A. 90
B. 80
C. 75
D. 100

Solution

Days Lok Sabha meets = 75% of 120 = 0.75 * 120 = 90.

Correct Answer: A — 90

Q. If the perimeter of a rectangle is 20 cm and the length is 6 cm, what is the width?

A. 4 cm
B. 5 cm
C. 6 cm
D. 7 cm

Solution

Perimeter P = 2(length + width). So, 20 = 2(6 + width). Solving gives width = 4 cm.

Correct Answer: B — 5 cm

Q. If the perimeter of a rectangle is 30 cm and the length is 10 cm, what is the width?

A. 5 cm
B. 10 cm
C. 7.5 cm
D. 15 cm

Solution

Perimeter P = 2(length + width). So, 30 = 2(10 + width). Dividing by 2 gives 15 = 10 + width. Thus, width = 15 - 10 = 5 cm.

Correct Answer: A — 5 cm

Q. If the perimeter of a rectangle is 50 cm and the length is 15 cm, what is the width? (2020)

A. 10 cm
