10. A circular wire of radius 42 cm is cut and bent in the form of a rectangle whose sides are in the ratio of 6:5. The smaller side of the rectangle is :
a. 30 cm
b. 60 cm
c. 72 cm
d. 132 cm
e. 144 cm

Answers 
1.A
1/2*d^2/1/2*2d^2 = 1/4

2. A
3. C
b=x and l= 2x
then (2x-5)(x+)-x*2x= 75
2x^2+5x-25-2x^2 = 75 
x=20
length = 40 cm

4.B
5.B
6.c
7.c
8. B
9.A
10.B
circumference = 2*22/7*42 = 264 cm
length of rectangle sides are 6x, 5x. then circumference is 2*(6x+5x) = 264,X= 12

smaller side of rectangle = 5x= 60 cm
