C Correct answer
Explanation

Let width = w, then length = w + 1. Perimeter = 2(l + w) = 2(w + 1 + w) = 14. So 2(2w + 1) = 14, which means 2w + 1 = 7, so 2w = 6, w = 3. Length = 4. Area = l * w = 4 * 3 = 12 cm^2.

Multiple choice
  1. Statement (I) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (II) B alone is not sufficient

D Correct answer
Explanation

Statement (I) gives the area of a square playground (1600), which allows calculating the side length (40) and thus the perimeter (160). Statement (II) gives the total cost (3200) and the rate per meter (20), allowing the perimeter to be calculated as 3200/20 = 160. Both statements independently provide sufficient information.

Multiple choice
  1. $ \displaystyle (16-\pi )$ $ \displaystyle cm^{2}$
  2. $ \displaystyle (16-4\pi )$ $ \displaystyle cm^{2}$
  3. $ \displaystyle (8-\pi )$ $ \displaystyle cm^{2}$
  4. $ \displaystyle (8-4\pi )$ $ \displaystyle cm^{2}$

C Correct answer
Explanation

The cardboard area is 4 × 2 = 8 cm^2. The largest circle has diameter 2 cm, so its radius is 1 cm and its area is pi cm^2. The remaining area is 8 - pi cm^2.
