Question

A square board 20 cm side has a corner triangle removed (right triangle, legs 5 cm each). What percent of the board remains?

This question was previously asked in
SSC CPO 2025 Paper 1 Question Paper (9-Dec-2025) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

96.88 %

Area of the square board = \(20 \times 20 = 400\) cm2.

Area of the removed right triangle = \(\frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 5 = 12.5\) cm2.

Remaining area = \(400 - 12.5 = 387.5\) cm2.

Percentage remaining = \(\frac{387.5}{400} \times 100 = 96.875\% \approx 96.88\%\).

Hence, 96.88 % of the board remains.
