Answer : 4. "17.08 cm"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 17.08 cm Explanation: Let the length of the rectangle = L cm   Then the breadth of the rectangle = (L - 10) cm   Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L + B) cm   => 44 = 2(L + L - 10)   => 44 = 4L - 20   => 4L = 64   => L = 16 cm   => B = L - 10 = 6 cm   Diagonal = L2+B2 = 162+62 = 17.08 cm

Answer : 3. "9"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 9 Explanation: The mother completes the job in x hours.So, the daughter will take 2x hours to complete the same job.   In an hour, the mother will complete 1/x of the total job.In an hour, the daughter will complete 1/2x of the total job.   So, if the mother and daughter work together, in an hour they will complete 1/x + 1/2x of the job.i.e., in an hour they will complete 3/2x of the job.   The question states that they complete the entire task in 6 hours if they work together.i.e., they complete 1/6 th of the task in an hour.   Equating the two information, we get 3/2x = 1/6By solving for x, we get 2x = 18 or x = 9.   The mother takes 9 hours to complete the job.
