Question Detail

If the volume of two cubes are in the ratio 27:1, the ratio of their edges is:

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let the edges be a and b of two cubes, then

\begin{aligned}
\frac{a^3}{b^3} = \frac{27}{1} \\
=> \left( \frac{a}{b} \right)^3 = \left( \frac{3}{1} \right)^3 \\
\frac{a}{b}=\frac{3}{1} \\
=> a:b = 3:1
\end{aligned}

1. 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}

2. 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

3. If a right circular cone of height 24 cm has a volume of 1232 cm cube, then the area of its curved surface is :

\begin{aligned} 450 cm^2 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 550 cm^2 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 650 cm^2 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 750 cm^2 \end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Volume is given, we can calculate the radius from it, then by calculating slant height, we can get curved surface area.
\begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{3}*\pi *r^2*h = 1232 \\
\frac{1}{3}*\frac{22}{7}*r^2*24 = 1232 \\
r^2 = \frac{1232*7*3}{22*24} = 49 \\
r = 7 \\
\text{Now, r = 7cm and h = 24 cm } \\
l = \sqrt{r^2+h^2} \\
= \sqrt{7^2+24^2} = 25cm \\
\text{Curved surface area =}\pi rl\\
= \frac{22}{7}*7*25 = 550 cm^2
\end{aligned}

4. A hollow spherical metallic ball has an external diameter 6 cm and is 1/2 cm thick. The volume of metal used in the metal is:

\begin{aligned} 47\frac{1}{5} cm^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 47\frac{3}{5} cm^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 47\frac{7}{5} cm^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 47\frac{9}{5} cm^3 \end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Please note we are talking about "Hollow" ball. Do not ignore this word in this type of question in a hurry to solve this question.
If we are given with external radius and thickness, we can get the internal radius by subtracting them. Then the volume of metal can be obtained by its formula as,

External radius = 3 cm,
Internal radius = (3-0.5) cm = 2.5 cm

\begin{aligned}
\text{Volume of sphere =}\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \\
= \frac{4}{3}*\frac{22}{7}*[3^2 - 2.5^2]cm^3 \\
= \frac{4}{3}*\frac{22}{7}*\frac{91}{8}cm^3 \\
= \frac{143}{3} cm^3 \\
= 47\frac{2}{3}cm^3
\end{aligned}

5. 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}
