Latest Area MCQ Objective Questions
Area Question 1:
A(1,2,−1), B(2,5,−2) and C(4,4,−3) are three vertices of a rectangle. What is the area of the rectangle?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Area Question 1 Detailed Solution
Calculation:
Given,
Points A(1, 2, -1), B(2, 5, -2), and C(4, 4, -3) are three vertices of the rectangle.
We need to find the area of the rectangle formed by the vectors \( AB \) and \( BC \).
Length of vector \( AB \):
\( \text{Length of AB} = \sqrt{(2 - 1)^2 + (5 - 2)^2 + (-2 - (-1))^2} \)
\(= \sqrt{1^2 + 3^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{11} \)
Length of vector \( BC \):
\( \text{Length of BC} = \sqrt{(4 - 2)^2 + (4 - 5)^2 + (-3 - (-2))^2} \)
\( = \sqrt{2^2 + (-1)^2 + (-1)^2} = \sqrt{6} \)
Area of the rectangle is the product of the lengths of vectors \( AB \) and \( BC \):
\( \text{Area} = \sqrt{11} \times \sqrt{6} = \sqrt{66} \)
∴ The area of the rectangle is \( \sqrt{66} \) square units.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.
Area Question 2:
Let a rectangle ABCD of sides 2 and 4 be inscribed in another rectangle PQRS such that the vertices of the rectangle ABCD lie on the sides of the rectangle PQRS. Let a and b be the sides of the rectangle PQRS when its area is maximum. Then (a + b)2 is equal to :
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Area Question 2 Detailed Solution
Calculation:
∴ Area =(4 cos θ + 2 sin θ)(2 cos θ + 4 sin θ)
= 8 cos2 θ + 16 sin θ cos θ + 4 sin θ cos θ + 8 sin2θ
= 8 + 20 sin θ cos θ
= 8 + 10 sin 2θ
When sin 2θ = 1
⇒ θ = π/4
∴ Area = Areamax = 8 + 10 = 18
(a + b)2 = (4 cos θ + 2 sin θ + 2 cos θ + 4 sin θ)2
= (6 cos θ + 6 sin θ)2
= 36(sin θ + cos θ)2
= \(36(\sqrt{2})^2 \)
= 72
∴ The value of (a + b)2 is equal to 72.
The correct answer is Option 1.
Area Question 3:
The ratio between the length and the breadth of a rectangular park is 3 ∶ 2. If a man cycling along the boundary of the park at the speed of 12 km/hr completes one round in 8 minutes, then the area of the park (in sq. m) is:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Area Question 3 Detailed Solution
Concept:
- Distance = Speed × Time
- Perimeter of rectangle = 2(Length + Breadth)
- Area of rectangle = length × breadth
- 1 km = 1000 m
- 1 hour = 60 minutes
Explanation:
According to the question,
A man cycling along the boundary of the park at the speed of 12 km/hr (12 km/hr = \(\frac{12000}{60}\) m/minutes ) completes one round in 8 minutes
i.e. Perimeter = Distance Travelled in 8 minutes
⇒ Perimeter = \(\frac{12000}{60}× 8 \) (As Distance = Speed × Time)
⇒ Perimeter = 1600 m
Now According to the question,
We know,
The ratio between the length and the breadth of a rectangular park is 3 ∶ 2
Let Length = 3x and Breadth = 2x.
Now,
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(Length + Breadth)
So, Perimeter = 2(3x + 2x)
⇒ Perimeter = 2 × 5x
⇒ 1600 = 10x
⇒ x = 160
So, Length = 3x = 3 × 160 = 480 m
Breadth = 2x = 2 × 160 = 320 m
Therefore,
Area of rectangle = length × breadth
⇒ Area = 480 × 320 m2
⇒ Area = 153600 m2
Area Question 4:
The area of a trapezium is 180 cm² and its height is 9 cm. If one of the parallel sides is longer than the other by 6 cm, sum of the two parallel sides is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Area Question 4 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Area of Trapezium
Area of the trapezium = {\(\frac{1}{2}\) × (a + b) × h}
Where a and b are two parallel sides of trapezium and h = perpendicular distance between a and b.
Calculation:
Let one of the parallel sides be of length x cm. Later, the length of the other parallel side is (x + 6) cm.
Therefore, area of the trapezium = {\(\frac{1}{2}\) × (2x + 6) × 9} cm2 = {\(\frac{1}{2}\) × (2x + 6) × 9} cm2 = (9x + 27) cm2
But, the area of the trapezium is given as 180 cm2.
⇒ 9x + 27=180
⇒ 9x = 180 - 27 = 153
⇒ x = \(\frac{153}{9}\) = 17
The two parallel sides are of lengths 17 cm and (17 + 6) cm = 23 cm.
∴ Sum of the parallel sides are (17 + 23) = 40 cm.
Area Question 5:
In quadrilateral ABCD, the side BD = 30 cm and the heights of the triangles ABD and BCD are 10 cm and 14 cm, respectively. then the area of the quadrilateral ABCD is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Area Question 5 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Area of Quadrilateral
Area of quadrilateral = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × diagonal × (sum of height of two triangles)
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) × diagonal × (h1 + h2)
Calculation:
Diagonal = BD = 30 cm
Heights, h1 = 10 cm & h2 = 14 cm
Sum of the heights of the triangles = h1 + h2 = 10 + 14 = 24 cm
Thus, area of quadrilateral ABCD = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × diagonal × (sum of height of two triangles)
= \(\frac{(30 \times 24)}{2}\) = 360 cm2
∴ Area of the quadrilateral ABCD is 360 cm2

