A) 14:9	B) 13:12
C) 16:5	D) 17:13

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 16:5

Explanation:

Area of a square SxS = 1024 => S = 32 cm
Length of the rectangle = 32x2 cm = 64 cm
Breadth of the rectangle = 32 - 12 = 20 cm
Required ratio = 64 : 20 = 16 : 5

Q:

The circumferences of two circles are 264 meters and 352 meters. Find the difference between the areas of the larger and the smaller circles ?

A) 2413 sq.m	B) 1234 sq.m
C) 4312 sq.m	D) 2143 sq.m

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 4312 sq.m

Explanation:

Let the radii of the smaller and the larger circles be 's' m and 'l' m respectively.

$2 πs$ = 264 and $2 πl$ = 352

s = $\frac{264}{2 π}$ and l = $\frac{352}{2 π}$

Difference between the areas = $π l^{2} - π s^{2}$

= $π (\frac{176^{2}}{π^{2}} - \frac{132^{2}}{π^{2}})$

= $\frac{1762}{π} - \frac{1322}{π}$

= (176 - 132)(176 + 132) / $π$

= (44 x 308) / (22/7) = 4312 sq.m
