    $24$
  • B
    $48$
  • C
    $72$
  • $96$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$96$

Let,
$l \rightarrow$ Length of the first cuboid
$\mathrm{b} \rightarrow$ Breadth of the first cuboid
$h \rightarrow$ Height of the first cuboid
Volume of the cuboid is $12 \mathrm{~cm}^3$
Dimensions of the new cuboid are,
Lenghth $(L)=2 l$
Breadth $(B)=2 b$
Height $(H)=2 h$
We are asked to find the volume of the new cuboid
We know that,
Volume of the new cuboid,
$\mathrm{V}^{\prime}=\mathrm{LBH}$
$=(2 \mathrm{l})(2 \mathrm{~b})(2 \mathrm{~h})$
$=8(\mathrm{lbh})$
$=8 \mathrm{~V}\{\text { Since, } \mathrm{V}=\mathrm{lbh}\}$
$=8 \times 12\left\{\text { Since, } \mathrm{V}=12 \mathrm{~cm}^3\right\}$
$=96 \mathrm{~cm}^3$
Thus, volume of the new cuboid is $96 \mathrm{~cm}^3$.
Hence, the correct option is $(d)$.

If each edge of cuboid of surface area $S$ is doubled, then surface area of the new cuboid is:
  • A
    $2S$
  • $4S$
  • C
    $6S$
  • D
    $8S$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$4S$
Let,
$l \rightarrow $ Length of the first cuboid
$b \rightarrow $ Breadth of the first cuboid
$h \rightarrow $ Height of the first cuboid
And,
$L \rightarrow $ Length of the new cuboid
$B →$ Breadth of the new cuboid
$H \rightarrow $ Height of the new cuboid
We know that,
$L = 2l$
$B = 2b$
$H = 2h$
Surface area of the first cuboid,
$S' = 2(LB + BH + HL)$
$= 2[(2l)(2b) + (2b)(2h) + (2h)(2l)]$
$= 2(4lb + 4bh + 4hl)$
$= 4[2(lb + bh + hl)]$
$= 4S$
The surface area of the new cuboid is $4S$.
So, the correct choice is $(b)$.

The number of cubes of side $3\ cm$ that can be cut from a cuboid of dimensions $10cm \times 9cm \times 6cm$, is:
  • A
    $9$
  • B
    $10$
  • $18$
  • D
    $20$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$18$
We have the cuboid of dimensions $10\ cm \times 9\ cm \times 6\ cm$.
We are to find how many cubs with edge $3\ cm$ can be cut from the given cuboid
Let us cut this cuboid into following two cuboids
$9cm \times 9cm \times 6cm$
And
$1\ cm \times 9\ cm \times 6\ cm$
So, the number of cubes of sides $3\ cm$, that can be cut from the firest cuboid,
$=\frac{9\text{cm}\times9\text{cm}\times6\text{cm}}{3\text{cm}\times3\text{cm}\times3\text{cm}}$
$= 18$
We can not cut single cube of side $3\ cm$ from the second cuboid of dimension $1cm \times 9cm \times 6cm$
Hence, this much volume is useless for us.
So, we can cut maximum $18$ cubes of side 3cm from the cuboid of dimensions $10cm \times 9cm \times 6cm$.
Hence, the correct option is $(c)$.

The length, width and height of a rectangular solid are in the ratio of $3: 2: 1$. If the volume of the box is $48 \mathrm{~cm}^3$, the total surface area of the box is:
  • A
    $27 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
  • B
    $32 \mathrm{~cm}^3$
  • C
    $44 \mathrm{~cm}^3$
  • $88 \mathrm{~cm}^3$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$88 \mathrm{~cm}^3$
Length $(l)$, width $(b)$ and height $(h)$ of the rectangular solid are in the ratio $3: 2: 1$.
So, we can take,
$(l)$ $=3 \times \mathrm{cm}$
$(b)$ $=2 x \mathrm{~cm}$
$(h)$ $=x \mathrm{~cm}$
We need to find the total surface area of the box
Volume of the box,
$V=48 \mathrm{~cm}^3$
$l \mathrm{bh}=48$
$(3 \mathrm{x})(2 \mathrm{x}) \mathrm{x}=48$
$6 \mathrm{x}^3=48$
$\mathrm{x}^3=8$
$x=2$
Thus,
Surface area of the box,
$=2(l b+b h+h l)$
$=2[(3 x)(2 x)+(2 x) x+(x)(3 x)]$
$=2\left(11 x^2\right)$
$=22 x^2$
$=22(2)^2$
$=88 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
Thus total surface area of the box is $88 \mathrm{~cm}^2$.
Hence, the correct option is $(d)$.

