Sum of all the interior angles of a polygon is 3060°. Find the number of sides of the polygon?
Answer: 19
Join our Telegram Channel for CAT/MBA Preparation.
Explanation :
We know sum of all interior angles of a polygon = (n - 2) × 180°
∴ (n - 2) × 180° = 3060°
⇒ n = 19
Hence, 19.

How many regular polygons with number of sides 'n' exist such that all the angles (in degrees) of the polygon are integers?
Answer: 22
Join our Telegram Channel for CAT/MBA Preparation.
Explanation :
We know sum of all interior angles of a polygon = (n - 2) × 180°
∴ Each interior angle of a regular polygon = n - 2 × 180 ° n = 180 ° - 360 ° n
Now for interior angles to be integer, 360 ° n
Total factors of 360 = 24
Regular Polygons satisfying the conditions specified above are 22 (n > 2).
Hence, 22.

What is the fourth angle of a cyclic quadrilateral in which three angles are 50°, 130° and 120°?
(a) 120°
(b) 60°
(c) 30°
(d) 20°
Answer: Option
B
Join our Telegram Channel for CAT/MBA Preparation.
Explanation :
For a cyclic quadrilateral, the sum of the interior angles is always 360°.
Assume the fourth angle to be ‘x’.
∴ x + 50° + 130° + 120° = 360°
∴ x + 300° = 360°
∴ x = 60°
Hence, option (b).

The diagonals of which of the following quadrilaterals do not intersect each other at right angles: Kite, Rhombus, Rectangle and Square?
(a) Square
(b) Rectangle
(c) Rhombus
(d) Kite
Answer: Option
B
Join our Telegram Channel for CAT/MBA Preparation.
Explanation :
As shown in the figure above, Squares, Rhombuses and Kites are quadrilaterals in which the diagonals intersect each other at right angles.
But for a Rectangle, the diagonals don’t intersect each other at right angles. (except when the rectangle is a square.)
Hence, option (b).

What is the area of a square (in cm2 ) in which the sides are double that of a square with area 30 cm2 ?
(a) 60
(b) 120
(c) 90
(d) None of these
Answer: Option
B
Join our Telegram Channel for CAT/MBA Preparation.
Explanation :
∵ We know area of a square ∝ (side)2 .
Hence, if side is double, the area will become quadruple.
⇒ The new area will be 4 × 30 = 120 cm2 .
Hence, option (b).

What is the perimeter (in cm) and area (in cm2 ) of the parallelogram shown in the figure? (All the values are given in cm)
(a) 18, 20
(b) 20, 32
(c) 26, 32
(d) 26, 16
Answer: Option
C
Join our Telegram Channel for CAT/MBA Preparation.
Explanation :
∵ A parallelogram has its opposite sides equal in length, we have,
∴ AB = CD = 8 cm and AD = BC = 5 cm
Now, the perimeter of a parallelogram, P = AB + BC + CD + DA= 2 × (AB + BC)= 2 × (8 + 5) = 26 cm.
and Area of a parallelogram, A = Base × Height = CD × Height = 8 × 4 = 32 cm2
Hence, option (c).

What is the length of the diagonal of a rectangle with an area 48 cm2 and one of its sides as 6 cm?
(a) 10 cm
(b) 9 cm
(c) 12 cm
(d) 8 cm
Answer: Option
A
Join our Telegram Channel for CAT/MBA Preparation.
Explanation :
Opposite sides of a rectangle are equal in length.
∴ AD = BC = 6 cm and AB = CD
Area of a rectangle, A = Length × Breadth
∴ 48 = 6 × CD
∴ CD = 8 cm
∴ AB = CD = 8 cm
A rectangle has all interior angles as right angles i.e. 90°.
In ∆BCD, m∠BAD = 90°
Using Pythagoras theorem, we have,
AB2 + AD2 = BD2
∴ BD2 = 62 + 82
∴ BD = 10 cm
Hence, option (a).

