  • Question 136 :
  • What is the area of the circular field

    I.Area of the largest square that can be inscribed in the given circular field is 392 cm2

    II.Area of the smallest square in which the given circular field can be inscribed is 784 cm2

  • If the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question.
  • If the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.
  • If the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
  • If the data given in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
  • If the data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
  • Explanation:

    I.

    Let the side of the square = acm

    According to statement,

    a2= 392 cm2

    a= 19.79cm

    Diagonal of the square = a√2

    =19.79√2 cm

    Radius of the circle = Diagonal/2

    = 19.79×√2/2

    =13.99=14 cm

    ∴ Are of the circle =πr2

    =22/7×(14)2

    =22×14×14/7

    =616cm2

    II.

    Let the side of the square = acm

    and the radius of the circle = a/2 cm

    According to statement,

    a2= 784 cm2

    a=28cm

    ∴Area of the circle =π(a/2)2

    =22/7×14×14= 616cm2

    Hence, the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.

  • Question 138 :
  • What is the curved surface area of the right circular cylinder

    I.Area of the base of the cylinder is 616 cm2

    II.Volume of the cylinder is 9240 cm2,

  • If the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.
  • If the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.
  • If the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
  • If the data given in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
  • If the data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
  • Explanation:

    I. Given,

    πr2= 616 cm2

    22/7×r2=616

    r2=616×7/22

    r=14cm

    II. Given, πr2h=9240

    22/7×14×14×h = 9240

    h = 420/28

    h = 15 cm

    Now, curved surface area of the cylinder = 2πrh

    = 2×22/7×14×15 = 1320 cm2

    Hence, the data in both statement I and II together are necessary to answer the question.

  • Question 142 :
  • I.  x2-6x+9=0

    II 4y2-15y+14=0

  • If x=y
  • If x≤y
  • If x< y
  • If x >y
  • If x=y or the relationship cannot be established.
  • Explanation:

    I. 

    x2-6x+9=0

    x2-3x-3x+9=0

    (x-3)2=0

    x=3

    II.

    4y2-15y+14=0

    4y2-8y-7y+14=0

    4y(y-8)-7(y-8)=0

    (y-8)(4y-7)=0

    y=8,7/4

    ∴ Relationship between x and y can not be determined.

  • Question 143 :
  • I. 2x2-9x+4=0

    II y2-14y+40=0

  • If x >y
  • If x< y
  • If x≥y
  • If x≤y
  • If x=y or the relationship cannot be established.
  • Explanation:

    I. 

    2x2-9x+4=0

    2x2-8x-x+4=0

    2x(x-4)-1(x-4)=0

    (x-4)(2x-1)=0

    x=4,1/2

    II.

    y2-14y+40=0

    y2-10y-4y+40=0

    y(y-10)-4(y-10)=0

    (y-4)(y-10)=0

    y=4,10

    ∴x≤y

  • Question 144 :
  • I. x2-10x+25=0

    II y2-9y+20=0

  • If x >y
  • If x< y
  • If x≥y
  • If x≤y
  • If x=y or the relationship cannot be established.
  • Explanation:

    I. x2-10x+25=0

     x2-5x-5x+25=0

    x(x-5)-5(x-5)=0

    (x-5)2=0

    x=5

    II.  y2-9y+20=0

    y2-4y-5y+20=0

    y(y-4)-5(y-4)=0

    (y-4)(y-5)=0

    y=4,5

    ∴x≥y

  • Question 145 :
  • I. 4x2-13x+10=0

    II 2y2-15y+22=0

  • If x >y
  • If x< y
  • If x≥y
  • If x≤y
  • If x=y or the relationship cannot be established.
  • Explanation:

    I. 4x2-13x+10=0

    4x2-8x-5x+10=0

    4x(x-2)-5(x-2)=0

    (x-2)(4x-5)=0

    x=2,5/4

    II. 2y2-15y+22=0

    2y2-4y-11y+22=0

    2y(y-2)-11(y-2)=0

    (y-2)(2y-11)=0

    y=2,11/2

    ∴x≤y

  • Question 146 :
  • I. 30x2+17x+2=0

    II 3y2+8y+4=0

  • If x >y
  • If x< y
  • If x≥y
  • If x≤y
  • If x=y or the relationship cannot be established. I.
  • Explanation:

    I. 30x2+17x+2=0

    30x2+5x+12x+2=0

    5x(6x+1)+2(6x+1)=0

    (5x+2)(6x+1)=0

    x=-2/5,-1/6

    II. 3y2+8y+4=0

     3y2+6y+2y+4=0

    3y(y+2)+2(y+2)=0

    (y+2)(3y+2)=0

    y=-2,-2/3

    ∴x >y

  • Question 147 :
  • I. 6x2+11x+3=0

    II 20y2+9y+1=0

  • If x >y
  • If x< y
  • If x≥y
  • If x≤y
  • If x=y or the relationship cannot be established.
  • Explanation:

    I. 6x2+11x+3=0

    6x2+2x+9x+3=0

    2x(3x+1)+3(3x+1)=0

    (3x+1)(2x+3)=0

    x=1/3,3/2

    II. 20y2+9y+1=0

    20y2+5y+4y+1=0

    5y(4y+1)+1(4y+1)=0

    (4y+1)(5Y+1)=0

    y=-1/4,-1/5

    ∴x< y
