Mathematics

Three cubes of metal whose edges are 9 cm, 12 cm, and 15 cm respectively, are melted and one new cube is made. Find the edge length of the new cube.

Correct answer: D

A
21 cm
B
19 cm
C
32 cm
D
18 cm
Correct
Explanation and memory cue

The volumes of the three cubes are calculated as 9³ = 729 cm³, 12³ = 1728 cm³, and 15³ = 3375 cm³. Adding these volumes gives a total volume of 729 + 1728 + 3375 = 5832 cm³. When these three cubes are melted and recast into one cube, the volume of the new cube is 5832 cm³. The edge length of the new cube is the cube root of 5832, which is exactly 18 cm. Therefore, the correct answer is option D (18 cm).

The radius of a cylindrical vessel is 7 cm and its height is 3 cm. Find the total surface area of the cylinder.

Correct answer: C

A
308 sq cm
B
220 sq cm
C
440 sq cm
Correct
D
132 sq cm
Explanation and memory cue

The total surface area (TSA) of a cylinder is calculated using the formula TSA = 2πr(r + h), where r is the radius and h is the height. Given r = 7 cm and h = 3 cm, substituting these values gives TSA = 2 × π × 7 × (7 + 3) = 2 × π × 7 × 10 = 140π ≈ 439.6 sq cm. Among the options provided, 440 sq cm (option C) is the closest to the calculated value. Therefore, the correct answer is C.

Box Packing

easy
Mathematics

If in a box of dimensions 6 m × 5 m × 4 m, smaller boxes of dimensions 60 cm × 50 cm × 40 cm are kept in it, then what will be the maximum number of small boxes that can be kept in it?

Correct answer: B

A
500
B
1000
Correct
C
900
D
600
Explanation and memory cue

First, convert the dimensions of the large box to centimeters: 6 m = 600 cm, 5 m = 500 cm, and 4 m = 400 cm. Then, divide each dimension by the corresponding small box dimension: 600/60 = 10, 500/50 = 10, and 400/40 = 10. Multiplying these gives 10 * 10 * 10 = 1000 small boxes that can fit inside the large box.

The heights of two right circular cones are in the ratio 1:2, and the perimeters of their bases are in the ratio 3:4. What is the ratio of their volumes?

Correct answer: C

A
3:8
B
9:16
C
9:32
Correct
D
9:64
Explanation and memory cue

The volume of a cone is proportional to the product of the base area and the height. Given the perimeters of the bases are in ratio 3:4, the radii are in ratio 3:4 (since perimeter = 2πr). The base areas ratio is therefore (3^2):(4^2) = 9:16. The heights ratio is 1:2. Thus, the volume ratio is (base area ratio) × (height ratio) = (9:16) × (1:2) = 9:32.

Open Box Weight

medium
Mathematics

The dimensions of an open box are 52 cm, 40 cm, and 29 cm. Its thickness is 2 cm. If 1 cm³ of metal used in the box weighs 0.5 g, what is the weight of the box?

Correct answer: D

A
8.56 kg
B
7.76 kg
C
7.756 kg
D
6.832 kg
Correct
Explanation and memory cue

The box is open, so it has five faces. The outer dimensions are 52 cm × 40 cm × 29 cm, and the thickness is 2 cm, so the inner dimensions are (52-4) cm × (40-4) cm × (29-2) cm = 48 cm × 36 cm × 27 cm. The volume of metal used is the difference between the outer and inner volumes: (52×40×29) - (48×36×27) = 60240 - 46656 = 13584 cm³. Since 1 cm³ weighs 0.5 g, total weight = 13584 × 0.5 = 6792 g = 6.792 kg, which is closest to option D (6.832 kg). Therefore, the correct answer is D, not B as originally stated.

Correct
D

Explanation and memory cue

The volume of one sphere with diameter 6 cm (radius 3 cm) is calculated as V = (4/3)πr³ = (4/3)π(3)³ = 36π cm³. The volume of the cylinder with height 45 cm and diameter 4 cm (radius 2 cm) is V = πr²h = π(2)²(45) = 180π cm³. The number of spheres that can be moulded to form the cylinder is the volume of the cylinder divided by the volume of one sphere: 180π / 36π = 5. Therefore, 5 spheres can be moulded to form the cylinder, making option C the correct answer.

How many cubes of edge 2 dm can be cut out of a cube with edge length 1 meter?

Correct answer: D

A

B
64
C
216
D
125
Correct
Explanation and memory cue

The large cube has an edge length of 1 meter, which is equivalent to 10 decimeters (dm) since 1 m = 10 dm. The smaller cubes each have an edge length of 2 dm. To find how many smaller cubes fit along one edge of the large cube, divide 10 dm by 2 dm, which equals 5. Since the cubes fit perfectly along each dimension, the total number of smaller cubes that can be cut out is 5 × 5 × 5 = 125. Therefore, the correct answer is D (125).

