Question Detail

The volume of the largest right circular cone that can be cut out of a cube of edge 7 cm is:

  • \begin{aligned} 79.8 cm^3 \end{aligned}
  • \begin{aligned} 79.4 cm^3 \end{aligned}
  • \begin{aligned} 89.8 cm^3 \end{aligned}
  • \begin{aligned} 89.4 cm^3 \end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Volume of the largest cone = Volume of the cone with diameter of base 7 and height 7 cm

\begin{aligned}
\text{Volume of cone =}\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h \\
= \frac{1}{3}*\frac{22}{7}*3.5*3.5*7 \\
= \frac{269.5}{3}cm^3 \\
= 89.8 cm^3
\end{aligned}

Note: radius is taken as 3.5, as diameter is 7 cm

1. 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

2. A cylindrical tank of diameter 35 cm is full of water. If 11 litres of water is drawn off, the water level in the tank will drop by:

  • \begin{aligned} 11\frac{3}{7} cm \end{aligned}
  • \begin{aligned} 11\frac{2}{7} cm \end{aligned}
  • \begin{aligned} 11\frac{1}{7} cm\end{aligned}
  • \begin{aligned} 11 cm\end{aligned}

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let the drop in the water level be h cm, then,

\begin{aligned}
\text{Volume of cylinder= }\pi r^2h \\
=> \frac{22}{7}*\frac{35}{2}*\frac{35}{2}*h = 11000 \\
=> h = \frac{11000*7*4}{22*35*35}cm\\
= \frac{80}{7}cm\\
= 11\frac{3}{7} cm
\end{aligned}

3. 66 cubic centimetres of silver is drawn into a wire 1 mm in diameter. The length if the wire in meters will be:

  • 76 m
  • 80 m
  • 84 m
  • 88 m

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let the length of the wire be h
\begin{aligned}
Radius = \frac{1}{2}mm = \frac{1}{20}cm\\
\pi r^2h = 66 \\
\frac{22}{7}*\frac{1}{20}*\frac{1}{20}*h = 66 \\
=> h = \frac{66*20*20*7}{22} \\
= 8400 cm \\
= 84 m
\end{aligned}

4. Find the surface area of a 10cm*4cm*3cm brick.

  • 154 cm square
  • 156 cm square
  • 160 cm square
  • 164 cm square

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Surface area of a cuboid = 2(lb+bh+hl) cm square
So,
Surface area of a brick = 2(10*4+4*3+3*10) cm square
= 2(82) cm square = 164 cm square

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}
