Plane Figures Question 1:
A circle of maximum possible area is inscribed in a square. The cost of painting the area inside the circle is ₹6/m², while the cost of painting the area outside the circle (but within the square) is ₹5/m². If the total cost of painting the entire square is ₹370.3, find the side length of the square.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plane Figures Question 1 Detailed Solution
Let the side length of the square be s meters.
Area of square = s²
Radius of the inscribed circle = s/2
Area of the circle = π × (s/2)² = (π × s²) ÷ 4
Cost of painting:
Inside circle: ₹6/m²
Outside circle (within square): ₹5/m²
Total cost =
⇒ ₹6 × (π × s² ÷ 4) + ₹5 × (s² – π × s² ÷ 4)
⇒ ₹6 × (πs² ÷ 4) + ₹5 × [s² – (πs² ÷ 4)]
⇒ ₹6 × (πs² ÷ 4) + ₹5 × s² × (1 – π ÷ 4)
Given total cost = ₹370.3
Now substitute π ≈ 3.14:
⇒ 6 × (3.14 × s² ÷ 4) + 5 × s² × (1 – 3.14 ÷ 4) = 370.3
⇒ 6 × (0.785s²) + 5 × s² × (1 – 0.785)
⇒ 4.71s² + 5 × s² × 0.215 = 370.3
⇒ 4.71s² + 1.075s² = 370.3
⇒ 5.785s² = 370.3
⇒ s² = 370.3 ÷ 5.785 ≈ 64
⇒ s = √64 = 8 meters
Thus, the correct answer is 8m.
Plane Figures Question 2:
The sum of area of square and area of rectangle filed is 4284. Side of square and breadth of rectangle is equal. Perimeter of rectangle is 204 m. Find the total expenditure to cut the grass of rectangular filed at rate of Rs. 2.5 per sq m?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plane Figures Question 2 Detailed Solution
Given:
Sum of area of square and rectangle = 4284 sq m
Side of square = Breadth of rectangle = x
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(L + B) = 204
Formula used:
Area of square = x²
Area of rectangle = L × x
Calculations:
Total area = x² + Lx = 4284
L + x = 102 ⇒ L = 102 - x
x² + x(102 - x) = 4284
x² + 102x - x² = 4284 ⇒ 102x = 4284 ⇒ x = 42
⇒ L = 102 - 42 = 60
⇒ Area of rectangle = 60 × 42 = 2520 sq m
Cost = 2520 × 2.5 = ₹6300
∴ Total expenditure to cut the grass is ₹6300.
Plane Figures Question 3:
The area of a square is 144 m². What is the perimeter of the square?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plane Figures Question 3 Detailed Solution
Given:
Area of the square = 144 m²
Formula used:
Area of a square = Side × Side
Perimeter of a square = 4 × Side
Calculation:
Side = √(Area) = √144 = 12 m
Perimeter = 4 × Side = 4 × 12 = 48 m
∴ The perimeter of the square is: 48 m
Plane Figures Question 4:
The area of a rectangle is 35 cm2. If its length is 7 cm, what is the perimeter of the rectangle?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plane Figures Question 4 Detailed Solution
Given:
Area of rectangle = 35 cm²
Length = 7 cm
Formula used:
Area = Length × Breadth
Perimeter = 2 × (Length + Breadth)
Calculation:
⇒ 35 = 7 × Breadth
⇒ Breadth = 35 ÷ 7 = 5 cm
⇒ Perimeter = 2 × (7 + 5) = 2 × 12 = 24 cm
∴ The perimeter of the rectangle is: 24 cm
Plane Figures Question 5:
If the perimeter of a square is 32 cm, The area of another square is [ x +10] cm2 whose side is 2 times the earlier square. Find the side of square whose perimeter is x cm?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plane Figures Question 5 Detailed Solution
Given:
Perimeter of square = 32 cm
Area of another square = x + 10 cm²
Side of another square = 2 × side of earlier square
Formula used:
Perimeter = 4 × side
Area = side²
Calculations:
⇒ side = 32 ÷ 4 = 8 cm
New side = 2 × 8 = 16 cm
Area = 16² = 256 cm²
x + 10 = 256 ⇒ x = 246
Now, x = 246 ⇒ Perimeter = 246 cm
Side = 246 ÷ 4 = 61.5 cm
∴ Side of square whose perimeter is x cm is 61.5 cm.

