Three cubes of metal with edges $3\ cm, 4\ cm$ and $5\ cm$ respectively are melted to form a single cube. The lateral surface area of the new cube formed is.
- A
$256\ cm^2$
- B
$128\ cm^2$

- A
$7200$
- B
$8400$
- C
$72000$
- ✓
$84000$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $84000$
Let the number of lead shots be $n.$
Volume of the cuboid $= n\ ×$ volume of each lead shot
$\Rightarrow9\times11\times12=\text{n}\times\frac{4}{3}\pi\Big(\frac{0.3}{2}\Big)^3$
$...\Big(\text{since}\ \text{radius}=\frac{0.3}{2}\text{cm}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow9\times11\times12=\text{n}\times\frac{4}{3}\times\frac{22}{7}\times\frac{27}{8000}$
$\Rightarrow\text{n}=84000$
Thus, there are $84000$ lesd shots.

The mid-value of a class interval is $42$ and the class size is $10.$ The lower and upper limits are:
- ✓
$37-47$
- B
$37.5-47.5$
- C
$36.5-47.5$
- D
$36.5-46.5$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $37-47$
Let the lower limit be $x.$
Here,
Class size $= 10$
$\therefore$ Upper limit $=$ Class size $+$ Lower limit
Upper limit $= (x + 10)$
Mid value of the class interval $= 42$
$\therefore\frac{\text{x}+\text{x}+10}{2}=42$
$\Rightarrow\frac{2\text{x}+10}{2}=42$
$\Rightarrow2\text{x}+10=84$
$\Rightarrow2\text{x}=74$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=37$
Thus, we have:
Lower limit $= 37$
Upper limit $= 37 + 10 = 47$

So, Volume $=\text{r}^2\text{h}=92400$
$=15400\times\text{h}=92400$
$\text{h}=\frac{92400}{15400}$
$\text{h}=6\text{cm}$

- ✓
$64\ cm^2$
- B
$512\ cm^2$
- C
$27\ cm^2$
- D
$32\ cm^2$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $64\ cm^2$

$a^2=\frac{96}{6}=16$
$a=4 cm$
Now, lateral surface area of cube is $4 a^2$
So, $4 a^2=4 \times(4)^2$
$=4 \times 16$

The number of coins $1.5\ cm$ in diameter and $0.2\ cm$ thick to be melted to form a right circular cylinder of height $10\ cm$ and diameter $4.5\ cm$ is:
AnswerLet the required number of coins be $n.$
Since the $n$ coins are melted form a right circular cylinder,
$\text{n}\times\pi\times\Big(\frac{1.5}{2}\Big)^2\times0.2=\pi\times\Big(\frac{4.5}{2}\Big)^2\times10$

$\Rightarrow\text{n}\times\frac{9}{16}\times\frac{2}{10}=\frac{81}{16}\times10$
$\Rightarrow\text{n}=\frac{81\times10\times16\times10}{16\times9\times2}$

A cube whose volume is $\frac18$ cubic centimeter is placed on a cube whose volume is $1\ cm^3$. The two cubes are then placed on top a third cube whose volume is $8\ cm^3$. The heigght of the stacked cubes is:
- ✓
$3.5\ cm$
- B
$3\ cm$
- C
$7 \ cm$
- D
AnswerCorrect option: A. $3.5\ cm$
Let,
$V _1, V_2, V_3 \rightarrow$ Volume of the three cubes
$a_1, a_2, a_3 \rightarrow$ Side of the three cubes
We know that,
$a^3=V$
So,
$a _1^3 = V$
$a _1^3 =\frac{1}{8}$
$a _1 =\frac{1}{2} \ cm$
Similarly,
$a _2^3 =1$
$a _2 =1\ cm$
And;
$a _3^3 =8$
$a _2 =2\ cm$
So the height of the resulting structure,
$=\frac{1}{2}+1+2$
$=0.5+1+2$
$=3.5\ cm$
The height of the structure is $3.5\ cm$ .
Hence, the correct choice is $(a)$.

AnswerCorrect option: C. $4851\ cm^3$
Given surface area of a sphere $= 1386\ cm^2$
$\Rightarrow4\pi\text{r}^2=1386$
$\Rightarrow4\times\frac{22}{7}\times\text{r}^2=1386$
$\Rightarrow\frac{88}{7}\times\text{r}^2=1386$

AnswerCorrect option: D. $4\pi\text{r}^2$
Because curved surface area of a hemisphere is $2\pi\text{r}^2$ and here,
we join two solid hemisphere along their bases of radius $r,$ from which we get a solid sphere.
Hence, the curved surface area of new solid $=2\pi\text{r}^2+2\pi\text{r}^2=4\pi\text{r}^2$

If the height of a cylinder is doubled and radius remains the same, then volume will be:
AnswerLet $V_1$ be the volume of the cylinder with radius $r_1$ and height $h_1$, then
$V _1=\pi r _1^2 h_1 \ldots( i )$
Now, let $V_2$ be the volume after changing the dimension, then
$\text{r}^2=\text{r}_1,\text{h}_2=2\text{h}_1$
So,
$\text{V}_2=\pi\text{r}^2_2\text{h}_2=\pi\times\text{r}^2_1\times2\text{h}_1$
$\Rightarrow\text{V}_2=2\times\pi\text{r}^2_1\text{h}_1=2\text{V}_1$

- A
$1 : 2$
- ✓
$1 : 4$
- C
$1 : 8$
- D
$1 : 16$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $1 : 4$
Volume of sphere $=\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{r}^3=\text{v}$
$\frac{\text{V}_1}{\text{V}_1}=\frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{r}^3}{\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{r}^3_2}=\frac{\text{r}^3_1}{\text{r}^3_2}=\frac{1}{8}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{r}_1}{\text{r}_2}=\frac{1}{2}$
now, Surface Area of Sphere $=4\pi\text{r}^2=\text{S}$
$\frac{\text{S}_1}{\text{S}_2}=\frac{4\pi\text{r}^2_1}{4\pi\text{r}^2_2}=\Big(\frac{\text{r}_1}{\text{r}_2}\Big)^2=\frac{1}{4}=1:4$
Hence, correct option is $(b).$

Write the correct answer in the following:
The length of the longest pole that can be put in a room of dimensions $(10m × 10m × 5m)$ is:
AnswerGiven, dimensions of a room, $l = 10m, b = 10m, h = 5m$
$\therefore$ Length of the longest pole = Diagonal of a cuboid (room)
$=\sqrt{\text{l}^2+\text{b}^2+\text{h}^2}$
$=\sqrt{(10)^2+(10)^2+(5)^2}$
$=\sqrt{100+100+25}$
$=\sqrt{225}=15\text{m}$
Hence, the length of the longest pole is $15m.$