Area Question 8 Detailed Solution

The diagonal of a parallelogram divides it into two parts of equal areas.
Area of triangle having three coordinates (x1, y1), (x2, y2), (x3, y3)
Area = (1/2) | [x1 (y2 – y3 ) + x2 (y3 – y1 ) + x3(y1 – y2)] |
Calculation:
Here in the figure diagonal AC divides ABCD into two equal parts
Area(ABCD) = 2 × Area (ΔABC) ----(i)
Area (ΔABC) = (1/2) | [1 (2 - 5) + (-1) (5 - 3) + 3 (3 - 2)] |
⇒ Area (ΔABC) = (1/2) | [ -3 - 2 + 3 ] |
⇒ Area (ΔABC) = (1/2) | - 2 | = 1
Now, From (i), we get
Area(ABCD) = 2 × 1 = 2
∴ The area of parallelogram is 2 square unit.

2. Distance formula: A(x, y) and B(a, b) be any two points, by distance formula,
\(\rm AB = \sqrt {(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2}\)
3. (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
4. (a - b)2 = a2 - 2ab + b2
Calculation:
Given that, coordinates of point A, C and D are (3, 2), (- 3, 2) and (k, -1) respectively.
Area of Δ ABC = 9 sq. unit
According to the question, |AD| = |CD|
Using distance formula,
\(\sqrt {(3 - k)^2 + (2 + 1)^2}\ =\ \sqrt {(-3 \ -\ k)^2 + (2\ +\ 1)^2}\)
Taking square of both side
⇒ (3 - k)2 + 9 = (3 + k)2 + 9
⇒ 9 + k2 - 6k = 9 + k2 + 6k
⇒ 12k = 0 ⇒ k = 0

Area of rectangle = Length × Width
Calculation:
Given Figure:
As we can see side length of the figure is (a + b) and width is (a + b)
Area of figure = Length × width = (a + b) × (a + b) = (a + b)2 ..... (1)
Now,
Area of figure = Area of section 1 + Area of section 2 + Area of section 3 + Area of section 4

- Distance = Speed × Time
- Perimeter of rectangle = 2(Length + Breadth)
- Area of rectangle = length × breadth
- 1 km = 1000 m
- 1 hour = 60 minutes
Explanation:
According to the question,
A man cycling along the boundary of the park at the speed of 12 km/hr (12 km/hr = \(\frac{12000}{60}\) m/minutes ) completes one round in 8 minutes
i.e. Perimeter = Distance Travelled in 8 minutes
⇒ Perimeter = \(\frac{12000}{60}× 8 \) (As Distance = Speed × Time)
⇒ Perimeter = 1600 m
Now According to the question,
We know,
The ratio between the length and the breadth of a rectangular park is 3 ∶ 2
Let Length = 3x and Breadth = 2x.
Now,
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(Length + Breadth)
So, Perimeter = 2(3x + 2x)
⇒ Perimeter = 2 × 5x
⇒ 1600 = 10x
⇒ x = 160
So, Length = 3x = 3 × 160 = 480 m
Breadth = 2x = 2 × 160 = 320 m
Therefore,
Area of rectangle = length × breadth
⇒ Area = 480 × 320 m2
⇒ Area = 153600 m2