Six chords of equal lengths are drawn inside a semicircle of diameter 14√2 cm. Find the area of the shaded region?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plane Figures Question 6 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Diameter of semicircle = 14√2 cm
Radius = 14√2/2 = 7√2 cm
Total no. of chords = 6
Concept:
Since the chords are equal in length, they will subtend equal angles at the centre. Calculate the area of one sector and subtract the area of the isosceles triangle formed by a chord and radius, then multiply the result by 6 to get the desired result.
Formula used:
Area of sector = (θ/360°) × πr2
Area of triangle = 1/2 × a × b × Sin θ
Calculation:
The angle subtended by each chord = 180°/no. of chord
⇒ 180°/6
⇒ 30°
Area of sector AOB = (30°/360°) × (22/7) × 7√2 × 7√2
⇒ (1/12) × 22 × 7 × 2
⇒ (77/3) cm2
Area of triangle AOB = 1/2 × a × b × Sin θ
⇒ 1/2 × 7√2 × 7√2 × Sin 30°
⇒ 1/2 × 7√2 × 7√2 × 1/2
⇒ 49/2 cm2
∴ Area of shaded region = 6 × (Area of sector AOB - Area of triangle AOB)
⇒ 6 × [(77/3) – (49/2)]
⇒ 6 × [(154 – 147)/6]
⇒ 7 cm2
∴ Area of shaded region is 7 cm2
There is a rectangular garden of 220 metres × 70 metres. A path of width 4 metres is built around the garden. What is the area of the path?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plane Figures Question 7 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFFormula used
Area = length × breath
Calculation
The garden EFGH is shown in the figure. Where EF = 220 meters & EH = 70 meters.
The width of the path is 4 meters.
Now the area of the path leaving the four colored corners
= [2 × (220 × 4)] + [2 × (70 × 4)]
= (1760 + 560) square meter
= 2320 square meters
Now, the area of 4 square colored corners:
4 × (4 × 4)
{∵ Side of each square = 4 meter}
= 64 square meter
The total area of the path = the area of the path leaving the four colored corners + square colored corners
⇒ Total area of the path = 2320 + 64 = 2384 square meter
∴ Option 4 is the correct answer.
The width of the path around a square field is 4.5 m and its area is 105.75 m2. Find the cost of fencing the field at the rate of Rs. 100 per meter.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plane Figures Question 8 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
The width of the path around a square field = 4.5 m
The area of the path = 105.75 m2
Formula used:
The perimeter of a square = 4 × Side
The area of a square = (Side)2
Calculation:
Let, each side of the field = x
Then, each side with the path = x + 4.5 + 4.5 = x + 9
So, (x + 9)2 - x2 = 105.75
⇒ x2 + 18x + 81 - x2 = 105.75
⇒ 18x + 81 = 105.75
⇒ 18x = 105.75 - 81 = 24.75
⇒ x = 24.75/18 = 11/8
∴ Each side of the square field = 11/8 m
The perimterer = 4 × (11/8) = 11/2 m
So, the total cost of fencing = (11/2) × 100 = Rs. 550
∴ The cost of fencing of the field is Rs. 550
Shortcut TrickIn such types of questions,
Area of path outside the Square is,
⇒ (2a + 2w)2w = 105.75
here, a is a side of a square and w is width of a square
⇒ (2a + 9)9 = 105.75
⇒ 2a + 9 = 11.75
⇒ 2a = 2.75
Perimeter of a square = 4a
⇒ 2 × 2a = 2 × 2.75 = 5.50
costing of fencing = 5.50 × 100 = 550
∴ The cost of fencing of the field is Rs. 550
The length of an arc of a circle is 4.5π cm and the area of the sector circumscribed by it is 27π cm2. What will be the diameter (in cm) of the circle?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plane Figures Question 9 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven :
Length of an arc of a circle is 4.5π.
Area of the sector circumscribed by it is 27π cm2.
Formula Used :
Area of sector = θ/360 × πr2
Length of arc = θ/360 × 2πr
Calculation :
According to question,
⇒ 4.5π = θ/360 × 2πr
⇒ 4.5 = θ/360 × 2r -----------------(1)
⇒ 27π = θ/360 × πr2
⇒ 27 = θ/360 × r2 ---------------(2)
Doing equation (1) ÷ (2)
⇒ 4.5/27 = 2r/πr2
⇒ 4.5/27 = 2/r
⇒ r = (27 × 2)/4.5
⇒ Diameter = 2r = 24
∴ The correct answer is 24.

Total cost of fencing = Rs. 10080
Cost of fencing per metre = Rs. 20
Concept used:
Perimeter = Total cost / Cost per metre
Area of the pavement = area of outer square - area of inner square.
Calculation:
According to the question,
Total cost of fencing = 10080
Perimeter of square = 10080/20 = 504 m
⇒ Side of square = 504/4 = 126 m
According to the diagram,
Breadth of the pavement = 2 × 3m = 6m
Side of inner square = 126 - 6 = 120m
Area of pavement = (126 × 126) - (120 × 120)
⇒ Area of pavement = 1476
Cost of pavement = 1476 × 50 = Rs. 73800.
∴ The cost of pavement is Rs. 73800.

Plane Figures Question 15 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
∠ROS = 42º
Concept used:
The sum of the angles of a triangle = 180°
Exterior angle = Sum of opposite interior angles
Angle made by an arc at the centre = 2 × Angle made by the same arc at any point on the circumference of the circle
Calculation:
Join RQ and RS
According to the concept,
∠RQS = ∠ROS/2
⇒ ∠RQS = 42°/2 = 21° .....(1)
Here, PQ is a diameter.
So, ∠PRQ = 90° [∵ Angle in the semicircle = 90°]
In ΔRQT, ∠PRQ is an exterior angle
So, ∠PRQ = ∠RTQ + ∠TQR
⇒ 90° = ∠RTQ + 21° [∵ ∠TQR = ∠RQS = 21°]
⇒ ∠RTQ = 90° - 21° = 69°
⇒ ∠PTQ = 69°
∴ The measure of ∠PTQ is 69°
