4. The perimeter of a
square is twice the perimeter of a rectangle. If the perimeter of the square is
56 cm and the length of the
rectangle is 9 cm, what is the difference between the breadth of the rectangle
and the side of the square?

1) 7 cm

2) 9 cm

3) 11 cm

4) 5 cm

5) None of these

Solutions – Perimeter of the square = 56 cm So, Side of the square = 14 cm Perimeter of the rectangle = 56/2 = 28 cm or, 2(l + b) = 28 or, 9 + b = 14 or, b = 5 cm So, Difference = 14 – 5 = 9 cm

1) 46 kmh–1

2) 52 kmh–1

3) 49 kmh–1

4) 64 kmh–1

5) None of these

Solutions – Time taken by the truck = 256/32 = 8 hr Distance covered by the car = 256 + 160 = 416 km Time = 8 hr So, Speed of the car = 416/8 = 52 km/h

8. Out of the
fractions 3/5, 7/9, 4/7,

2) 19/63

3) 11/63

4) 17/63

5) None of these

Solutions – Largest = 7/9 Smallest = 4/7 So, 7/9 – 4/7 = 49 – 36/63 = 13/63

9. On Children’s Day,
3200 sweets were to be equally distributed among a certain number of children.
But on that particular day 80 children

2) 500

3) 540
