- Question
A cistern of capacity 8000 litres measures externally 3.3 m by 2.6 m by 1.1 m and its walls are 5 cm thick. The thickness of the bottom is:
Options- A. 90 cm
- B. 1 dm
- C. 1 m
- D. 1.1 cm
- Correct Answer
- 1 dm
Explanation
Let the thickness of the bottom be x cm.Then, [(330 - 10) x (260 - 10) x (110 - x)] = 8000 x 1000
⟹ 320 x 250 x (110 - x) = 8000 x 1000
⟹ (110 - x) = 8000 x 1000 = 100 320 x 250 ⟹ x = 10 cm = 1 dm.

Correct Answer: 1200
Explanation:
2(15 + 12) x h = 2(15 x 12)
| ⟹ h = | 180 | m = | 20 | m. |
| 27 | 3 |
| ∴ Volume = | ❨ | 15 x 12 x | 20 | ❩m3 | = 1200 m3. |
| 3 |
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. |
| 22 |
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: 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: 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: 25 : 18
Explanation:
Volume of the large cube = (3 3 + 4 3 + 5 3 ) = 216 cm 3
Let the edge of the large cube be a.
So, a3 = 216 ⟹ a = 6 cm.
| ∴ Required ratio = | ❨ | 6 x (32 + 42 + 52) | ❩ | = | 50 | = 25 : 18. |
| 6 x 62 | 36 |
Correct Answer: 3.696 kg
Explanation:
External radius = 4 cm,
Internal radius = 3 cm.

| = 462 cm3. |
∴ Weight of iron = (462 x 8) gm = 3696 gm = 3.696 kg.
Correct Answer: 750 cu. m
Explanation:
1 hectare = 10,000 m 2
So, Area = (1.5 x 10000) m2 = 15000 m2.
| Depth = | 5 | m | = | 1 | m. |
| 100 | 20 |
| ∴ Volume = (Area x Depth) = | ❨ | 15000 x | 1 | ❩m3 | = 750 m3. |

Correct Answer: 5120
Explanation:
Clearly, l = (48 - 16)m = 32 m,
b = (36 -16)m = 20 m,
h = 8 m.
∴ Volume of the box = (32 x 20 x 8) m3 = 5120 m3.
Correct Answer: 60Π m2
Explanation:
l = 10 m,
h = 8 m.
So, r = √l2 - h2 = √(10)2 - 82 = 6 m.
∴ Curved surface area = Πrl = (Π x 6 x 10) m2 = 60Π m2.
