1. Consider the figure below.

2
The ratio of the area of I to II is 8:1. The area of III is 1 3 as much as the area of II. If the difference between
the area of I and II is 252 cm2, then
(P) Area of I
(Q) Area of II + III
P Q
(A) 96 cm2 288 cm2
(B) 288 cm2 96 cm2
(C) 188 cm2 86 cm2
2
(D) 86 cm 188 cm2

Answer: B
Solution: Let the area of II = x sq unit
According to question
Difference of area = (8 – 1) x sq unit = 252
So, x = 36
Thus 8x = 8 × 36 = 288 sq unit

Solution: According to question

If the polynomial is divided by x +1, it leaves the remainder 19.
So, (-1) 4 -2(- 1) 3 + 3(1) 2 + a + 3a + 7 = 19
This gives a = 5
Now, putting the value in the ‘a’ in the given polynomial, we get
P(x) = (x) 4 -2(x) 3 + 3(x) 2 – 5x + 8
Again, p(x) id divided by x + 2.
So, putting x + 2 = 0 or x = -2 in p(x), we get
16 + 16 + 12 + 10 + 8 = 62

231 = r2
𝑟 = √231 = 15.19𝑚
We know, 𝐼 = √𝑟 2 + ℎ2 = √(15.19)2 + 42
= √230.7361 + 16 = √246.7361 = 15.7𝑚 = 𝐼
22
Area of canvas = CSA 𝜋𝑟𝑙 = 7 × 15.19 × 15.7
CSA = 749.518m2
Cost = 120 × 749.518
S = Rs89942.16
