B) 5:1

C) 6:1

D) 7:1

10.A large cube is formed from the material obtained by melting three smaller cubes of 3, 4 and 5 cm side. What is the ratio of the total surface areas of the smaller cubes and the large cube?

A) 2 : 1

B) 3 : 2

C) 25 : 18

D) 27 : 20

Answers 

1. (B) Total volume of water displaced =(4 x 50)m^3 = 200 m^3

Rise in water level = 200/800 =0.25m = 25cm

2. (C) 1200
3. (D) Rs.876 

surface area of a cube= 6*8*8 = 384sq.ft

quantity of paint required=(384/16)=24kg

cost of painting=36.5*24 = Rs.876

4. (A) 814

Length of largest tile = H.C.F. of 1517 cm and 902 cm = 41 cm.

Area of each tile = (41 x 41) cm^2

Required number of tiles = 1517*902/41*41= 814

5. A) 3:1

6. B) 18cm
2(l+b)/b = 5/1

2l + 2b = 5b

3b = 2l

b =2/3 l

Then, Area = 216 cm^2

l x b = 216

l xl*2/3 l =216

l^2= 324

l = 18 cm.

7. C) 6:1 

Volume of the cube/volume of pyramid=a^3/1/3 a^3*a/2

8. A) 50%
Let l, b the sides of the base, so that the area of the base = lb
remains constant.
Let ‘h’ be the height of the solid.
Volume of the solid, V = l× b× h.
Since the volume is to be increased by 50%

9.B

10. C
