    Number of cubes = (100 x 100 x 100)/(10 x 10 x 10) = 1000

    Correct Option: D

    Number of cubes = (100 x 100 x 100)/(10 x 10 x 10) = 1000


  1. The volume of a sphere is 88/21 x (14)3 cm3. The curved surface of this sphere is ?

    ∵ (4/3) x (22/7) x r3 = (88/21) x (14)3
    ⇒ r = 14

    Correct Option: C

    ∵ (4/3) x (22/7) x r3 = (88/21) x (14)3
    ⇒ r = 14
    ∴ Curved surface = 4 x (22/7) x 14 x 14 cm2 = 2464 cm2



  1. If the volume and surface are of a sphere are numerically the same then its radius is ?

    4/3 πr3 = 4πr2

    Correct Option: C

    4/3 πr3 = 4πr2
    ⇒ r = 3 units.


  1. A cylinder and a cone have the same height and same radius of the base. The ratio between the volumes of the cylinder and the cone is ?

    Ratio of their volumes = [πr2h] / [(1/3)πr2h] = 3/1

    Correct Option: B

    Ratio of their volumes = [πr2h] / [(1/3)πr2h] = 3/1
    = 3 : 1



  1. The area of the base of a rectangular tank is 6500 sq. cm and the volume of water contained in it is 2.6 cubic meters. The depth of water is ?

    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