C
48 π cm²
Correct
D
24 π cm²
Explanation and memory cue

The curved surface area of a cone is given by the formula π × radius × slant height. Here, radius = 4 cm and slant height = 12 cm, so the curved surface area = π × 4 × 12 = 48 π cm², which corresponds to option C.

Correct
C

Explanation and memory cue

Given the product of two numbers is 2028 and their HCF is 13, we can write the numbers as 13a and 13b where HCF(a,b) = 1. Then, 13a × 13b = 2028 ⇒ 169ab = 2028 ⇒ ab = 12. The number of pairs (a,b) with product 12 and HCF 1 are (1,12) and (3,4), so there are 2 such pairs. Hence, the number of such pairs is 2.

Explanation and memory cue

The number of divisors for each option is calculated as follows: - 99 = 3^2 * 11^1, number of divisors = (2+1)*(1+1) = 3*2 = 6 - 101 is prime, number of divisors = 2 - 176 = 2^4 * 11^1, number of divisors = (4+1)*(1+1) = 5*2 = 10 - 182 = 2^1 * 7^1 * 13^1, number of divisors = (1+1)*(1+1)*(1+1) = 2*2*2 = 8 Therefore, 176 has the greatest number of divisors (10). The original answer (182) was incorrect. The correct answer is option C (176).

The diameter of a cylindrical tin is 6 cm and its height is 5 cm. Find the volume of the cylinder.

Correct answer: B

A
30 π cc
B
45 π cc
Correct
C
150 π cc
D
180 π cc
Explanation and memory cue

The volume of a cylinder is calculated using the formula V = πr²h. Given the diameter is 6 cm, the radius r = 6/2 = 3 cm. The height h is 5 cm. Substituting these values, the volume V = π × 3² × 5 = 45π cm³. The unit cc (cubic centimeters) is equivalent to cm³, so the volume is 45π cc. Therefore, the correct answer is option B: 45 π cc.

If the radius of a sphere is doubled, by what percentage does its volume increase?

Correct answer: C

A
100 %
B
200 %
C
700 %
Correct
D
800 %
Explanation and memory cue

The volume of a sphere is given by the formula V = (4/3)πr³. If the radius is doubled, the new volume becomes V' = (4/3)π(2r)³ = (4/3)π(8r³) = 8V. This means the volume increases by a factor of 8, which is 700% more than the original volume (since the original volume counts as 100%, the increase is 8 times minus 1 times the original volume, i.e., 700%). Therefore, the volume increases by 700%, corresponding to option C.

A tank 3 m long, 2 m wide, and 1.5 m deep is dug in a field 20 m long and 14 m wide. If the earth dug out is evenly spread over the field, by approximately how much will the level of the field rise?

Correct answer: C

A
0.299 cm
B

D

Explanation and memory cue

The volume of earth dug out from the tank is calculated as length × width × depth = 3 m × 2 m × 1.5 m = 9 m³. The area of the field is length × width = 20 m × 14 m = 280 m². When the earth is spread evenly over the field, the rise in the level of the field is volume ÷ area = 9 m³ ÷ 280 m² = 0.03214 m = 3.214 cm. Among the given options, 2.98 cm (option C) is the closest to the calculated value, so it is the correct answer.

A wooden box of dimensions 8 m × 7 m × 6 m is to carry rectangular boxes of dimensions 8 cm × 7 cm × 6 cm. What is the maximum number of small boxes that can be carried in one wooden box?

Correct answer: A

A
1,200,000
Correct
B
1,000,000
C
9,800,000
D
7,500,000
Explanation and memory cue

The volume of the large wooden box is 8m × 7m × 6m = 336 cubic meters. Converting to cubic centimeters (1m = 100cm), the volume is (800cm) × (700cm) × (600cm) = 336,000,000 cubic centimeters. Each small box has a volume of 8cm × 7cm × 6cm = 336 cubic centimeters. Dividing the total volume by the small box volume gives 336,000,000 ÷ 336 = 1,000,000 boxes. However, since the dimensions of the large box are exactly 100 times the small box in each dimension (800cm/8cm=100, 700cm/7cm=100, 600cm/6cm=100), the number of small boxes that fit is 100 × 100 × 100 = 1,000,000. Therefore, the correct answer is B (1,000,000). The original answer was B, which is correct. The explanation was missing and has been added. The difficulty is easy, and relevant tags have been added.

Correct answer: B

A

Correct
C

Explanation and memory cue

The surface area of a sphere is proportional to the square of its radius, and the volume is proportional to the cube of its radius. Given the surface area ratio 1:4, the ratio of the radii is √1:√4 = 1:2. Therefore, the volume ratio is 1³:2³ = 1:8.
