1. B
∵ 1 m = 100 cm
∴ (1 m) 2 = (100 cm) 2
1 m2 = 10 000 cm 2
∴ 2 m2 = 2  (1 m 2 )

∴ Area of the shaded region = Area of ABCD  Area of EFGH
= (90  10) cm 2
= 80 cm 2

6. C
Area of the figure = Area of the larger rectangle  Area of the smaller rectangle  Area of the square
Area of figure I = 30  20  (5  5 + 8  6)
= 527
Area of figure II = (5 + 25)  20  (5  5 + 8  6)

Area of figure III = (30 + 6)  20  (5  5 + 8  6)
= 647
Area of figure IV = (25 + 5)  (5 + 15)  (5  5 + 8  6)
