In questions 1 to 28, there are four options, out of which one is correct. Write the correct answer.

1. A cube of side 5 cm is painted on all its faces. If it is sliced into 1 cubic centimetre cubes, how many 1 cubic centimetre cubes will have exactly one of the

(a) 27 (b) 42 (c) 54 (d) 142

Solution: The correct answer is option (c) 54

Explanation:

Given: The cube side = 5 cm

The side of cube 5cm is cut into 5 equal parts, in which each of 1 cm

Therefore, the total number of cubes of side 1 cm = 25 + 25 + 25 + 25 + 25 = 125

In one face of the cube, there is a total of 9 small cubes painted.

We know that there are 6 faces in a cube.

Thus, a total of 9 x 6 faces will have one face painted.

(i.e.), 54

2. A cube of side 4 cm is cut into 1 cm cubes. What is the ratio of the surface areas of the original cubes and cut-out cubes?

(a) 1 : 2 (b) 1 : 3 (c) 1 : 4 (d) 1 : 6

Solution: The correct answer is option (c) 1: 4

Explanation:

Given: The cube side is 4cm

The side of cube 4cm is cut into small cubes, in which each of 1 cm

Therefore, the total number of cubes = 4 x 16 = 64 cubes

Thus, the number of cut-out cubes = 64/1

Now, the surface area of the cut-out cubes = c x 1 cm2

The surface area of the original cube = 6 x 42

Hence, the required ratio obtained is:

= 6 x 42 / = 64 x 6

= 1: 4

3. A circle of maximum possible size is cut from a square sheet of board. Subsequently, a square of maximum possible size is cut from the resultant circle. What will be the area of the final square?

(a) 3/4 of the original square.

(b) 1/2 of the original square.

c) 1/4 of the original square.

(d) 2/3 of the original square.

Solution: The correct answer is option (b) 1/2 of the original square

Explanation:

Let “a” be the side of the square sheet

Thus, the area of the bigger square sheet = a2 …. (1)

Now, the circle of maximum possible size from it is given as:

The radius of the circle = a/2 … (2)

Then the diameter = a

We know that any square in the circle of maximum size should have the length of the diagonal, which is equal to the diameter of the circle.

It means that the diagonal of a square formed inside a circle is “a”

Hence, the square side = a / √2

Thus, the area of square = a2 / 2

By equating the equations (1) and (2), we will get:

The area of the resultant square is ½ of the original square.

4. What is the area of the largest triangle that can be fitted into a rectangle of length l units and width w units?

(a) lw /2 (b) lw /3 (c) lw/6 (d) lw/4

Solution: The correct answer is option (a) lw /2

Explanation:

We know that the area of a triangle is (1/2) x base x height

Let ABCD be a triangle with length “l” and width “w”.

Here, we have to construct a triangle of maximum area inside the rectangle in all possible ways.

Now, the maximum base length is “l”

Maximum height is “w”.

Therefore, the area of the largest triangle is (1/2) x l x w.

5. If the height of a cylinder becomes 1/4 of the original height and the radius is doubled, then which of the following will be true?

(a) Volume of the cylinder will be doubled.

(b) Volume of the cylinder will remain unchanged.

(c) Volume of the cylinder will be halved.

(d) Volume of the cylinder will be1/4 of the original volume

Solution: The correct answer is option (b) Volume of the cylinder will remain unchanged.

Explanation:

We know that the volume of a cylinder is π × r2 × h

We know that the base radius and height of the cylinder are “r” and “h”, respectively.

Now, height “h” becomes (1/4)h and “r” becomes “2r”, then the volume of the cylinder is:

(V) = π × 4r2 × (1/4) h = πr2h = v

Therefore, the volume of the new cylinder = the volume of the original cylinder.

6. If the height of a cylinder becomes 1/4 of the original height and the radius is doubled, then which of the following will be true?

(a) Curved surface area of the cylinder will be doubled.

(b) Curved surface area of the cylinder will remain unchanged.

(c) Curved surface area of the cylinder will be halved.

(d) Curved surface area will be 1/4 of the original curved surface.

Solution: The correct answer is option (c) Curved surface area of the cylinder will be halved.

