SSC CPO Tier I - 12th December 2019 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q131

A circular ring of diameter 77 cm is bent in the form of a rectangle whose length is 142% of its breadth. What is the area of the rectangle? (Taken π = 22/7)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 3550 sq. cm

Application

Diameter = 77 cm

Means, total length of the ring

= 2πr

= 2 × 22/7 × 77/2

= 242

let breadth = 100 unit

So length = 142 unit

Ratio = 50 : 71

Now,

2(50 + 71) unit = 242

242 unit = 242

1 unit = 1

breadth = 50 cm & length = 71 cm

So

Area = 50 × 71 = 3550
