Answer : 4. "38.57 cm"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 38.57 cm Explanation: We know that perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b) = 2(8+7)= 30cmGiven perimeter of square is twice the perimeter of rectangle = 2(30) = 60cmTherefore, side of the square is = 1/4 x 60 = 15cmCircumference of the required semicircle = πr + 2r = 227× 152 + 2×152 = 23.57 + 15 = 38.57cm.

Answer : 1. "48 kmph"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 48 kmph Explanation: we know that speed = distance traveled/time takenlet the total distance traveled by the car is 2x km.then time taken by it to cover first half is x/60 hour.and for second half is x/40 hour.Then average speed= total distance travelled / total time taken.   i.e. 2xx60+x40   => 2x5x120   = 48 kmph.
