Area Aptitude Test Paper 1
1) What is the area of a triangle with base 5 meters and height 10 meters?
- 20 square meters
- 35 square meters
- 25 square meters
- 40 square meters
Answer: C
Explanation:
Area of a triangle = ½ * base * height
So, the area = ½* 5 * 10
                  =25 square meters
2) The base of a right-angled triangle is 10 and hypotenuse is 20. What is its area?
- 52 meters
- 58 meters
- 68 meters
- 60 meters
Answer: D
Explanation:
The area of a right angled triangle = ½ * base * height
Base = 10, Hypotenuse = 20
Height2 = Hypotenuse2 – Base2
                  = 202 – 162
                  = 400 – 256
     Height2 = 144
     Height = 12
Area = ½ * base * height
              = ½ * 10 * 12
              = 60 meters
3) The sides of a triangle are in the ratio 10: 24:26 and its perimeter is 300 m. What is its area?
- 2500 m2
- 3000 m2
- 3500 m2
- 4000 m2
Answer: A
Explanation:
Let the sides are 10x, 24x, and 26x.
The perimeter is 300 m.
So, 10x + 24x + 26x = 300
60x = 300
x= 5
So, the sides are 10 *5 = 50 meters
24 * 5 = 100 meters
26 * 5 = 130 meters
102 + 242 = 262 so, it is a right triangle.
       100 + 576 = 676
The area of a right triangle is = 1/2 * base * height
              = 1/2 * 50 * 100
              = 2500 m2
4) The ratio of length and breadth of a rectangular park is 4:2. If a cat running along the boundary of the park at the speed of 18 km/hr completes one round in 10 minutes, find the area of the park in square meters.
- 50000 sq. m.
- 45000 sq. m.
- 68000 sq. m.
- 55000 sq. m.
Answer: A
Explanation:
One round of the park is equal to the perimeter of the park.
So, by completing one round, the cat covers a distance equal to the perimeter of the park.
Now, Distance or perimeter = speed * time
                                            = 18 * (10/60)
                                            = 3 km or 3000 meters
Let Length = 4x and breadth = 2x
So, Perimeter: 2 (4x + 2x) = 3000
8x + 4x = 3000
12x = 3000
x= 3000/12= 250 meters
So, Length = 4 * 250 = 1000 meters
And, Breadth = 2 * 250 = 500 meters
Area = Length * Breadth
      = 1000 * 500
      = 50000 sq. m.
5) The perimeter of the rectangular field is 480 meters and the ratio between the length and breadth is 5:3. Find the area of the field.
- 7200 m2
- 15000 m2
- 13500 m2
- 54000 m2
Answer: C
Explanation:
Let the length of the rectangle be 5x, and breadth be 3x,
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l +b) = 480
                                         2(5x + 3x) = 480
                                         2 x 8x = 480
                                         16x = 480
                                         x = 480/16 = 30
∴ Length = 5 x 30 = 150 m
                  Breadth = 3 x 30 = 90 m
And, Area of rectangle = L x B
                                     = 150 x 90 = 13500 m2
