MCQ Questions for Class 6 Maths Mensuration Quiz 2

The length of the wooden strip required to frame a photograph of length and breadth 39.5 cm and 31 cm respectively, is

0%
$79\ cm$
0%
$1224.5\ cm$
0%
$141\ cm$
0%
$70.5\ cm$

Explanation

Length of photograph = 39.5 cm
Breadth of photograph = 31 cm

$\therefore$ Required length of the wooden strip
= Perimeter of photograph
= 2(39.5 + 31) = 2(70.5) = 141 cm

If length of a rectangle is 5 less than 3 times it's breath and perimeter of the rectangle is 22m, then area of the rectangle is:

0%
28 $m^{2}$
0%
14 $m^{2}$
0%
11 $m^{2}$
0%
21 $m^{2}$

Explanation

Let

$l$ and

$b$ be the length and breadth of rectangle.

According to the question-

$l = 3b - 5 ..... \left( 1 \right)$

Perimeter of rectangle

$= 22 \; m \; \left( \text{Given} \right)$

As we know that the perimeter of rectangle is given as-

$P = 2 \left( l + b \right)$

Therefore,

$2 \left( l + b \right) = 22$

$l + b = 11$

$\left( 3b - 5 \right) + b = 11 \; \left( \text{from } \left( 1 \right) \right)$

$4b = 11 + 5$

$\Rightarrow b = \cfrac{16}{4} = 4 \; m$

Substituting the value of

$b$ in

${eq}^{n} \left( 1 \right)$ , we have

$l = 3 \times 4 - 5 = 7 \; m$

Therefore,

Area of rectangle

$= l \times b = 7 \times 4 = 28 \; {m}^{2}$

Hence the area of rectangle is

$28 \; {m}^{2}$ .

Explanation

area of any square with side

$a$ m is

$=a^2$ sq.m.

let the length of the side of the square field is

$x$ m

$x^2=\dfrac{729*80+244}{729}$

$x^2=\dfrac{58564}{729}$

Explanation

Given, length of hall is

$45$ m and width is

$32$ m

Then area of hall

$=$

$45\times 32=1440 m^{2}$

Length of carpet

$=$

$\dfrac{1440}{1.2}$ .....(given width of carpet is

$1.2$ m)

Then cost of carpet

$=$

$\dfrac{1440}{1.2}\times40=$ Rs.

$48000$

When cost of

$80$ cm width at rate Rs.

$25$ per meter

Then cost carpet

The cost of enclosing a rectangular garden with a fence all around, at the rate of

$75$ paise per metre, is

$Rs. 300$ . If the length of the garden is

$120$ metres, find the area of the field in square metres.

0%
$9600sq.m$
0%
$8400sq.m$
0%
$7500sq.m$
0%
None of these

Explanation

The cost of enclosing a rectangular garden with a fence all around, at the rate of

$75$ paise (=

$0.75$ rupee) per meter, is Rs.

$300$ .

Thus, the perimeter of the rectangular garden

$=\cfrac{300}{0.75}$

$=400$ m

Perimeter of a rectangle

$=2(length + breadth)$

$\therefore 2(length + breadth)=400$

$\Rightarrow 2(120+breadth)=400$

$\Rightarrow 120 + breadth = 200$

$\Rightarrow breadth = 80$ m

Thus, the area of the rectangle

$=\ell \times b =80 \times 120$

$=9600$ sq. m

The length and breadth of a rectangular plot are

$900 m$ and

$700 m$ respectively. If three rounds of fence is fixed around the field at the cost of

$Rs$ .

0%
$Rs. 768$
0%
$Rs. 7680$
0%
$Rs. 76800$
0%
$Rs. 768000$

Explanation

$l = 900, b = 700$
Perimeter =

$2 (900 + 700)$

$=(1600)$

$=3200$

$3$ rounds of fence :

$=3 (3200)$

$=9600 m%$

$9600 \times 8$

$=Rs. 76800$

The perimeter of a rectangle is

$50$ m. Then the breadth is:

0%
$80$ m
0%
$65$ m
0%
$55$ m
0%
$35$ m

Explanation

Let the breadth of the rectangle is

$b$ .

Perimeter of the rectangle

$=2(l+b)=170 m$ {Given}

$\Rightarrow2(50+b)=170$

$\Rightarrow 50+b=85$

$\Rightarrow b=35m$

A rectangular field is to be fenced on three sides leaving a side of

$20\ m$ uncovered. If the area of the field is

$680\ m^2$ , how many metres of fencing will be required.

0%
$34$
0%
$40$
0%
$68$
0%
$88$

Explanation

If length of one side is

$20\ m$ and area is

$680\ m^2$

$\Rightarrow$ Length of other side

$= \dfrac {680}{20} = 34\ m$
Now, length of fencing required for the three sides

$= 34 + 34 + 20 = 88\ m$

The length of a rectangle which is

$25\ cm$ is equal to the side of a square, and the area of the rectangle is

$125\ cm^2$ less than the area of the square. What is the breadth of the rectangle?

