Questions and Answers

Q 1 - The length of the longest shaft that can be kept in a room 5 m long, 4 m wide and 3 m high, is:

A - 5√2 m

B - 6√2 m

C - 7√2 m

D - none of these

Answer : A

Explanation

Required length = √[(5) 2+(4) 2+(3) 2]=√(25+16)+(9)=√50m =√25*2 m =5√2m

Q 2 - A cuboidal water tank contains 216 liters of water. Its profundity is 1/3 of its length and broadness is 1/2of 1/3 of the distinction between Length and profundity. The length of the tank is:

A - 2 dm

B - 6 dm

C - 18 dm

D - 72 dm

Answer : C

Explanation

Volume of tank = 216 ltr.  =216 dm3
Let the length of the tank be x dm. Then,
Depth =x/3 dm and breadth= 1/6 of (x-x/3) dm = (1/6*2x/3) dm= x/9 dm
∴ x*x/9*x/3= 216 ⇒x3= 216*27= 63*33 ⇒x= (6*3)=  18dm
Hence, length of the tank =18 dm

Q 3 - A horticultural field is as a rectangle of length 20m and Width 14m. A pit 6m long, 3m wide and 2.5 m profound is delved in a corner of the field and the earth taken out of the pit is spread consistently over the remaining range of the field. The level of the field has been raised by:

A - 15.16 cm

B - 16.17 cm

C - 17.18 cm

D - 18.19 cm

Answer : C

Explanation

Volume of earth dug out = (6*3*5/2) m3=45 m3
Area of the remaining field =[(20*14)-(6*3)]m2= (280-18)m2=262m2
Let the level of the field raised be h cm. Then,
262*h/100= 45 ⇒ h= (45*100)/262 cm =17.18 cm

Q 4 - A reservoir of limit 8000 liters measures remotely 3.3m by 2.6m by 1.1m and its dividers are 5cm thick. The thickness of the base is:

A - 90 cm

B - 1 dm

C - 1 m

D - 1.1 m

Answer : B

Explanation

Volume of the cistern = 8000ltr. =8000dm3
External length = 33 dm, external breadth =26 dm and external depth = 11 dm
Internal length = (33-5/10*2) dm = 32 dm
Internal breadth = (26-5/10*2) dm = 25 dm
Internal depth = (11-x) dm
∴ 32*25*(11-x) = 8000 ⇒ (11-x) =8000/ (32*25) =10
⇒ x = (11-10) =1dm

Q 5 - The aggregate surface zone of a solid shape of side 27 cm is:

A - 2916 cm2

B - 729 cm2

C - 4374 cm2

D - 19683 cm2

Answer : C

Explanation

Surface area =6a2= (6*27*27) cm2= 4374cm2

Q 6 - Two solid shapes have their volumes in the proportion 1:27. The proportion of their surface territories is:

A - 1:3

B - 1:8

C - 1:9

D - 1:18

Answer : C

Explanation

a3/b3= 1/27= (1/3)3⇒ (a/b) 3= (1/3)3⇒a/b=1/3 ⇒b= 3a
S₁/S₂=6a2/6b2= a2/ (3a) 2= a2/9a2= 1/9 = 1:9

Q 7 - A rectangular box measure s inside 1.6 m long, 1m expansive and 60 cm profound. The no. of cubical obstructs each of edge 20 cm that can be pressed inside the crate, is:

A - 30

B - 53

C - 60

D - 120

Answer : D

Explanation

Required no. = (160*100*60)/ (20*20*20) = 120

Q 8 - If the tallness of a barrel is expanded by 15% and the span of the base is diminished by 10%, then by what percent will its bended surface region change?

A - 3.5 % diminished

B - 3.5% expansion

C - 5% diminish

D - 5% expansion

Answer : B

Explanation

Let the original radius =r and height = h
Then curved surface area = 2πrh
New height = 115% of h = (115/100*h) = 23h/20
New radius = 90% of r = (90/100*r) = 9r/10
New curved surface area = (2π*9r/10*23h/20) = 207πrh/100
Increase = (207πrh/100-2 πrh) = 7 πrh/100
Increase %= (7 πrh/100*1/2 πrh*100) %= 3.5%

Q 9 - A empty greenery enclosure roller 63cm wide with a circumference of 440 cm is made of iron 4 cm thick. The volume of the iron utilized is:

A - 56372 cm3

B - 58752 cm3

C - 54982 cm3

D - 57636 cm3

Answer : B

Explanation

2πr= 440 ⇒2*22/7*r= 440 ⇒r= (440*7/44) = 70 cm
Outer radius = 70cm, inner radius = (70-4) = 66cm
Volume of iron = π [(70)2-(66)2*63cm3= (22/7*136*4*63)
= 58752 cm3

Q 10 - In the event that the sweep of a circle is multiplied, its surface region will increment by:

A - Half

B - 200 %

C - 300%

D - 400%

Answer : C

Explanation

Let, original radius=r. Then surface area= 4πr2
New radius= 2r. New surface area = 4π (2r) 2= 16πr2
Increase % in surface areas = (12πr2/4 πr2*100) %= 300%
