    The perimeter of five squares are 24 cm, 32 cm, 40 cm, 76 cm and 80 cm respectively. The perimeter of another square equal in area to sum of area of these square, is

    A)  31 cm             

    B)  62 cm

    C)  124 cm

    D)  961 cm

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let \[{{P}_{1}}=24\,cm,\] \[{{P}_{2}}=32\,cm,\] \[{{P}_{3}}=40\,cm,\] \[{{P}_{4}}=76\,cm\] and \[{{P}_{5}}=80\,cm\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{a}_{1}}=6\,cm,\] \[{{a}_{2}}=8\,cm,\] \[{{a}_{3}}=10\,cm,\]\[{{a}_{4}}=19\,cm\] and \[{{a}_{5}}=20\,cm\] \[\therefore \] \[{{A}_{1}}=36\,c{{m}^{2}},\] \[{{A}_{2}}=64\,c{{m}^{2}},\] \[{{A}_{3}}=100\,cm,\] \[{{A}_{4}}={{19}^{2}}=136\,c{{m}^{2}},\] \[{{A}_{5}}={{(20)}^{2}}=400\,c{{m}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \] \[A={{A}_{1}}+{{A}_{2}}+{{A}_{3}}+{{A}_{4}}+{{A}_{5}}\]             \[=36+64+100+361+400=961\] Let a be the side of big square. \[\therefore \]      \[{{a}^{2}}=961\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[a=\sqrt{961}=31\] Thus, perimeter of required square             = 4(31) \[=124\,cm\]
