Correct Answer: 60 kg
Explanation:
| Volume of water displaced | = (3 x 2 x 0.01) m3 |
| = 0.06 m3. |
| ∴ Mass of man | = Volume of water displaced x Density of water |
| = (0.06 x 1000) kg | |
| = 60 kg. |
Correct Answer: 49 m2
Explanation:
| Area of the wet surface | = [2(lb + bh + lh) - lb] |
| = 2(bh + lh) + lb | |
| = [2 (4 x 1.25 + 6 x 1.25) + 6 x 4] m2 | |
| = 49 m2. |
Correct Answer: 40
Explanation:
Let there be x pupils in the class.
| Total increase in marks = | ❨ | x x | 1 | ❩ | = | x |
| 2 | 2 |
| ∴ | x | = (83 - 63) ⟹ | x | = 20 ⟹ x= 40. |
| 2 | 2 |
Correct Answer: 40 years
Explanation:
Sum of the present ages of husband, wife and child = (27 x 3 + 3 x 3) years = 90 years.
Sum of the present ages of wife and child = (20 x 2 + 5 x 2) years = 50 years.
∴ Husband's present age = (90 - 50) years = 40 years.
Correct Answer: 85 kg
Explanation:
Total weight increased = (8 x 2.5) kg = 20 kg.
Weight of new person = (65 + 20) kg = 85 kg.
Correct Answer: 12Π cm3
Explanation:
Clearly, we have r = 3 cm and h = 4 cm.
| ∴ Volume = | 1 | Πr2h = | ❨ | 1 | x Π x 32 x 4 | ❩cm3 | = 12Π cm3. |
| 3 | 3 |
Correct Answer: 7 : 3
Explanation:
| Πr2h | = | 924 | ⟹ r = | ❨ | 924 | x 2 | ❩ | = 7 m. |
| 2Πrh | 264 | 264 |
| And, 2Πrh = 264 ⟹ h = | ❨ | 264 x | 7 | x | 1 | x | 1 | ❩ | = 6m. |
| 22 | 2 | 7 |
| ∴ Required ratio = | 2r | = | 14 | = 7 : 3. |
| h | 6 |
Correct Answer: 498.35 cm2
Explanation:
h = 14 cm, r = 7 cm.
So, l = √(7)2 + (14)2 = √245 = 7√5 cm.
| ∴ Total surface area | = Πrl + Πr2 | |||||||||
|
||||||||||
| = [154(√5 + 1)] cm2 | ||||||||||
| = (154 x 3.236) cm2 | ||||||||||
| = 498.35 cm2. |
Correct Answer: 25 cm
Explanation:
Total volume of water displaced = (4 x 50) m 3 = 200 m 3 .
| ∴ Rise in water level = | ❨ | 200 | ❩m 0.25 m = 25 cm. |
| 40 x 20 |
Correct Answer: 84
Explanation:
Let the length of the wire be h
| Radius = | 1 | mm | = | 1 | cm. | Then, |
| 2 | 20 |
| ⟹ | 22 | x | 1 | x | 1 | x h = 66. |
| 7 | 20 | 20 |
| ⟹ h = | ❨ | 66 x 20 x 20 x 7 | ❩ | = 8400 cm = 84 m. |
