Plane Figures Question 1:
A circle of maximum possible area is inscribed in a square. The cost of painting the area inside the circle is ₹6/m², while the cost of painting the area outside the circle (but within the square) is ₹5/m². If the total cost of painting the entire square is ₹370.3, find the side length of the square.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plane Figures Question 1 Detailed Solution
Let the side length of the square be s meters.
Area of square = s²
Radius of the inscribed circle = s/2
Area of the circle = π x (s/2)² = (π x s²) ÷ 4
Cost of painting:
Inside circle: ₹6/m²
Outside circle (within square): ₹5/m²
Total cost =
⇒ ₹6 x (π x s² ÷ 4) + ₹5 x (s² – π x s² ÷ 4)
⇒ ₹6 x (πs² ÷ 4) + ₹5 x [s² – (πs² ÷ 4)]
⇒ ₹6 x (πs² ÷ 4) + ₹5 x s² x (1 – π ÷ 4)
Given total cost = ₹370.3
Now substitute π ≈ 3.14:
⇒ 6 x (3.14 x s² ÷ 4) + 5 x s² x (1 – 3.14 ÷ 4) = 370.3
⇒ 6 x (0.785s²) + 5 x s² x (1 – 0.785)
⇒ 4.71s² + 5 x s² x 0.215 = 370.3
⇒ 4.71s² + 1.075s² = 370.3
⇒ 5.785s² = 370.3
⇒ s² = 370.3 ÷ 5.785 ≈ 64
⇒ s = √64 = 8 meters
Thus, the correct answer is 8m.
Plane Figures Question 2:
The area of a rectangle increases by 8 m2 if its length is increased by 5 m and breadth is decreased by 7 m. If the length is decreased by 5 m and breadth is increased by 8 m, then its area increases by 33 m2. What is the perimeter of the original rectangle (in m)?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plane Figures Question 2 Detailed Solution
Given:
Scenario 1: Length increased by 5 m, Breadth decreased by 7 m, Area increases by 8 m2.
Scenario 2: Length decreased by 5 m, Breadth increased by 8 m, Area increases by 33 m2.
Formula used:
Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth (l × b)
Perimeter of rectangle = 2 × (Length + Breadth)
Calculations:
Let the original length of the rectangle be 'l' meters and the original breadth be 'b' meters.
Original Area = l × b
From Scenario 1:
New length = (l + 5) m
New breadth = (b - 7) m
New Area = (l + 5)(b - 7)
Given that the area increases by 8 m2:
(l + 5)(b - 7) = lb + 8
⇒ lb - 7l + 5b - 35 = lb + 8
⇒ -7l + 5b = 8 + 35
⇒ -7l + 5b = 43 (Equation 1)
From Scenario 2:
New length = (l - 5) m
New breadth = (b + 8) m
New Area = (l - 5)(b + 8)
Given that the area increases by 33 m2:
(l - 5)(b + 8) = lb + 33
⇒ lb + 8l - 5b - 40 = lb + 33
⇒ 8l - 5b = 33 + 40
⇒ 8l - 5b = 73 (Equation 2)
Now, we have a system of two linear equations:
1) -7l + 5b = 43
2) 8l - 5b = 73
Add Equation 1 and Equation 2:
(-7l + 5b) + (8l - 5b) = 43 + 73
⇒ -7l + 8l + 5b - 5b = 116
⇒ l = 116
Substitute the value of l into Equation 1:
-7(116) + 5b = 43
⇒ -812 + 5b = 43
⇒ 5b = 43 + 812
⇒ 5b = 855
⇒ b = 171
So, the original length (l) = 116 m and original breadth (b) = 171 m.
Perimeter of the original rectangle = 2 × (l + b)
⇒ Perimeter = 2 × (116 + 171)
⇒ Perimeter = 2 × 287
⇒ Perimeter = 574 m
∴ The perimeter of the original rectangle is 574 m.
Plane Figures Question 3:
The sides of a rectangular field are 169 m and 154 m long. Its area is equal to the area of a circular field. What is the circumference (in m) of the circular field?
