Question Detail

The maximum length of a pencil that can he kept is a rectangular box of dimensions 8 cm x 6 cm x 2 cm, is

\begin{aligned} 2\sqrt{17} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 2\sqrt{16} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 2\sqrt{26} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 2\sqrt{24} \end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

In this question we need to calculate the diagonal of cuboid,
which is =
\begin{aligned}
\sqrt{l^2+b^2+h^2} \\
= \sqrt{8^2+6^2+2^2} \\
= \sqrt{104} \\
= 2\sqrt{26}
\end{aligned}

1. 12 spheres of the same size are made from melting a solid cylinder of 16 cm diameter and 2 cm height. Find the diameter of each sphere.

4 cm
6 cm
8 cm
10 cm

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

In this type of question, just equate the two volumes to get the answer as,
\begin{aligned}
\text{Volume of cylinder =}\pi r^2h\\
\text{Volume of sphere =} \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\
=> 12*\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 = \pi r^2h \\
=> 12*\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 = \pi *8*8*2 \\
=> r^3 = \frac{8*8*2*3}{12*4} \\
=> r^3 = 8 \\
=> r = 2 cm \\
=> \text{Diameter =}2*2 = 4 cm
\end{aligned}

2. A swimming pool 9 m wide and 12 m long is 1 m deep on the shallow side and 4 m deep on the deeper side. Its volume is:

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Volume will be length * breadth * height, but in this case two heights are given so we will take average,

\begin{aligned}
Volume = \left(12*9*\left(\frac{1+4}{2}\right)\right)m^3 \\
12*9*2.5 m^3 = 270 m^3
\end{aligned}

3. 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

4. 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}

5. The slant height of a conical mountain is 2.5 km and the area of its base is 1.54 km square. The height of mountain is :

2.3 km
2.4 km
2.5 km
2.6 km

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the radius of the base be r km. Then,
\begin{aligned}
\pi r^2 = 1.54 \\
r^2 = \frac{1.54*7}{22} = 0.49\\
= 0.7 km \\
\text{Now l=2.5 km, r = 0.7 km} \\
h = \sqrt{2.5^2 - 0.7^2} km \\
=\sqrt{6.25 - 0.49}\\
=\sqrt{5.76} km \\
= 2.4 km
\end{aligned}