Explanation:

We know that the curved surface area of a cylinder with radius “r” and height “h” is given as

The curved surface area of a cylinder = 2πrh … (1)

Now, the new curved surface area of the cylinder with radius 2r and height (1/4)h, then the new curved surface area is

= 2π(2r)(1/4)h

= πrh

Now, multiply and divide the new curved surface area by 2, we will get

= (1/2) (2) πrh …. (2)

Now, by comparing (1) and (2), we get:

The new curved surface area of a cylinder is (1/2) times of the original curved surface area of a cylinder.

7. If the height of a cylinder becomes 1/4 of the original height and the radius is doubled, then which of the following will be true?

(a) Total surface area of the cylinder will be doubled.

(b) Total surface area of the cylinder will remain unchanged.

(c) Total surface of the cylinder will be halved.

(d) None of the above.

Solution: The correct answer is option (d) None of the above.

Explanation:

We know that the total surface area of a cylinder is 2π r(h + r), when the radius is “r” and the height is “h”.

If the radius is 2r and the height is (1/4)h, then the total surface area becomes,

= 2π (2r) ((1/4)h + 2r)

= 4 πr [(h+8r)/4]

= πr (h+8r)

8. The surface area of the three coterminous faces of a cuboid are 6, 15 and 10 cm2, respectively. The volume of the cuboid is

(a) 30 cm3 (b) 40 cm3 (c) 20 cm3 (d) 35 cm3

Solution: The correct answer is option (a) 30 cm3

Explanation:

It is given that the coterminous faces of a cuboid is given as:

l × b = 6

l × h = 15

b × h = 10

The formula for volume of a cuboid is l × b × h

l2 × b2 × h2 = 6 × 15 × 10

√ (lbh) = √ (900) = 30

9. A regular hexagon is inscribed in a circle of radius r. The perimeter of the regular hexagon is

(a) 3r (b) 6r (c) 9r (d) 12r

Solution: The correct answer is option (b) 6r

Explanation:

We know that a hexagon contains six equilateral triangles, where one of the vertices of each equilateral triangle meet at the centre of the hexagon.

The radius of the smallest, which is inscribing the hexagon, is equal to the sides of the equilateral triangle.

Therefore, the perimeter of a regular hexagon is 6r, as each side of the hexagon is equal to the radius of the hexagon.

10. The dimensions of a godown are 40 m, 25 m and 10 m. If it is filled with cuboidal boxes, each of dimensions 2 m × 1.25 m × 1 m, then the number of boxes will be

(a) 1800 (b) 2000 (c) 4000 (d) 8000

Solution: The correct answer is option (c) 4000

Explanation:

Given that, the dimensions of the godown are 40 m, 25 m and 10 m

Volume = 40 m × 25 m × 10 m = 10000 m3

Given that the volume of each cuboidal box is 2 m × 1.25 m × 1 m = 2.5 m3

Hence, the total number of boxes to be filled in the godown is

= 10000/2.5 = 4000

11. The volume of a cube is 64 cm3. Its surface area is

(a) 16 cm2 (b) 64 cm2 (c) 96 cm2 (d) 128 cm2

Solution: The correct answer is option (c) 96 cm2

Explanation:

Let “a” be the side of the cube

Given that, the volume of a cube is 64 cm3

It means that a3 = 64 cm3

Hence, a = 4 cm

Therefore, the surface area of a cube = 6 x 42 = 6 x 16 = 96

12. If the radius of a cylinder is tripled, but its curved surface area is unchanged, then its height will be

(a) tripled (b) constant (c) one-sixth (d) one third

Solution: The correct answer is option (d) one third

Explanation:

We know that the curved surface area of a cylinder is 2πrh, when the radius is “r”, and the height is “h”.

Let “H” be the new height.

When the radius of a cylinder is tripled, then the CSA of a cylinder becomes,

CSA = 2π (3r) H

CSA = 6πr. H

Now, compare the CSA of the cylinder to find the height

6πrH = 2πrh

H = 2πrh / 6πr

H = (1/3)h

Hence, the new height of the cylinder is one-third of the original height.

