1. Question: A tank `4` m long, `1.5` m wide is dug in a field `31` m long and `10` m wide. If the earth dug out is evenly spread out over the filed, the rise in level of the field is :

    A
    `3.1 cm`

    B
    `6.2 cm`

    C
    `5 cm`

    D
    `4.8 cm`

    Note: Volume of earth dug out `= (4 xx 5/2 xx 3/2) m^3` `= 15 m^3.` Area over which earth is spread `= (31 xx 10 - 4 xx 5/2) m^2` `= 300 m^2` Rise in Level `= (Volume/Area)` `= (15/300 xx 100) cm` `= 5 cm.`

  2. Question: If each edge of a cube is doubled, then its volume :

    A
    is doubled

    B
    becomes `4` times

    C
    becomes `6` times

    D
    becomes` 8` times

    Note: Let original edge`= a` Then, volume`= a^3` New edge`= 2a.` So, new volume `= (2a)^3 = 8a^3.` :. Volume becomes `8` times.

  3. Question: If each edge of a cube is increased by`25%` then the percentange increase in its surface area is :

    A
    `25%`

    B
    `50%`

    C
    `48.75%`

    D
    `56.25%`

    Note: Let original edge = a. Then, surface area`= 6a^2` New edge`= 125/100 a = (5a/4).` New surface area `= 6 xx ((5a)/(4))^2` `= (75a^2)/8.` Increase in surface area `= ((75a^2)/(8) - 6a^2)` `= (27a^2)/8.` Increase`% = ((27a^2)/8 xx 1/(6a^2) xx 100)%` `= 56.25%.`

  4. Question: Two cubes have their volumes in the ratio `8 : 27.` The ratio of the volume of the sphere to that of the cube is :

    A
    `2 : 3`

    B
    `3 : 2`

    C
    `4 : 9`

    D
    `64 : 729`

    Note: Let their edges be a. Then, `a^3/b^3 = 8/27 ⇔ (a/b)^3` `= (2/3)^3 ⇔ a/b = 2/3` `⇔ a^2/b^2 ⇔ 6a^2/6b^2 = 4/9.`

  5. Question: A sphere and a cube have equal surface areas. The ratio of the volume of the sphere to that of the cube is :

    A
    `√π : √6`

    B
    `√2 : √π`

    C
    `√ π: √3`

    D
    `√6 : √π`

    Note: `4π R^2 = 6a^2 ⇒ R^2/a^2` `= 3/(2π) ⇒ R/a` `=(√3)/(√2π).` `Volume of sphere/Volume of cube` `= (4/3 πR^3)/a^3` `= (4)/(3) π.(R/a)^3` `= 4/3π . (3√3)/(2π√2π)` `= (2√3)/(√2π)` `= √12/√2π` `= (√6)/(√π).`

  6. Question: The ratio of the volume of a cube to that of a sphere which will fit inside the cube is :

    A
    `4 : R`

    B
    `4 : 3r`

    C
    `6 : r`

    D
    `2 : r`

    Note: Let the edge of the cube be a. Then,volume of the cube `= a^3.` Radius of the sphere `= (a/2).` Volume of the sphere `= 4/3 r (a/2)^3` `= (ra^3)/6.` :. Requied Ratio `= a^3 : (ra^3/6` `= 6 : r.`

    C
    `576 cm^2`

    D

    A
    `xyz`

    B

    C
    `√xyz`

    D
    `3√xyz`

    Note: Let length` = 1`breadth`= 6 cm` & height`= h.` Then, lb`= x, bh`= y, and lh`= z.` On multiplying, we get `(lbh)^2 = xyz` `or lbh =√xyz.` :. Volume`= √xyz.`
