Question 41.


The area of the hexagon, if AB = BC = CD = DE = EF = FA = 13cm and AO = PD = 5cm, is ___ cm2


The Area Of The Hexagon, If AB = BC = CD = DE = EF = FA = 13...


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

The Area Of The Hexagon, If AB = BC = CD = DE = EF = FA = 13...


In the given figure, ∆AOB is right-angled triangle right angled at O.
So, 


AO2 + OB2AB2.


  52 + OB2132.


OB2 = 169 - 25 = 144


OB = 12cm


So now the total area of the hexagon = 4× Area of ∆AOB+ 2× Area of rectangle BCPO


Area = 4 × (12 × OB × AO) + 2 × (BC × OB)


Area = 4 × (12 × 12 × 5) + 2 × (13 × 12)


Area = 4 × (30) + 2 × (156)


Area = 432cm2.


 


Question 42.


The area of the floor of a rectangular hall of length 60 m is 1200 m2. The dimensions of the carpet available is  size 8 m × 6 m .Hence  25 such carpets are required to cover the hall.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     32 m2
  4.     None of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

First, we need to calculate the area of one carpet:


Area of one carpet = 8 × 6 = 48 m2.


Since total area of the floor of the hall = 1200 m2.


Therefore, number of carpets required = area of floorarea of one carpet = 120048 = 25.


 


Question 43.


Abhishek has three containers:


a)Cylindrical container A having radius r and height 2r


b)Cubical container B having its edge 34r


c)Cuboidal container C having dimensions r×54r×73r


The arrangement of the containers in the increasing order of their volumes is


  1.     A, B, C
  2.     B, C, A
  3.     C, A, B
  4.     cannot be arranged
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> B, C, A
:
B

Volume of Cylinder is given by: Vcylinder=π×radius2×height
Volume of Cube is given by: Vcube=edge3
Volume of Cube is given by Vcuboid=length×breadth×height
Therefore,
Vcylinder=227×r2(2r)=447r3
Vcube=(34r)3=2764r3
Vcuboid=r×54r×73r=3512r3
Comparing the above volumes we get that  VcubeVcuboidVcylinder


Question 44.


If the height of a cylinder becomes one-eighth of the original height and the radius is doubled, then which of the following will be true? 


  1.     Volume of the cylinder will be doubled.
  2.     Volume of the cylinder will remain unchanged.
  3.     Volume of the cylinder will be halved.
  4.     Volume of the cylinder will be thrice that of the original cylinder
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Volume of the cylinder will be halved.
:
C

Let us assume the height and radius of the original cylinder is l and r respectively.


Let V1 be the original volume and V2 be the volume after the change in height and radius.


Therefore volume of the original cylinder is given by: V=πr2l


After, height of a cylinder becomes 18of the original height and the radius is doubled


We have, r2=2r and l2=l8


So the new volume is given by:


V2=πr22l2=π(2r)2(l8)


V2=4πr2l8


V2=πr2l2=V12


V2=V12
Hence the volume of the cylinder will be halved.


Question 45.


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                       =144 cm3


Since volume of a cuboid is calculated as l×b×h, the required volume is 144 cm3.


Question 46.


How many small cuboids with dimensions 20 cm × 25 cm × 40 cm each can be accommodated in a cubical box of edge 2 m ? 


  1.     4
  2.     4000
  3.     400
  4.     40
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 400
:
C

Volume of one small cuboid = l × b × h = 20cm × 25cm × 40cm


Since the edge length of the cubical box = 2 m = 200 cm


Now, Volume of the cubical box = 200cm×200cm×200cm


So the number of cuboids that can be just accommodated in the box = Volume of the cubical boxvolume of the cuboid.


Number of cuboids = 200×200×20020×25×40=400


 


Question 47.


A trapezium has an area of 570 cm2. The height of the trapezium is 5 cm and the larger parallel side is twice in length as the smaller parallel side.Choose the correct option. 


  1.     Length of the larger side is 152 cm
  2.     Length of the smaller side is 76 cm
  3.     Length of the smaller side is 38 cm
  4.     Length of the larger side is 76 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Length of the larger side is 152 cm
:
A and B

Let h be the height of a trapezium, 'a' be the length of a larger parallel side and 'b' be the length of a smaller parallel side.


Area of trapezium is given by:


A=12×(a+b)×h     


Since larger parallel side is twice in length as the smaller parallel side
 a=2b


 A=12×(2b+b)×h 


  A=3b×h2 


  570=3b×52  


    b=76cm


a=2b=2×76=152cm


Question 48.


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
 Discuss Question
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 49.


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 the number 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 each mat costs Rs. 7


Then the cost of 15 mats costs = 7 x 15 = Rs.105
