    A. 10 m B. 5 m C. 50 m D. 100 m

Answer - Option B
Explanation -
Let width of the garden be x metres
i.e, Length of the garden = [latex]\frac{100}{x}[/latex]
i.e, [latex]\frac{100}{x}[/latex] + x + x = 30
[latex]{x}^{2}[/latex] – 15x + 50 = 0
x = 10, x = 5
x = 10 is omitted, because in that case, the garden will become square which is contrary to what is given
i.e, Width of the garden = 5 metres

9. Water flows out through a circular pipe whose internal diameter is 2 cm, at the rate of 6 metres per second into a cylindrical tank, the radius of whose base is 60 cm. By how much will be level of water rise in 30 minutes?
    A. 2 m B. 4 m C. 3 m D. 5 m

Answer - Option C
Explanation -
Volume of water in the tank = [latex]\pi {(60)}^{2}[/latex] × x
where, x = level of the water
Water released by pipe in 30 minutes
= [latex]\pi * {1}^{2}[/latex] × 600 × 30 × 60
Equating the two and solving, we get
[latex]\pi {(60)}^{2}[/latex] × x = [latex]\pi * {1}^{2}[/latex] × 600 × 30 × 60
x = 300 cm = 3 m
10. A plot of land in the form of a rectangle has a dimension 240 m × 180 m. A drainlet 10 m wide is dug all around it (one the outside) and the earth dug out is evenly spread over the plot, increasing its surface level by 25 cm. The depth of the drainlet is
    A. 1.225 m B. 1.229 m C. 1.227 m D. 1.223 m

Answer - Option C
Explanation -
Volume of the earth taken out = Volume of the earth on plot
= [{260 × 200} – {240 × 180}] × x
= 240 × 180 × [latex]\frac{1}{4}[/latex]
Solving, we get x = 1.227.

x = 12
Now, perimeter of the equilateral triangle
= perimeter of the square
= 4x = 48 cm
i.e, Side of the equilateral triangle = [latex]\frac{48}{3}[/latex] = 16 cm
Area of equilateral triangle
= [latex]\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} * {16}^{2} = 64 \sqrt{3}{cm}^{2} [/latex]

13. What is the area of the inner equilateral triangle if the side of the outermost square is ‘a’ ? (ABCD is a square)
    A. [latex]\frac{3 \sqrt{3} {a}^{2}}{32}[/latex] B. [latex] \frac{3 \sqrt{3} {a}^{2}}{64}[/latex] C. [latex]\frac{5 \sqrt{3} {a}^{2}}{32}[/latex] D. [latex]\frac{\sqrt{3 {a}^{2}} }{64}[/latex]

Answer - Option A
14. An edge of a cube measures 10 cm. If the largest possible cone is cut out of this cube, then volume of the cone is
    A. 260 [latex]{cm}^{3}[/latex] B. 260.9 [latex]{cm}^{3}[/latex] C. 261.9 [latex]{cm}^{3}[/latex] D. 262.7 [latex]{cm}^{3}[/latex]

Answer - Option C
Explanation -
Height of the cone = 10 cm
Radius of the base = [latex]\frac{10}{2}[/latex] cm = 5 cm
Hence volume of the largest possible cone cut out of this cube
= [latex]\frac{1}{3} * \frac{22}{7} * {(5)}^{2}* 10 = 261.8 {cm}^{3}[/latex]
15. In the figur e, ABCD is a square with side 10. BFD is an arc of a circle with centre C. BGD is an arc of a circle with centre A. What is the area of the shaded region ?
    A. [latex]100 – 50 \pi[/latex] B. [latex]100 – 25 \pi[/latex] C. [latex]50 \pi - 100[/latex] D. [latex]25 \pi - 100[/latex]

Answer - Option C
Explanation -
Area of the portion DFBC = [latex]\frac{1}{4} * \pi * {(10)}^{2} = 25 \pi[/latex]
i.e, Area of △BCD = [latex]\frac{1}{2} * 10 * 10 = 50 [/latex]
i.e, Area of the portion DFBOD = Area of the portion DFBC – Area of △BCD
= 25[latex]\pi[/latex] – 50
i.e, Area of the portion DFBGD
= 2 * Area of the portion DFBOD
= 2(25[latex]\pi[/latex] – 50) = 50[latex]\pi[/latex] – 100
