Sample questions

The volume of a cube is 512 cubic cm. What is the length of its edge?
Show answer
Answer: B. 8 cm
Volume of a cube = edge³. edge³ = 512. To find the edge, we need to find the cube root of 512. 8 * 8 * 8 = 64 * 8 = 512. So, the edge length is 8 cm.
A cylindrical rod has a length of 14 cm and a radius of its base is 2 cm. Find its total surface area.
Show answer
Answer: A. 176 sq cm
Total surface area of a cylinder = 2πr(r + h). Total surface area = 2 * (22/7) * 2 * (2 + 14) = (88/7) * 16. This will not give a clean integer. Let me recheck the question and formula. Total surface area of a cylinder = 2πr(r + h). r=2, h=14. TSA = 2π(2)(2+14) = 4π(16) = 64π. If π = 22/7, TSA = 64 * (22/7) = 1408/7 ≈ 201.14 sq cm. This doesn't match any option. Let me consider the case where the question meant 'curved surface area'. Curved surface area = 2πrh = 2 * (22/7) * 2 * 14 = 2 * 22 * 2 * 2 = 176 sq cm. This matches option 1. It is highly probable that the question intended to ask for the curved surface area, not the total surface area, given the options. Therefore, I will proceed with the assumption that 'curved surface area' was intended. If it were total surface area, none of the options would be correct.
A circular garden has a radius of 7 meters. What is its area? (Take π = 22/7)
Show answer
Answer: A. 154 sq m
Area of a circle = πr². Area = (22/7) * 7² = (22/7) * 49 = 22 * 7 = 154 sq m.
A cube has a side length of 7 cm. What is its volume?
Show answer
Answer: A. 343 cubic cm
Volume of a cube = side³. Volume = 7³ = 7 * 7 * 7 = 49 * 7 = 343 cubic cm.
A rectangular field is 80 m long and 60 m wide. A path of uniform width 4 m is constructed all around the field inside it. What is the area of the path?
Show answer
Answer: A. 1056 sq m
Inner length = 80 - 2*4 = 80 - 8 = 72 m. Inner width = 60 - 2*4 = 60 - 8 = 52 m. Area of inner rectangle = 72 * 52 = 3744 sq m. Area of outer rectangle = 80 * 60 = 4800 sq m. Area of path = 4800 - 3744 = 1056 sq m.
