Q4) A rectangular field has to be fenced on three sides leaving a side of 20 feet uncovered. If the area of the field is 680 square feet, how many feet of fencing will be required?
A) 82
B) 92
C) 95

Solution :
Q5) A hall is 15 m long and 12 m broad. If the sum of the areas of the floor and the ceiling is equal to the sum of the areas of four walls, the volume of the hall is:
A) 720
B) 900
C) 1200
D)1800
Solution:
h =180/27m =20/3m.
Volume = (15 x 12 x 20/3) m3= 1200 m3
Q6) A cylindrical jar of radius 15 cm is filled with water up to a height of 25 cm. 15 spherical balls of radii 2 cm each are immersed in the jar. Find the new level to which water is filled in the jar. [Take π = 3.]
A) 25.71 cm
B) 32.71 cm
C) 27.71 cm
D) 30.71 cm
Solution:
[Volume of the sphere = 4 / 3π (r3).]
Volume of 15 spheres = 15 × 32 = 480 cm3
[Multiply.]
Volume of water in the jar = 3 × (152) × 25 = 16875 cm3
[Volume of the cylinder = π (r2) h.]
Total volume of water + balls(V) ⇒ 480 + 16875 = 17355 cm3
[Simplify.]
Volume of the water in the cylinder when spherical balls are immersed = 17355 cm3
⇒ 3 × (15)2 h = 17355 cm3
Height to which water is filled in the jar ⇒ 173553 × (15)² = 25.71 cm
Q7) 50 men took a dip in a water tank 40 m long and 20 m broad on a religious day. If the average displacement of water by a man is 4 m3, then the rise in the water level in the tank will be:
A) 20 cm
B) 25 cm
C) 35 cm
D) 50 cm
Solution:
Rise in water level = (200/40 x 20) m 0.25 m = 25 cm
Q8) A cube of edge 15 cm is immersed completely in a rectangular vessel containing water. If the dimensions of the base of the vessel are 20 cm × 15 cm, find the rise in water level.
A) 10.25 cm
B) 11.25 cm
C) 12.25 cm
D)13.25 cm
Solution:
Raise in water level = (Volume/Area) = (15 x 15 x 15/ 20 x 15)cm = 11.25 cm
Q9. The side of a cube is 15 m, find it's surface area?
A) 1350 m2
B) 1250 m2
C) 1300 m2
D) 1450 m2
Solution:
6 a2 = 6 × 225 = 1350 m2
Q10) The volume of a cube is 1728 cc. Find its surface.
A) 864 Sq.cm
B) 648 Sq.cm
C) 486 Sq.cm
D) 468 Sq.cm
Solution:
6a2 = 6 * 12 * 12 = 864 Sq.cm
