A plot of land in the form of a rectangle has dimension 240m x180m. A drainlet 10m wide is dug all around it (on 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
Answer: A Whole surface area = (2* 22/7 * 25/2 * 20) +(2* 22/7 * 23/2 * 20) => 3068 sq m.

Q. No. 17:
Consider the volumes of the following 1). A parallelopiped of length 5cm, breadth 3cm and height 4cm 2). A cube having each side 4 cm 3). A cylinder of radius 3cm and length 3 cm 4). A sphere of radius 3cm. The volumes of these in the decreasing order is
Answer: D Volume of parallelopiped = 5*4*3 = 60 cm3 Volume of cube = 4*4*4= 64 cm3 Volume of cylinder= pie *3*3*3 = 84.8 cm3 Volume of sphere= 4/3 * pie* 3*3*3 = 113 cm3
Q. No. 18:
Four horses are tied on the four corners of a square field of 14 m length so that each horse can just touch the other two horses. They were able to graze in the area accessible to them for 11 days. For how many days is the ungrazed area sufficient for them?
Answer: A Total area of the square field = 14*14 = 196 sq m. Area grazed by four horses in 11 days = 4* pie/4 * 7*7 = 154 sq m. Ungrazed area = 196-154 = 42 sq m This area is sufficient for (11*42)/154 = 3 days.