Take \(\pi\) = \(\frac{22}{7}\)
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plane Figures Question 3 Detailed Solution
Given:
Length of rectangular field = 169 m
Breadth of rectangular field = 154 m
Area of rectangular field = Area of circular field
\(\pi = \dfrac{22}{7}\)
Formula used:
Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth
Area of circle = \(\pi r^2\)
Circumference of circle = \(2\pi r\)
Calculation:
Area of rectangle = 169 × 154
⇒ Area of rectangle = 26026 m2
Area of circle = \(\pi r^2\)
⇒ 26026 = \(\dfrac{22}{7} \times r^2\)
⇒ \(\dfrac{26026 \times 7}{22} = r^2\)
⇒ \(\dfrac{182182}{22} = r^2\)
⇒ r2 = 8281
⇒ r = \(\sqrt{8281}\)
⇒ r ≈ 91 m
Circumference of circle = \(2\pi r\)
⇒ Circumference = 2 × \(\dfrac{22}{7}\) × 91
⇒ Circumference = \(\dfrac{4004}{7}\)
⇒ Circumference ≈ 572 m
∴ The correct answer is option (4).
Plane Figures Question 4:
The sides (in cm) of a right triangle are (x − 13), (x − 26) and x. Its area (in cm2) is:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plane Figures Question 4 Detailed Solution
Given:
Sides of right triangle: (x − 13), (x − 26), and x cm
Formula used:
Pythagoras Theorem: Hypotenuse2 = Base2 + Height2
Area = (1/2) × Base × Height
Calculation:
Hypotenuse = x, Base = (x - 26), Height = (x - 13)
Assume hypotenuse = x
⇒ x2 = (x − 13)2 + (x − 26)2
⇒ x2 = (x2 − 26x + 169) + (x2 − 52x + 676)
⇒ x2 = 2x2 − 78x + 845
⇒ Bring all terms to one side:
⇒ x2 − 2x2 + 78x − 845 = 0
⇒ −x2 + 78x − 845 = 0
⇒ x2 − 78x + 845 = 0
Solve using quadratic formula:
x = [78 ± √(782 − 4 × 1 × 845)] ÷ 2
x = [78 ± √(6084 − 3380)] ÷ 2
x = [78 ± √2704] ÷ 2
x = [78 ± 52] ÷ 2
⇒ x = (78 + 52)/2 = 130 ÷ 2 = 65 (valid)
⇒ x = (78 − 52)/2 = 26 ÷ 2 = 13 (invalid as sides become 0)
If x = 13, then one side is (x - 13) = (13 - 13) = 0, which is not possible for a triangle. So, x ≠ 13.
So, x = 65
Now, find the lengths of the sides:
Side 1 = x - 13 = 65 - 13 = 52 cm
Side 2 = x - 26 = 65 - 26 = 39 cm
Hypotenuse = x = 65 cm
Area = (1/2) × 39 × 52 = 1014 cm2
∴ Area = 1014 cm2
Plane Figures Question 5:
In a circle, the length of a chord is 12 cm and the perpendicular distance from the centre of the circle to the chord is 5 cm. What is the radius of the circle? (Rounded up to two decimal places.)
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plane Figures Question 5 Detailed Solution
Given:
Length of the chord = 12 cm
Perpendicular distance from the center of the circle to the chord = 5 cm
Formula Used:
Radius of the circle can be calculated using the relationship between the chord, perpendicular distance, and radius:
\(r^2 = \left(\frac{\text{Chord Length}}{2}\right)^2 + \text{Perpendicular Distance}^2\)
Calculation:
Chord Length / 2 = 12 / 2 = 6 cm
Perpendicular Distance = 5 cm
Substitute values into the formula:
⇒ r2 = 62 + 52
⇒ r2 = 36 + 25
⇒ r2 = 61
Find r:
⇒ r = √61
⇒ r ≈ 7.81 cm
The radius of the circle is approximately 7.81 cm.

Six chords of equal lengths are drawn inside a semicircle of diameter 14√2 cm. Find the area of the shaded region?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plane Figures Question 6 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Diameter of semicircle = 14√2 cm
Radius = 14√2/2 = 7√2 cm
Total no. of chords = 6
Concept:
Since the chords are equal in length, they will subtend equal angles at the centre. Calculate the area of one sector and subtract the area of the isosceles triangle formed by a chord and radius, then multiply the result by 6 to get the desired result.