If each edge of a cube is increased by $50\ %$, the percentage increase in its surface area is:
​​​​​​
  • A
    $50\ %$
  • B
    $75\ %$
  • C
    $100\ %$
  • $125\ %$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$125\ %$

Let,
$a \rightarrow $ Initial edge of the cube
$A \rightarrow $ Initial surface area of the cube
$a' \rightarrow $ Increased edge of the cube
$A' \rightarrow $ Increased surface area of the cube
We have to find the percentage increase in the surface in the surface area of the cube
Since it's given that
$\text{a}'=\text{a}+\text{a}\times\frac{50}{100}$
$=\frac{3}{2}\text{a}$
We have
$A^{\prime}=6\left(a^{\prime}\right)^2$
$=6\left(\frac{3}{2} a\right)^2\left\{\text { Since, } a^{\prime}=\frac{3}{2} a\right\}$
$=\frac{9}{4}\left(6 a^2\right)$
$=\frac{9}{4} \mathrm{~A}\left\{\text { Since, } A=6 a^2\right\}$
Percentage increase in surface area,
$=\frac{\text{A}'-\text{A}}{\text{A}}\times100$
$=\frac{\frac94\text{A}-\text{A}}{\text{A}}\times100$
$=\frac{\frac54\text{A}}{\text{A}}\times100$
$= 125$
Increase in surface area is $125\ %$.
Hence, the correct choice is $(d)$.

$=(\mathrm{lbh})(\mathrm{lbh})$
$=\mathrm{V}^2\{\text { Since, } \mathrm{V}=\mathrm{Ibh}\}$
$\mathrm{V}=\sqrt{\mathrm{A}_1 \mathrm{~A}_2 \mathrm{~A}_3}$
Thus, volume of the cuboid is $\sqrt{\mathrm{A}_1 \mathrm{~A}_2 \mathrm{~A}_3}$.
Hence, the correct choice is $(c)$.

A cube whose volume is $\frac{1}{8}$ cubic centimeter is placed on a cube whose volume is $1 \mathrm{~cm}^3$. The two cubes are then placed on top a third cube whose volume is $8 \mathrm{~cm}^3$. The heigght of the stacked cubes is:
  • $3.5\ cm$
  • B
    $3\ cm$
  • C
    $7\ cm$
  • D
    None of these.
Answer
Correct option: A.
$3.5\ cm$

Let,
$\mathrm{V}_1, \mathrm{~V}_2, \mathrm{~V}_3 \rightarrow$ Volume of the three cubes
$a_1, a_2, a_3 \rightarrow$ Side of the three cubes
We know that,
$a^3=V$
So,
$\text{a}^3_1=\text{V}$
$\text{a}^3_1=\frac18$
$\text{a}_1=\frac12\text{cm}$
Similarly,
$\text{a}^3_2=1$
$\text{a}_2=1\text{cm}$
And;
$\text{a}^3_3=8$
$\text{a}_2=2\text{cm}$
So the height of the resulting structure,
$=\frac12+1+2$
$= 0.5 +1 + 2$
$= 3.5\ cm$
The height of the structure is $3.5\ cm$.
Hence, the correct choice is $(a)$.

If the area of the adjacent faces of a rectangular block are in the ratio $2 : 3 : 4$ and its volume is $9000cm^3$, then the length of the shortest edge is:
​​​​​​
  • A
    $30\ cm$
  • B
    $20\ cm$
  • $15\ cm$
  • D
    $10\ cm$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$15\ cm$
Let, the edges of the cuboid be $a\ cm, b\ cm$ and $c\ cm$.
And, $a < b < c.$
The area of the three adjacent faces are in the ratio $2 : 3 : 4$.
So,
$ab : ca : bc = 2 : 3 : 4$, and its volume is $9000\ cm^3$
We have to find the shortest edge of the cuboid
Since;
$\frac{\text{ab}}{\text{bc}}=\frac{2}{4}$
$\frac{\text{a}}{\text{c}}=\frac12$
$c = 2a$
Similariy,
$\frac{\text{ca}}{\text{bc}}=\frac{3}{4}$
$\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}=\frac{3}{4}$
$\text{b}=\frac{4\text{a}}{3}$
Volume of the cuboid,
$V = abc$
$9000=\text{a}\Big(\frac{4\text{a}}{3}\Big)(2\text{a})$
$27000 =8\text{a}^3$
$\text{a}^3=\frac{27\times1000}{8}$
$\text{a}=\frac{3\times10}{2}$
$\text{a}=15\text{cm}$
As $\text{b}=\frac{4\text{a}}{3}$ and $c = 2a$
Thus, length of the shortest edge is $15\ cm$.
Hence; the correct choice is $(c)$.

If $V $is the volume of a cuboid of Dimensions $x, y, z$ and $A$ is its surface area, then $\frac{\text{A}}{\text{V}}$
  • A
    $\text{x}^2 \text{y}^2 \text{z}^2$
  • B
    $\frac12\Big(\frac{1}{\text{xy}}+\frac{1}{\text{yz}}+\frac{1}{\text{zx}}\Big)$
  • $\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}+\frac{1}{\text{y}}+\frac{1}{\text{z}}\Big)$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{\text{xyz}}$
Answer

Volume of the cuboid $(V) = xyz$
$\frac{\text{A}}{\text{V}}=\frac{2(\text{xy}+\text{yz}+\text{zx})}{\text{xyz}}$
$=2\Big(\frac{\text{xy}}{\text{xyz}}+\frac{\text{yz}}{\text{xyz}}+\frac{\text{zx}}{\text{xyz}}\Big)$
$=2\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}+\frac{1}{\text{y}}+\frac{1}{\text{z}}\Big)$
