- Question
A town has a population of 4000 requires 140 liters of water per head. It has a tank measuring 18m x 12m x 8m. The water of this tank will suffice for ____ days?
Options- A. 3
- B. 4
- C. 5
- D. 2
- Correct Answer
- 3
ExplanationWater required = 4000 x 140 = 560000 lit = 560 cu.m (1 cu.m = 1000 lit)
Volume of tank = 18 x 12 x 8 = 1728 cu.m
Water of this tank will suffice for = 1728/560 = 3 days.

Correct Answer: 8.04kg
Explanation:
Volume of the metal used in the box = External Volume - Internal Volume
= [(50 x 40 x 23) - (44 x 34 x 20)] cu.cm
= 16080 cu.cm
Weight of the metal =[(16080 x 0.5)/1000] kg = 8.04 kg.
Correct Answer: 486
Explanation:
Volume of new cube = =
Edge of new cube = = 9cm
Surface area of the new cube = ( 6 x 9 x 9) sq.cm = 486 sq.cm
Correct Answer: 216 sq.cm
Explanation:
Let the edge of the cube be a.
so, the diagonal a =
=> a=6
Surface area = = 6 x 6 x 6 = 216 sq.cm
Correct Answer: 18 cm
Explanation:
= =40
Also, lb=20
= 41 + 40 =81
(l + b) = 9.
Perimeter = 2(l + b) = 18 cm.
Correct Answer: 40cm
Explanation:
Let the breadth of the wall be x metres.
Then, Height = 5x metres and Length = 40x metres.
x * 5x * 40x = 12.8
=>
=> x = 4/10 m
=> x = (4/10)*100 = 40 cm
Correct Answer: 25 cm
Explanation:
Total volume of water displaced =(4 x 50) cu.m = 200 cu.m
Rise in water level = =0.25m = 25cm
Correct Answer: 8
Explanation:
Side of smallest cube = L.C.M of 5, 10, 20 = 20cm
Volume of the cube = (20 x 20 x 20)cu.cm = 8000 cu.cm
Volume of the block= (5 x 10 x 20)cu.cm = 1000 cu.cm
Number of blocks = (8000/1000) = 8
Correct Answer: 1 dm
Correct Answer: 17m
Explanation:
Length of longest pole = Length of the diagonal of the room
Correct Answer: 750 cubic meter
Explanation:
1 hectare = 10,000 Sq.m
So, Area = (1.5 x 10000) Sq.m
Depth = 5/100 m = 1/20 m
Therefore, Volume = Area X Depth = 15000 x (1/20)= 750 cu.m