Two diagonals of a quadrilateral meet at an angle of 30°. If the area of the quadrilateral is 50 cm2 and length of one of the diagonals is 5 cm, what is the length of its other diagonal?
(a) 20 cm
(b) 40 cm
(c) 60 cm
(d) 30 cm
(e) None of these
Answer: Option
B
Join our Telegram Channel for CAT/MBA Preparation.
Explanation :
Area of a quadrilateral when two diagonals and an included angle is known
= 1/2 × d1 × d2 × Sin θ
∴ 50 = 1/2 × 5 × d2 × Sin 30°
⇒ 50 = 1/2 × 5 × d2 × 1/2
⇒ d2 = 40 cm
Hence, option (b).

What is the area (in cm2 ) of a cyclic quadrilateral with sides 62 cm, 51 cm, 38 cm, and 23 cm?
Answer: 1680
Join our Telegram Channel for CAT/MBA Preparation.
Explanation :
The given quadrilateral is a cyclic quadrilateral.
Area of a cyclic quadrilateral = √ ( ( s - a ) ( s - b ) ( s - c ) ( s - d ) )
where s is the semi perimeter of the cyclic quadrilateral and is given as s = (a + b + c + d)/2
s = (62+51+38+23)/2 = 87 cm
Area of □ABCD = √ ( ( 87 - 62 ) ( 87 - 51 ) ( 87 - 38 ) ( 87 - 23 ) )
= √ ( 25 × 36 × 49 × 64 )
Hence, option (a).

Which of the following has the maximum perimeter for the same area?
(a) Circle
(b) Hexagon
(c) Triangle
(d) Rhombus
Answer: Option
C
Join our Telegram Channel for CAT/MBA Preparation.

Area of the given figure is 60 cm2 . Length of the diagonal BD is equal to
(a) 16 cm
(b) 12 cm
(c) 8 cm
(d) 10 cm
(e) None of these
Answer: Option
B
Join our Telegram Channel for CAT/MBA Preparation.
Explanation :
If the length of a diagonal and that of the two perpendiculars drawn from that diagonal to the other two vertices are known, the area of the quadrilateral is given as:
Area of a quadrilateral = 1/2 × (h1 + h2 ) × d where d is the length of the diagonal and h1 and h2 are the lengths of the two perpendiculars.
∴ 60 = 1/2 × (4 + 6) × BD
∴ BD = 12 cm.
Hence, option (b).

A square of side 's' units is cut down into a regular octagon. What is the side of the regular octagon?
(a) s 2
(b) s 2 + 1
(c) s 2 + 2
(d) None of these
Answer: Option
B
Join our Telegram Channel for CAT/MBA Preparation.
Explanation :
We will have to cut a right angled triangle from the 4 corners of the square to form an octagon.
Let 'a' be the side of the right angled triangle, such that the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle be the side of the octagon.
a + √2a + a = s
⇒ a = s 2 + 2
⇒ 2 a = s 2 + 1
Hence, option (c).

What is the area of a regular octagon of side 16 cm?
(a) 256(1 + √2)
(b) 128(4 + 2√2)
(c) 128(3 + 2√2)
(d) 64(10 + √2)
Answer: Option
D
Join our Telegram Channel for CAT/MBA Preparation.
Explanation :
Area of the octagon = Area of the bigger square – 4 × (Area of the corner right triangle)
The side of the bigger square will be 16 + 16/√2 + 16/√2 = 16 × (1 + √2).
∴ Area of the octagon = (16(1 + √2))2 - 4 × 1/2 × (8√2)2
= 256(3 + 2√2) – 256
= 256(2 + 2√2)
Hence, option (d).

What is the area (in cm2 ) of an isosceles trapezium in which the two parallel sides are 12 cm and 6 cm and the two non-parallel sides are 5 cm each?
Answer: 36
Join our Telegram Channel for CAT/MBA Preparation.
Explanation :
In an isosceles trapezium ABCD. AD = BC = 5 and DE = FC = 3
In right triangle BCF, BC = 5, FC = 3 hence BF = 4 (pythagorean triplet)
∴ Area of the trapezium = ½ × (6 + 12) × 4 = 36 cm2 .
Hence, 36.
