Question 1. The sides of a rectangle are in the ratio of 6 : 5 and its area is 750 sq.m. Find the perimeter of rectangle (in m).
  1.    120
  2.    110
  3.    122
  4.    None of these

Answer: Option B. -> 110
:
B
Let 6x and 5x be the sides of a rectangle.
6x×5x=750
30x2=750
x2=75030=25
x=5
Length = 6x = 30m
Breadth = 5x = 25m
Perimeter = 2(l + b) = 2(30 + 25) = 110m
Question 2. A mat in the shape of a parallelogram has a height of 4 cm and a base of 3 cm. How much would it cost to cover a parallelogram shaped hall with an area of 180 sq. cm with mats, if each mat costs Rs.7?
  1.    Rs. 105
  2.    Rs. 115
  3.    Rs. 135
  4.    Rs. 95
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Rs. 105
:
A
Let n be thenumber of mats required
base of mat = 3 cm
height of mat = 4 cm
Area of the parallelogram= base ×height
Area of hall = Area of mat × number of mats
180 = 4 x 3 x n
n=18012=15
Given that eachmat costs Rs. 7
Then the cost of 15 mats costs = 7 x 15 = Rs.105
Question 3. The area of four walls of a cube whose one edge is 2.5 m is 25 m2.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    2h×(l+b)
  4.    2×lb×(bh+hl)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Edge of the cube (a) = 2.5 m
Area of four walls = 4a2
= 4 x 2.5 x 2.5 m2= 25 m2
Question 4. A rectangular playground is 60 m long and breadth of the field is 25 m, its area is 150 m2.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    35 tiles
  4.    50 tiles
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Area of the rectangular playground = length × breadth
= 60 × 25 = 1500 m2.
Question 5. The Perimeter Of Above Shown Figure Is 9.5 Cm. State Whether...
The perimeter of above shown figure is 9.5 cm. State whether the given answer is true or false.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    96 m2
  4.    48 m2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
The Perimeter Of Above Shown Figure Is 9.5 Cm. State Whether...
The perimeter of the figure given above is the sum of arc length BC + length AB + length AC.
Perimeter of the given shape = πr + 2 + 2 = [227 × 3.52 ] + 4
= 5.5 + 4 = 9.5 cm
Hence, it is true.
Question 6. The diagonal of a trapezium shaped field is 25m and the perpendiculars dropped on it from the remaining opposite vertices are 8m and 12m. Find the area of the field(in m2).
  1.    100
  2.    200
  3.    250
  4.    300
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 250
:
C
We can calculate the area of this quadrilateral as the sum of the areas of two triangles taking diagonal length 25m as the base for both triangles and perpendicular length 8m as theheight of one triangle and the perpendicular length 12m as theheight of another triangle.
The Diagonal Of A Trapezium Shaped Field Is 25m And The Perp...
Area of triangle = 12×base×height
Area of the first triangle = 12×25×8
Area of the second triangle = 12×25×12
Area of quadrilateral =Area of the first triangle +Area of the second triangle
Area of quadrilateral = 12(25)(8+12)=250m2
Question 7. A metal sheet 27 cm long, 8 cm broad and 1 cm thick is melted into a cube. The difference between total surface area of the two solids is ______ cm2.
  1.    280 cm2
  2.    284 cm2
  3.    286 cm2
  4.    296 cm2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 286 cm2
:
C
The metal sheet is in the shape of a cuboid.
Total surface area of the cuboid is given by2 (lb + bh + hl) = 2[(27 ×8) + (8 ×1) + (1 ×27)] = 502 cm2.
When themetal sheet is melted into a cube, then the volume of themetal sheet will be equal to the volume of thecube.
Hence, Volume of the cuboid = Volume of the cube
Let eachside of thecube be a
Hence, 27 × 8 × 1 = a3
a = 6 cm
Total Surface area of the cube is given by6a2 = 6 × (6)2 = 216 cm2.
Hence, the difference between surface areas of two solids = (502 -216)cm2 = 286 cm2.
Question 8. The surface areas of six faces of a cuboid are 12, 12, 36, 36, 48, 48, (all in cm2). The volume of the solid in cm3, is ____.
  1.    144 cm3
  2.    169 cm3
  3.    64 cm3
  4.    216 cm3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 144 cm3
:
A
Let the dimension of a cuboid be l, b, and h.
Since the six surface areas are given:
l ×b = 12.......................................(1)
b×h=36.......................................(2)
l ×h= 48.......................................(3)
Now multiplying equation (1),(2) and (3), we get
(l×b)×(b×h)×)(l×h)=12×36×48
(l×b×h)2=20736
(l×b×h)=20736=144cm3
Since volume of a cuboid is calculated as l×b×h, the required volume is144cm3.
Question 9. The Capacity Of A Soda Can Be Calculated Using The Formula....
The capacity of a soda can be calculated using the formula.
  1.    2πr(r+h) 
  2.    2πr
  3.    πr2h
  4.    All of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> πr2h
:
C
A soda can is a rough example of a cylinder.
The volume of acylinder is πr2h.
The capacity of any vessel is its internal volume so, the capacity of asoda canbe calculated using the formula πr2h.
Where,
r = base radius of the can
h = height of the can
Question 10. The volume of a cube whose edge is 24 m is 1296 m3 .
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    πr2h
  4.    All of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Volume of cube=(edge)3
Hence the volume of cube with edge 24 m is (24)3
= 13824 m3.
