- Question
- Three cubes of sides 1 cm, 6 cm and 8 cm are melted to form a new cube. Find half of the surface area of the new cube.?
Options- A. 243 sq cm
- B. 463 sq cm
- C. 486 sq cm
- D. 293 sq cm
- Correct Answer
- 243 sq cm
ExplanationVolume (new cube) = (13 + 63 + 83 ) = 729 cm3
a3 = 729
? a = ? 729
? Surface area of the new cube = 6a2
= 6 x 92 = 486 sq cm
Surface area/2 = 486/2 = 243 sq cm - 1. Two, trains, one from Howrah to Patna and the other from Patna to Howrah, start simultaneously. After they meet, the trains reach their destinations after 9 hours and 16 hours respectively. The ratio of their speeds is:

Correct Answer: 4 : 3
Explanation:
Let us name the trains as A and B. Then,
(A's speed) : (B's speed) = √b : √a = √16 : √9 = 4 : 3.
Correct Answer: 40 sec
Explanation:
| Formula for converting from km/hr to m/s: X km/hr = | ❨ | X x | 5 | ❩ | m/s. |
| 18 |
| Therefore, Speed = | ❨ | 45 x | 5 | ❩m/sec | = | 25 | m/sec. |
| 18 | 2 |
Total distance to be covered = (360 + 140) m = 500 m.
| Formula for finding Time = | ❨ | Distance | ❩ |
| Speed |
| ∴ Required time = | ❨ | 500 x 2 | ❩sec | = 40 sec. |
| 25 |
Correct Answer: 50 m
Explanation:
| 2 kmph = | ❨ | 2 x | 5 | ❩ | m/sec = | 5 | m/sec. |
| 18 | 9 |
| 4 kmph = | ❨ | 4 x | 5 | ❩ | m/sec = | 10 | m/sec. |
| 18 | 9 |
Let the length of the train be x metres and its speed by y m/sec.
| Then, | ❨ | x | ❩ | = 9 and | ❨ | x | ❩ | = 10. |
|
|
∴ 9y - 5 = x and 10(9y - 10) = 9x
⟹ 9y - x = 5 and 90y - 9x = 100.
On solving, we get: x = 50.
∴ Length of the train is 50 m.
Correct Answer: 3
Explanation:
Then number 6 x 2 must be divisible by 8.
∴ x = 3, as 632 is divisible 8.
Correct Answer: 555681
Explanation:
987 = 3 x 7 x 47
So, the required number must be divisible by each one of 3, 7, 47
553681 → (Sum of digits = 28, not divisible by 3)
555181 → (Sum of digits = 25, not divisible by 3)
555681 is divisible by 3, 7, 47.
Correct Answer: 23
Explanation:
L.C.M. of 5, 6, 4 and 3 = 60.
On dividing 2497 by 60, the remainder is 37.
∴ Number to be added = (60 - 37) = 23.
Correct Answer: 4.5
Explanation:
Let (17) 3.5 x (17) x = 17 8
Then, (17)3.5 + x = 178.
∴ 3.5 + x = 8
⟹ x = (8 - 3.5)
⟹ x = 4.5
Correct Answer: 2
Explanation:
A leap year has (52 week + 2 days).
So, the number of odd days in a leap year is 2
Correct Answer: 1.75
Explanation:
Series pattern
16 x 0.25 = 4,
4 x 0.50 = 2,
2 x 0.75 =1.5,
1.5 x 1.00 = 1.5
Should come in place of 1.75
1.5 x 1.25 = 1.875
Clearly, 1.75 is wrong and will be replaced by 1.5
Correct Answer: 48
Explanation:
The ratio of speeds = The ratio of distances, when time is constant
? The ratio of distance covered by leopard to the tiger = 12 : 25
Again, ratio of rounds made by leopard to the tiger = 12 : 25
hence, leopard makes 48 rounds, when tiger makes 100 rounds
