Mensuration Question 1 Detailed Solution
Given:
A chessboard contains 64 equal squares.
The area of each square is 2.56 cm2.
Concept used:
Area of square = a2
Where, a is the side length of the square
Calculation:
Since the chess board contains 64 equal

squares,
Therefore, the number of squares

formed horizontally and vertically are 8.
It can be written as:
The number of small squares in horizontal

direction = 8
The number of small squares in vertical direction

=8
Now,
Let the side length of the small square = a
Area of each small square = a2 = 2.56 cm2
a2 = 2.56
a = 1.6 cm
Now, the length of chess board = 8 × 1.6 = 12.8

cm
Therefore, "12.8 cm" is the required 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.
1. Rs. 275
2. Rs. 550
3. Rs. 600
4. Rs. 400
Option 2 : Rs. 550

Detailed Solution
Given:
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

angle between AC and AB then, a2 = b2 + c2 -
2bc × cos∠A
Calculation:
According to the concept,
BC2 = AB2 + AC2 - 2 × AB × AC × cos60°
BC2 = 122 + 102 - 2 × 12 × 10 × 1/2
BC2 = 124
BC ≈ 11.13
∴ The measure of BC is 11.13 cm.

A solid hemisphere has radius 21 cm. It is melted

to form a cylinder such that the ratio of its curved
surface area to total surface area is 2 ∶ 5. What is
the radius (in cm) of its base (take π = )?
1. 23
2. 21
3. 17
4. 19
Option 2 : 21

Detailed Solution
Given:
The radius of a solid hemisphere is 21 cm.
The ratio of the cylinder's curved surface area to

its Total surface area is 2/5.
Formula used:
The curved surface area of the cylinder = 2πRh
The total surface area of cylinder = 2πR(R + h)
The volume of the cylinder = πR2h
The volume of the solid hemisphere = 2/3πr³
(where r is the radius of a solid hemisphere and

R is the radius of a cylinder)
Calculations:
According to the question,
CSA/TSA = 2/5
[2πRh]/[2πR(R + h)] = 2/5
h/(R + h) = 2/5
5h = 2R + 2h
h = (2/3)R .......(1)
The cylinder's volume and the volume of a solid

hemisphere are equal.
πR2h = (2/3)πr3
R2 × (2/3)R = (2/3) × (21)3
R3 = (21)3
R = 21 cm
∴ The radius (in cm) of its base is 21 cm.

AB is a diameter of a circle with center O. A

tangent is drawn at point A. C is a point on the
circle such that BC produced meets the tangent
at P. If ∠APC = 62º, then find the measure of the
minor arc AC(i.e.∠ ABC).
1. 31º
2. 62º
3. 28º
4. 66º
Option 3 : 28º

Detailed Solution
Given:
AB is a diameter of a circle with a center O
∠APC = 62º
Concept used:
The radius/diameter of a circle is always

perpendicular to the tangent line.
Sum of all three angles of a triangle = 180°
Calculation:
Minor arc AC will create angle CBA
∠APC = 62º = ∠APB
∠BAP = 90° (diameter perpendicular to tangent)
In Δ APB,
∠APB + ∠BAP + ∠PBA = 180°
∠PBA = 180° - (90° + 62°)
∠PBA = 28°
∴ The measure of minor arc AC is 28°
Mistake PointsMeasure of the minor arc AC is

asked,
∠ABC marks arc AC,
∴ ∠ABC is the correct angle to show a measure

of arc AC
This is a previous year's question, and according

to the commission, this is the correct answer.
