Q21: A rectangular playground is 600 m long and 250 m wide. If the cost of painting the boundary lines is ₹10 per 100 sq. m, what is the total cost to paint the entire boundary? (3 marks)
Ans: Here, length = 600 m and width = 250 m
Hence, the area of the playground = length × width
= 600 × 250
= 1,50,000 sq. mNow, the cost of painting 100 sq. m = ₹10
Total cost = (10/100) × 150000
= ₹15,000
Q22: A strip of width 4 m is cut out all round from a rectangular sheet of paper with dimensions 60 m × 40 m. Find the area of the strip cut out and the area of the remaining sheet. (3 marks)
Ans: Given that,
Length of the sheet = 60 m
Breadth of the sheet = 40 m
Area of the sheet = 60 × 40 = 2400 m²A strip of width 4 m is cut out all round from the sheet.
Let that form a rectangle PQRS.
Length of the rectangle PQRS = 60 – 4 – 4 = 60 – 8 = 52 m
Breadth of the rectangle = 40 – 4 – 4 = 40 – 8 = 32 mArea of the rectangle PQRS (Area of remaining sheet) = 52 × 32 = 1664 m²
Area of the strip cut out = Area of sheet – Area of PQRS
= 2400 – 1664
= 736 m²∴ The area of the strip cut out = 736 m².

Q25: Put the following set of fractions in descending order :
(i) 15, 35, 135, 95, 125
(ii) 37, 311, 32, 35, 310
Ans:
(i) Since the denominators are the same we will compare the numerators, then the order becomes :
135 > 125 > 95 > 35 > 15
(ii) The smaller the denominator, the larger the fraction:
32 > 35 > 37 > 310 > 311
Q26: Find the number of square tiles required to cover the floor of a room whose length is 4 m and width 3 m, if each square tile is of side 0.2 m. (3 marks)
Ans: To find the number of square tiles required to cover the floor of a room, we need to first determine the area of the room in square meters. The area of a rectangle is given by the formula:
Area = Length x Width
In this case, the length of the room is 4 m and the width is 3 m, so the area of the room is 4 x 3 = 12 sq m.
Next, we need to determine the area of a single square tile. The area of a square is given by the formula:
Area = Side X 2
In this case, the side of the square tile is 0.2 m, so the area of a single tile is 0.2 X 2 = 0.04 sq m.
To find the number of tiles required to cover the floor of the room, we can divide the area of the room by the area of a single tile:
12 sq m / 0.04 sq m = 300 tiles
Therefore, the number of square tiles required to cover the floor of the room is 300 tiles.
Q27: The temperature in a city at 7 AM was 5°C. Due to a heatwave, the temperature rose by 8°C by 11 AM. Later in the afternoon, as a cloud cover appeared, the temperature dropped by 4°C. By night, it again rose by 3°C. (3 marks)
(A) What was the temperature at 11 AM?
(B) What was the temperature in the afternoon?
(C) What was the temperature at night?
Ans:
(A) At 11 AM:
5 + 8 = 13
The temperature was 13°C.(B) In the afternoon:
13 - 4 = 9
The temperature was 9°C.(C) At night:
9 + 3 = 12
The temperature was 12°C.