Formula used:
Area of sector = (θ/360°) × πr2
Area of triangle = 1/2 × a × b × Sin θ
Calculation:
The angle subtended by each chord = 180°/no. of chord
⇒ 180°/6
⇒ 30°
Area of sector AOB = (30°/360°) × (22/7) × 7√2 × 7√2
⇒ (1/12) × 22 × 7 × 2
⇒ (77/3) cm2
Area of triangle AOB = 1/2 × a × b × Sin θ
⇒ 1/2 × 7√2 × 7√2 × Sin 30°
⇒ 1/2 × 7√2 × 7√2 × 1/2
⇒ 49/2 cm2
∴ Area of shaded region = 6 × (Area of sector AOB - Area of triangle AOB)
⇒ 6 × [(77/3) – (49/2)]
⇒ 6 × [(154 – 147)/6]
⇒ 7 cm2
∴ Area of shaded region is 7 cm2
There is a rectangular garden of 220 metres × 70 metres. A path of width 4 metres is built around the garden. What is the area of the path?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plane Figures Question 7 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFFormula used
Area = length × breath
Calculation
The garden EFGH is shown in the figure. Where EF = 220 meters & EH = 70 meters.
The width of the path is 4 meters.
Now the area of the path leaving the four colored corners
= [2 × (220 × 4)] + [2 × (70 × 4)]
= (1760 + 560) square meter
= 2320 square meters
Now, the area of 4 square colored corners:
4 × (4 × 4)
{∵ Side of each square = 4 meter}
= 64 square meter
The total area of the path = the area of the path leaving the four colored corners + square colored corners
⇒ Total area of the path = 2320 + 64 = 2384 square meter
∴ Option 4 is the correct answer.
The width of the path around a square field is 4.5 m and its area is 105.75 m2. Find the cost of fencing the field at the rate of Rs. 100 per meter.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plane Figures Question 8 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
The width of the path around a square field = 4.5 m
The area of the path = 105.75 m2
Formula used:
The perimeter of a square = 4 × Side
The area of a square = (Side)2
Calculation:
Let, each side of the field = x
Then, each side with the path = x + 4.5 + 4.5 = x + 9
So, (x + 9)2 - x2 = 105.75
⇒ x2 + 18x + 81 - x2 = 105.75
⇒ 18x + 81 = 105.75
⇒ 18x = 105.75 - 81 = 24.75
⇒ x = 24.75/18 = 11/8
∴ Each side of the square field = 11/8 m
The perimterer = 4 × (11/8) = 11/2 m
So, the total cost of fencing = (11/2) × 100 = Rs. 550
∴ The cost of fencing of the field is Rs. 550
Shortcut TrickIn such types of questions,
Area of path outside the Square is,
⇒ (2a + 2w)2w = 105.75
here, a is a side of a square and w is width of a square
⇒ (2a + 9)9 = 105.75
⇒ 2a + 9 = 11.75
⇒ 2a = 2.75
Perimeter of a square = 4a
⇒ 2 × 2a = 2 × 2.75 = 5.50
costing of fencing = 5.50 × 100 = 550
∴ The cost of fencing of the field is Rs. 550

How many revolutions per minute a wheel of car will make to maintain the speed of 132 km per hour? If the radius of the wheel of car is 14 cm.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plane Figures Question 12 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Radius of the wheel of car = 14 cm
Speed of car = 132 km/hr
Formula Used:
Circumference of the wheel = \(2\pi r\)
1 km = 1000 m
1m = 100 cm
1hr = 60 mins.

Total cost of fencing = Rs. 10080
Cost of fencing per metre = Rs. 20
Concept used:
Perimeter = Total cost / Cost per metre
Area of the pavement = area of outer square - area of inner square.
Calculation:
According to the question,
Total cost of fencing = 10080
Perimeter of square = 10080/20 = 504 m
⇒ Side of square = 504/4 = 126 m
