    Let depth = D cm.
    Then, D x 6500 = 2.6 x 100 x 100 x 100

    Correct Option: B

    Let depth = D cm.
    Then, D x 6500 = 2.6 x 100 x 100 x 100
    ∴ D = (2.6 x 100 x 100 x 100) / 6500 cm
    = 400 cm = 4 cm


  1. In a shower, 5 cm of rain falls. The volume of water that falls on 2 hectare of ground, is ?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Volume = Area x Thickness of rainfall

    Correct Option: B

    Volume = Area x Thickness of rainfall
    = 2 x 10000 x (5/100) m3
    = 1000 m3



  1. The volume of a cube is 512 cm3, Its surface area is ?

    ∵ a3 = 512 = 8 x 8 x 8
    ⇒ a = 8 cm
    ∵ Surface area = 6a2

    Correct Option: C

    ∵ a3 = 512 = 8 x 8 x 8
    ⇒ a = 8 cm
    ∵ Surface area = 6a2
    =[6 x (8)2] cm2
    =384 cm2


  1. The length of longest rod that can be placed in a room 20 m long, 16 m broad and 12 m high, is ?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Length of the rod = √(20)2 + (16)2 + (12)2 m

    Correct Option: D

    Length of the rod = √(20)2 + (16)2 + (12)2 m
    = √800 m
    = 20√2 m
    = (20 x 1.41) m
    = 28.2 m



  1. The length of longest rod that can fit in a cubical vessel of side 10 cm, is ?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Longest rod = √(10)2 + (10)2 + (10)2 cm

    Correct Option: C

    Longest rod = √(10)2 + (10)2 + (10)2 cm
    =√300 cm
    =10√3 cm