0%
$20\ cm$
0%
$25\ cm$
0%
$40\ cm$
0%
$15\ cm$

Explanation

Area of the square

$= (25 \times 25)\ cm^2= 625\ cm^2$

$\therefore$ Area of the rectangle

$= (625 - 125)\ cm^2$

$=500 \ cm^2$

$\therefore$ Breadth of the rectangle

$=\dfrac{Area}{Length}=\displaystyle \frac{500}{25} cm= 20\, cm$

The floor of a rectangular room is

$15\ m$ long and

$12\ m$ wide. The room is surrounded by a verandah of width

Explanation

Area of outer rectangle

$= 19\, \times\, 16\, =\, 304\, m^2$
Area of inner rectangle

$= 15\, \times\, 12\, =\, 180\, m^2$

$\therefore$ Reqd. area

$= (304 -180)\, m^2\, =\, 124\, m^2.$

So, the sum of perimeter

$=170+200=370$ cm

A playground which is

$250$ m long and

$20$ m broad is to be fenced with wire. How much wire is needed?

0%
$270\ m$
0%
$230\ m$
0%
$540\ m$
0%
None

Explanation

Given that, a playground which is

$250\ m$ long and

$20\ m$ wide is fenced with wire.

To find out: The amount of wire.

Amount of wire needed

$=$ Perimeter of a rectangle =

$2 \times (length+breadth)$

Hence, wire needed

$=$

$2 \times(250+20)$

$=$

$540 \ m$

Hence, the amount of wire required to fence the playground is

$540\ m$ .

Length and breadth of a rectangle are 3.2 m and 150 cm. Then the area is

0%
$64 sq. \ m$
0%
$5.6 sq. \ m$
0%
$4.8 sq. \ m$
0%
$48 sq. \ cm$

Explanation

We know that, area of rectangle

$=l \times b$ , where

$l$ = length,

$b$ = breadth

$l \displaystyle = 3.2m$

$b \displaystyle = 1.5m$

$\therefore l \displaystyle \times b\displaystyle = 3.2 \displaystyle \times 1.5$

$\displaystyle = 4.80$ sq m.

0%
$480$
0%
$483$
0%
$467$
0%
$487$

Explanation

We convert the measurements to cm

Length

$= 39 m 10cm = 3910 cm$
Width

$= 35 m 70 cm = 3570 cm$

To get the length of the sides of the square tile, we find the Greatest Common Divisor of

$3910$ and

$3570$

The GCD of

$3910$ and

$3570 = 170$

Area of the hall

$= 3910 \times 3570 = 13958700 cm^2$

Area of one square tile

$= 170 \times 170 = 28900 cm^2$

The number of tiles

$= \dfrac{13958700}{28900}$

$= 483 tiles$

How many metres of a carpet

$75$ cm wide will be required to cover the floor of a room which is

$20$ metres long and

$12$ metres broad?

0%
$220$ m
0%
$320$ m
0%
$360$ m
0%
$400$ m

Explanation

Given ,

For room , length

$=20\ m$ and breadth

$=12\ m$

Area of room

$=20\times 12=240\ m^2 -(1)$

$75\ cm=0.75\ m$

Let

$l$ be the length of carpet

Area of carpet required=

$l\times 0.75\ m^2~~~~~~~~-(2)$

From eqs.(1) and (2)

$\therefore l\times 0.75=240\\\to l=\dfrac{240}{0.75}=320\ m$

The perimeter of a rectangular garden is

$30$ feet. If its length is

$6$ feet, what is its width?

0%
$9$ feet
0%
$10$ feet
0%
$18$ feet
0%
$21$ feet
0%
$24$ feet

Explanation

The perimeter of a shape is the distance around it. In particular, the perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula

$P = 2W + 2L$ . Substitute the correct values of the variables into this formula (

$P = 30$ and

$L = 6$ ) and then solve for the width W:

$30= 2W + 2(6)$

$30= 2W+12$

$18= 2W$

$W=9$
Therefore, the width of the garden is

$9$ feet.

${ cm }^{ 2 }$ .

Let the number of carpets be n.

For the carpets to completely cover the hall

$\Rightarrow n \times 24 = 1200$

$\Rightarrow n = 50$

Explanation

Given,

Length of plot

$=112m,$ Breadth

Area of plot=

$112\times 78=8736m^2$

Now After forming the path

The lenth of remaining plot

$l=112-2(2.5)=108m$

Breadth

$b=78-2(2.5)=73m$

Area of remaining plot

$=108\times 73=7811m^2$

Area of path

$=8736-7811=925m^2$

Cost of constructing

$=Area\times rate\\=925\times 2\\=Rs1850$