13. How many small cubes with edges of 20 cm each can be just accommodated in a cubical box of 2 m edge?

(a) 10 (b) 100 (c) 1000 (d) 10000

Solution: The correct answer is option (c) 1000

Explanation:

We know that the volume of a cube is (side)3

Therefore, the volume of each small cube is (20)3

= 8000 cm3

When it is converted into m3, we get

V = 0.008 m3

It is given that the volume of the cuboidal box is 23 = 8 m3

Now, the number of small cubes that can be accommodated in the cuboidal box is

= 8/ 0.008 = 1000

14. The volume of a cylinder whose radius r is equal to its height is

(a) 1/4 πr3 (b) πr3/32 (c) πr3 (d) πr3/8

Solution: The correct answer is option (c) πr3

Explanation:

The volume of the cylinder = πr2 h

Given that r = h

Then, the volume of cylinder = πr2 (r)

V = πr3

15. The volume of a cube whose edge is 3x is

(a) 27x3 (b) 9x3 (c) 6x3 (d) 3x3

Solution: The correct answer is option (a) 27x3

Explanation:

The volume of a cube is (side)3

V = (3x)3

V = 27x3

(a) 124 cm2 (b) 118 cm2 (c) 128 cm2 (d) 112 cm2

Solution: The correct answer is option (c) 128 cm2

Explanation:

Given:

The perimeter of a trapezium = 52 cm

The sum of its parallel sides = 52 – (10+10) = 32 cm

We know that, the area of a trapezium = (1/2) (a+b) h

A = (1/2) (32) (8)

A = 128 cm2

20. Area of a quadrilateral ABCD is 20 cm2 and perpendiculars on BD from opposite vertices are 1 cm and 1.5 cm. The length of BD is

(a) 4 cm (b) 15 cm (c) 16 cm (d) 18 cm

Solution: The correct answer is option (c) 16 cm

Explanation:

Given that, the area of a quadrilateral = 20 cm2

We know that the area of a quadrilateral = (1/2) (diagonal) (sum of the altitudes)

20 = (1/2) (1+1.5) BD

20 = (1/2) (2.5) BD

20×2 = 2.5 BD

40 = 2.5 BD

BD = 16 cm

21. A metal sheet 27 cm long, 8 cm broad and 1 cm thick is melted into a cube. The side of the cube is

(a) 6 cm (b) 8 cm (c) 12 cm (d) 24 cm

Solution: The correct answer is option (a) 6 cm

Explanation:

Given that, the metal sheet dimension is 27 cm long, 8 cm broad and 1 cm thick.

Thus, the volume of the sheet = (27)(8)(1) = 216 cm3

It is given that the metal sheet is melted to make a cube

Let the edge be “a”

Hence, a3 = 216 cm3

a = 6 cm

22. Three cubes of metal whose edges are 6 cm, 8 cm and 10 cm, respectively, are melted to form a single cube. The edge of the new cube is

(a) 12 cm (b) 24 cm (c) 18 cm (d) 20 cm

Solution: The correct answer is option (a) 12 cm

Explanation:

Given that, the sum of the volume of the three metal cubes = 63 + 83 +103

V = 216+ 512+ 1000

V = 1728 cm3

Let the side of the new cube be “a”

Therefore, the volume of the new cube = sum of the volume of the three cubes

a3 = 1728

Hence, a = 12 cm

23. A covered wooden box has inner measures 115 cm, 75 cm and 35 cm, and the thickness of the wood is 2.5 cm. The volume of the wood is

(a) 85,000 cm3 (b) 80,000 cm3 (c) 82,125 cm3 (d) 84,000 cm3

Solution: The correct answer is option (c) 82,125 cm3

Explanation:

The thickness of the wooden box is 2.5 cm

Then the outer measure of the wooden box be 115+5, 75+5, 35+5

Thus, the outer volume be = (120)(80)(40)

Outer volume = 384000 cm3

Given that, the inner volume = (115)(80)(40)

Inner volume = 301875 cm3

Hence, the volume of a wood = Outer volume – Inner volume

V = 384000 – 301875 cm3

V= 82125 cm3

24. The ratio of radii of two cylinders is 1: 2 and heights are in the ratio 2:3. The ratio of their volumes is

(a) 1:6 (b) 1:9 (c) 1:3 (d) 2:9

Solution: The correct answer is option (a) 1:6

Explanation:

Assume that r and R be the radii of the two cylinders and h and H be the height of the two cylinders

