = diameter = 200 m
Radius of the semicircular garden is = diameter/2 = (200/2) m
= 100 m
Ans. 100 m

-
18 cm
B
Correct answer
Explanation
This is the right answer as:-
Diameter of semicircular silver wire = 70 cm
Radius of semicircular silver wire = 70/2 = 35 cm
Circumference of the gold ring = circumference of the semicircular silver wire (given in the question)
2 * pi * radius of gold ring = pi * radius of the silver wireradius of gold ring
= (pi * radius of the silver wire)/(2 * pi) radius of gold ring
= 35 cm/2
= 17.5 cm
Ans. 17.5 cm
-
2 * pi * r * r ; 1/2
-
4 * pi * r * r ; 1/4
-
pi * r * r ; 1/4
-
(pi * r * r)/2 ; 1/2
-
2 * pi * r * r ; 1/4
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Diameter of old circle = 2 r
Radius = r
Area = pi * radius * radius
Radius of new circle = 2 r
Area of new circle = pi * 2 r * 2r
=> pi * 4 * radius * radius
Ratio = area of old circle / area of new circle
=> 1/4
Ans. 4 * pi * r * r ; 1/4

None of these
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Distance covered in 4 rounds = 42 m
Distance covered in 1 round = 42 / 4
=10.5 m
Distance covered in 1 round = Circumference of the circle
= >2 * pi * radius = 10.5 m
radius =10.5 m / (2 * pi) = 1.7 m
Area of the circular shape = pi * radius * radius
=>3.14 * 1.7 * 1.7
= 9.1 sq. m.
Ans. 9.1 sq. m

-
30.41 cm
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Area of square sheet = 169 sq.cm
Side x side = 169 sq.cm
Side = 13 cm
Since, square is divided into four circles, so radius of each circle = 1/4 of side of the square
= 13/4 = 3.25 cm
Circumference of each circle = 2 x pi x radius
2 x 3.14 x 3.25 cm = 20.41 cm
Ans. 20.41 cm

-
Count2
C
Correct answer
Explanation
In programming, identifiers cannot begin with a digit. '4th semester' starts with the number 4, making it invalid. Valid identifiers like 'Area_of_circle', 'Pi-value', and 'Count2' start with letters or underscores.
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Of all the triangles inscribed in a semi-circle, with the diameter as base, the one with the greatest area is the one with the largest altitude (the radius), i.e. the isosceles triangle. Thus, the area = 1/2 * 2r * r = r2. Hence, option (1) is correct.

66 sq. m
-
192.5 sq. m
-
162.25 sq. m
-
60 sq. m
-
None of these
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Let the length of rectangle be L.
Then, 2(L + 5.5) = 35
Or 2L = 24 L = 12 m
Area of rectangle = 12*5.5 = 66 sq m
So, area of circle = area of rectangle = 66 sq. m

B
Correct answer
Explanation
Wardrop's formula for roundabout capacity: C = (284 * w * (1 + e/w) * (1 - p/3)) / (1 + w/l). Given w=14, e=8.4, l=35, p = 1000/2000 = 0.5. C = (284 * 14 * (1 + 8.4/14) * (1 - 0.5/3)) / (1 + 14/35) = (3976 * 1.6 * 0.833) / 1.4 = 5298 / 1.4 = 3784. The closest value is 3700.
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Area of circle with radius 6 cm = $\pi$(6)2 = 36$\pi$ cm2.
Area of circle with radius 8 cm = $\pi$ (8)2 = 64$\pi$ cm2.
Total area of both circles = 36$\pi$ cm2 + 64$\pi$cm2 = 100$\pi$ cm2.
So, the radius of the new circle be R.
$\pi$R2 = 100$\pi$cm2
R2 = 100 cm2 = R $\Rightarrow$ 10 cm.
