Answer: Option D. -> 1864.5 kg
Let the depth of the cistern be h metres
Then,
$$\eqalign{
& 4.5 \times 3 \times h = 50 \cr
& \Rightarrow h = \frac{{50}}{{13.5}} \cr
& \Rightarrow h = \frac{{100}}{{27}} \cr} $$
Area of sheet required :
$$\eqalign{
& = lb + 2\left( {bh + lh} \right) \cr
& = lb + 2h\left( {l + b} \right) \cr
& = \left[ {4.5 \times 3 + 2 \times \frac{{100}}{{27}} \times \left( {4.5 + 3} \right)} \right]{{\text{m}}^2} \cr
& = \left( {13.5 + \frac{{200}}{{27}} \times 7.5} \right){\text{ }}{{\text{m}}^2} \cr
& = \left( {\frac{{27}}{2} + \frac{{500}}{9}} \right){{\text{m}}^2} \cr
& = \frac{{1243}}{{18}}{\text{ }}{{\text{m}}^2} \cr} $$
∴ Weight of lead :
$$\eqalign{
& = \left( {27 \times \frac{{1243}}{{18}}} \right)kg \cr
& = \left( {\frac{{3729}}{2}} \right)kg \cr
& = 1864.5\,kg \cr} $$

Answer: Option A. -> Rs. 6000
Since the tank is open at the top, we have :
Area of sheet required = Surface area of the tank
$$\eqalign{
& = lb + 2\left( {bh + lh} \right) \cr
& = \left[ {30 \times 20 + 2\left( {20 \times 12 + 30 \times 12} \right)} \right]{{\text{m}}^2} \cr
& = \left( {600 + 1200} \right){{\text{m}}^2} \cr
& = 1800{\text{ }}{{\text{m}}^2} \cr} $$
Length of sheet required :
$$\eqalign{
& = \left( {\frac{{{\text{Area}}}}{{{\text{Width}}}}} \right) \cr
& = \frac{{1800}}{3}m \cr
& = 600\,m \cr} $$
∴ Cost of the sheet
= Rs. (600 × 10)
= Rs. 6000

& = \left( {600 + 1200} \right){{\text{m}}^2} \cr
& = 1800{\text{ }}{{\text{m}}^2} \cr} $$
Length of sheet required :
$$\eqalign{
& = \left( {\frac{{{\text{Area}}}}{{{\text{Width}}}}} \right) \cr

= Rs. 6000
Answer: Option D. -> 12$$\sqrt 3 $$ cm
Since a cube has 4 diagonals, we have :
Length of a diagonal
$$\eqalign{
& = \left( {\frac{{12}}{4}} \right)cm \cr
& = 3\,cm \cr} $$
Let the length of each edge of the cube be a cm
Then,
$$\eqalign{
& \sqrt 3 a = 3 \cr
& or,a = \sqrt 3 \cr} $$
∴ Total length of the edges of the cube = $$12\sqrt 3\, $$ cm

Answer: Option D. -> 17 Times
Let the original length, breadth and height of the cuboid be x, 2x and 3x units respectively
Then, original volume = (x × 2x × 3x) cu.units = 6x3 cu.units
New length = 200% of x = 2x
New breadth = 300% of 2x = 6x
New height = 300% of 3x = 9x
∴ New volume :
= (2x × 6x × 9x) cu.units
= 108x3 cu.units
Increase in volume :
= (108x3 - 6x3) cu.units
= (102x3) cu.units
∴ Required ratio :
$$\eqalign{
& = \frac{{102{{\text{x}}^3}}}{{6{{\text{x}}^3}}} \cr
& = 17{\text{ }}\left( {{\text{Times}}} \right) \cr} $$

Answer: Option C. -> 237.5%
Let original edge = a
Then, original volume = a3
New edge :
$$\eqalign{
& = \frac{{150}}{{100}}a \cr
& = \frac{{3a}}{2} \cr} $$
New volume :
$$\eqalign{
& = {\left( {\frac{{3a}}{2}} \right)^3} \cr
& = \frac{{27{a^3}}}{8} \cr} $$
Increase in volume :
$$\eqalign{
& = \left( {\frac{{27{a^3}}}{8} - {a^3}} \right) \cr
& = \frac{{19{a^3}}}{8} \cr} $$
∴ Increase % :
$$\eqalign{
& = \left( {\frac{{19{a^3}}}{8} \times \frac{1}{{{a^3}}} \times 100} \right)\% \cr
& = 237.5\% \cr} $$

Answer: Option B. -> 1 dm
Let the thickness of the bottom be x cm
Then,
$${\mkern 1mu} {\left( {330 - 10} \right) \times \left( {260 - 10} \right) \times \left( {110 - x} \right)} = $$ $$8000 \times $$ $$1000$$
$$ \Rightarrow 320 \times 250 \times \left( {110 - x} \right) = 8000 \times 1000$$
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow \left( {110 - x} \right) = \frac{{8000 \times 1000}}{{320 \times 250}} = 100 \cr