It is given that r/R = ½ and h/H = 2/3

We know that the volume of a cylinder = πr2 h

Now, v/V = πr2 h / πR2 H

v/ V = (r/R)2 (h/H)

v/V = (1/2)2 (2/3)

v/V = (1/4) (2/3) = 1/6

Therefore, the ratio of their volume is 1/6

25. Two cubes have volumes in the ratio 1:64. The ratio of the area of a face of the first cube to that of the other is

(a) 1:4 (b) 1:8 (c) 1:16 (d) 1:32

Solution: The correct answer is option (c) 1:16

Explanation:

Let a and b be two cubes

It is given that a3/b3 = 1/64

Then a/b = 1/4

Thus, the ratio of the areas is:

(a/b)2 = (1/4)2 = 1/16

26. The surface areas of the six faces of a rectangular solid are 16, 16, 32, 32, 72 and 72 square centimetres. The volume of the solid, in cubic centimetres, is

(a) 192 (b) 384 (c) 480 (d) 2592

Explanation:

It is given that the solid has a rectangular face, hence,

lb=16 …(1)

bh = 32 ….(2)

lh = 72 …(3)

Multiply the equations (1), (2), (3), we will get

(l)2(b) 2 (h) 2 = (16)(32)(72) = 36864

lbh = 192

Therefore, the volume of a solid is 192 cubic centimetre.

= 2πrh + πr2 + π (R2-r2)

= 2πrh + πR2

In questions 29 to 52, fill in the blanks to make the statements true.

29. A cube of side 4 cm is painted on all its sides. If it is sliced into 1 cubic cm cubes, then the number of such cubes that will have exactly two of their faces painted is __________.

Solution: 24

Explanation: Given that, the cube side is 4 cm, then the volume of the cube is 43 = 64 cm3

When it is sliced into 1 cubic cm, we will get 64 small cubes

In each side of the larger cube, the smaller cubes on the edges should have more than one face painted. Therefore, the cube, which is located at the corner of the larger cube, has three faces painted.

Hence, on each edge, two small cubes are left, in which two faces are painted.

It is known that the total number of edges in the cube = 12.

Thus, the number of small cubes with two faces painted = 12 × 2 = 24 small cubes.

30. A cube of side 5 cm is cut into 1 cm cubes. The percentage increase in volume after such cutting is __________.

Solution: No change

Explanation:

Volume of cube = 53 = 125

Now, when the cube is cut into 1 cubic cm, we will get 125 small cubes

Therefore, the volume of the big cube = volume of 125 cm with 1 cubic cm.

It means that, there is no change in the volume.

31. The surface area of a cuboid formed by joining two cubes of side face to face is __________.

Solution: 10a2

Explanation:

Let “a” be the side of two cubes.

When the two cubes are joined face to face, the figure obtained should be a cuboid having the same breadth and height as the combined cube has a length twice of the length of a cube.

It means that l = 2a, b = a and h = a

Hence, the total surface area of cuboid = 2(lb + bh + hl)

= 2(2a × a + a × a + a × 2a)

Simplify the above expression, we get

= 2[2a2 + a2 + 2a2]

= 10a2

32. If the diagonals of a rhombus get doubled, then the area of the rhombus becomes __________ its original area.

Solution: 4 times

Explanation:

Let p and q be the two diagonals of the rhombus

We know that the area of a rhombus = pq/2

If the diagonals are doubled, we will get

A= (4p)(4q)/2

Take 4 outside, we will get

A = 4(pq/2)

33. If a cube fits exactly in a cylinder with height h, then the volume of the cube is __________ and the surface area of the cube is __________.

Solution: volume is h3 and surface area is 6h2

Explanation:

Each side of a cube = h

Thus, the volume of cube = h3

Surface area of a cube = 6 (h2)

34. The volume of a cylinder becomes __________ the original volume if its radius becomes half of the original radius.

Solution: ¼ times

Explanation:

The volume of cylinder = πr2h (when the radius is r and height is “h”)

When the radius is halved, then it becomes

V = π (r/2)2h

V = ¼ (πr2h)

35. The curved surface area of a cylinder is reduced by ____________ per cent if the height is half of the original height.

