Question Detail

If the volume of two cubes are in the ratio 27:1, the ratio of their edges is:

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let the edges be a and b of two cubes, then

\begin{aligned}
\frac{a^3}{b^3} = \frac{27}{1} \\
=> \left( \frac{a}{b} \right)^3 = \left( \frac{3}{1} \right)^3 \\
\frac{a}{b}=\frac{3}{1} \\
=> a:b = 3:1
\end{aligned}

1. A circular well with a diameter of 2 meters, is dug to a depth of 14 meters. What is the volume of the earth dug out.

\begin{aligned} 40 m^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 42 m^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 44 m^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 46 m^3 \end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
Volume = \pi r^2h \\
Volume = \left(\frac{22}{7}*1*1*14\right)m^3 \\
= 44 m^3
\end{aligned}

2. A cone of height 9 cm with diameter of its base 18 cm is carved out from a wooden solid sphere of radius 9 cm. The percentage of the wood wasted is :

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

We will first subtract the cone volume from wood volume to get the wood wasted.
Then we can calculate its percentage.

\begin{aligned}
\text{Sphere Volume =}\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \\
\text{Cone Volume =}\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h\\

\text{Volume of wood wasted =}\\
\left(\frac{4}{3}\pi *9*9*9\right)-\left(\frac{1}{3}\pi *9*9*9\right) \\
= \pi *9*9*9 cm^3 \\
\text{Required Percentage =} \\
\frac{\pi *9*9*9}{\frac{4}{3}\pi *9*9*9}*100 \% \\
= \frac{3}{4}*100 \% \\
= 75\%
\end{aligned}

3. The cost of the paint is Rs. 36.50 per kg. If 1 kg of paint covers 16 square feet, how much will it cost to paint outside of a cube having 8 feet each side.

Rs. 850
Rs. 860
Rs. 876
Rs. 886

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

We will first calculate the Surface area of cube, then we will calculate the quantity of paint required to get answer.
Here we go,

\begin{aligned}
\text{Surface area =}6a^2 \\
= 6 * 8^2 = 384 \text{sq feet} \\
\text{Quantity required =}\frac{384}{16} \\
= 24 kg\\
\text{Cost of painting =} 36.50*24 \\
= Rs. 876
\end{aligned}

4. The perimeter of one face of a cube is 20 cm. Its volume will be:

\begin{aligned} 125 cm^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 400 cm^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 250 cm^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 625 cm^3 \end{aligned}

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Edge of cude = 20/4 = 5 cm

Volume = a*a*a = 5*5*5 = 125 cm cube

5. There are bricks with 24 cm x 12 cm x 8 cm dimensions. Find the total number of bricks required to construct a wall 24 m long, 8 m high and 60 m thick with 10% of wall filled with mortar.

35000
40000
45000
50000

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

So as per question,
\begin{aligned}
\text{Volume of wall} = (2400 * 800 * 60 ) cm^3 \\
\text{Volume of bricks} = \text { 90% of volume of wall } \\
= [ \frac{90}{100} * 2400 * 800 * 60 ] cm^3 \\
\text{ Volume of 1 brick = } (24 * 12 * 8) cm^3 \\
\text{Number of Bricks required} \\
= \frac{ (\frac{90}{100}) * (2400 * 800 * 60)}{24 * 12 * 8} \\
= 45000
\end{aligned}