Solution: 50%

Explanation:

The CSA of the cylinder with radius “r” and height “h” is 2πrh

When the height is halved, then the new CSA is 2πr (h/2) = πrh

Hence, the percentage reduction in CSA = [(2πrh – πrh) (100)]/ 2πrh = 50%

36. The volume of a cylinder which exactly fits in a cube of side a is

__________.

Solution: πa3 /4

Explanation:

When the cylinder exactly fits in the cube of side “a”, the height equals to the edges of the cube, and the radius equals to half the edges of a cube.

It means that,

h = a,and r = a/2

Then the volume of a cylinder be = πr2h

= π(a/2)2(a)

= πa3/4

37. The surface area of a cylinder which exactly fits in a cube of side b is

__________.

Solution: πb2

Explanation:

When the cylinder exactly fits in the cube of side “b”, the height equals to the edges of the cube and the radius equal to half the edges of a cube.

It means that,

h = b, and r = b/2

Then the CSA of a cylinder be = 2πrh

= 2π (b/2)(b)

= πb2

38. If the diagonal d of a quadrilateral is doubled and the heights h1 and h2 falling on d are halved, then the area of the quadrilateral is __________.

Solution: ½ (h1 +h2) d

Explanation:

Assume that ABCD be a quadrilateral, h1 and h2 are the heights on the diagonal BD = d, then the area of a quadrilateral be

= (1/2)(h1 +h2) BD

Since the diagonal is doubled and the heights are halved, we will get

= (1/2) [ (h1/2) +(h2/2) ] 2d

= ½ (h1 +h2) d

39. The perimeter of a rectangle becomes __________ times its original perimeter, if its length and breadth are doubled.

Solution: Two times

Explanation:

We know that the perimeter of a rectangle is 2(l+b)

When the length and breadth of the perimeter are doubled, we will get

P = 2(2l +2b)

Now take 2 outside,

P = 2 [2(l+b)]

40. A trapezium with 3 equal sides and one side double the equal side can be divided into __________ equilateral triangles of _______ area.

Solution: 3, equal areas

Explanation:

By using the SSS congruency rule of the triangle, we can show that a trapezium can be divided into three equilateral triangles with equal areas.

41. All six faces of a cuboid are __________ in shape and of ______ area.

Solution: Rectangular shape, different

Explanation:

It is known that a cuboid is made up of 6 rectangular faces which different lengths and breadths. Hence, it has a different area.

42. Opposite faces of a cuboid are _________ in area.

Solution: Equal

Explanation:

A cuboid is made up of 6 rectangular faces, but the opposite sides have equal length and breadth. Hence, the opposite areas are equal.

43. Curved surface area of a cylinder of radius h and height r is _______.

Solution: 2πrh

Explanation:

The CSA of a cylinder with radius “r” and height “h” is

CSA = 2π(r)(h)

44. Total surface area of a cylinder of radius h and height r is _________

Solution: 2πh(r + h)

Explanation:

Given radius = h and height = r

TSA of cylinder = CSA of cylinder + Area of top surface + Base area

TSA = 2πrh + πh2 + πh= 2πh(r + h)

45. Volume of a cylinder with radius h and height r is __________.

Solution: πh2r cubic units

46. Area of a rhombus =1/2 product of _________.

Solution: Diagonals

47. Two cylinders, A and B, are formed by folding a rectangular sheet of dimensions 20 cm × 10 cm along its length and also along its breadth, respectively. Then, the volume of A is ________ of the volume of B.

Solution: Twice

Explanation:

Rectangular sheet dimension is 20 cm × 10 cm

When a cylinder is folded along its length, which is 20 cm, then the resultant cylinder is with height 10 cm.

Again, if a cylinder is folded along its breadth, which is 10 cm, then the resultant cylinder is with height 20 cm

When the above conditions are applied in the volume of cylinder formula,

Then we get v = 2V

48. In the above question, the curved surface area of A is ________ curved surface area of B.

Solution: Same

Explanation:

For cylinder A, h= 10 cm and r = 10/π

Thus, CSA of cylinder A = 2πrh = 200

For cylinder B, h= 12 cm and r = 5/π

Thus, CSA of cylinder B = 2πrh = 200

49. __________ of a solid is the measurement of the space occupied by it.
