Practice questions

Q1Match each solid with its volume. Use π = 22/7 for the cylinder. 1. Cube of side 6 cm; 2. Cuboid of length 10 cm, breadth 6 cm and height 4 cm; 3. Cylinder of radius 7 cm and height 5 cm.

A 1 - 36 cm³, 2 - 240 cm³, 3 - 770 cm³
B 1 - 216 cm³, 2 - 120 cm³, 3 - 770 cm³
C 1 - 216 cm³, 2 - 240 cm³, 3 - 154 cm³
D 1 - 216 cm³, 2 - 240 cm³, 3 - 770 cm³
Explanation

Compute each volume separately. For the cube, volume = a³ = 6³ = 216 cm³. For the cuboid, volume = lbh = 10 × 6 × 4 = 240 cm³. For the cylinder, volume = πr²h = (22/7) × 7² × 5 = (22/7) × 49 × 5 = 770 cm³. Therefore the correct matching is 1 - 216 cm³, 2 - 240 cm³ and 3 - 770 cm³.

Q2For a cuboid of length 10 cm, breadth 6 cm and height 4 cm, consider these statements: 1. Volume = 240 cm³. 2. Total surface area = 248 cm². 3. Lateral surface area = 128 cm². Which statements are correct?

A Only 1 and 2
B Only 1 and 3
C 1, 2 and 3
D Only 2 and 3
Explanation

Check each statement. Volume of a cuboid = lbh = 10 × 6 × 4 = 240 cm³, so statement 1 is correct. Total surface area = 2(lb + bh + lh) = 2(10 × 6 + 6 × 4 + 10 × 4) = 2(60 + 24 + 40) = 248 cm², so statement 2 is correct. Lateral surface area = 2h(l + b) = 2 × 4 × (10 + 6) = 128 cm², so statement 3 is also correct.

Q3Fill in the blank: The volume of a cylinder with radius 7 cm and height 10 cm is _____. Use π = 22/7.

A 1540 cm³
B 440 cm³
C 770 cm³
D 154 cm³
Explanation

The volume of a cylinder is πr²h. Here, r = 7 cm, h = 10 cm, and π = 22/7. Volume = (22/7) × 7² × 10 = (22/7) × 49 × 10. Cancelling 7 from 49 gives 7, so the value is 22 × 7 × 10 = 1540 cm³. Therefore, the blank should be filled with 1540 cm³.

Q4A cuboid has length 10 cm, breadth 6 cm and height 4 cm. Which statement is correct?

A Its volume is 120 cm³.
B Its total surface area is 248 cm².
C Its total surface area is 124 cm².
D Its lateral surface area is 64 cm².
Explanation

For a cuboid, total surface area = 2(lb + bh + lh). Here, l = 10 cm, b = 6 cm and h = 4 cm. So lb = 60, bh = 24 and lh = 40. Their sum is 60 + 24 + 40 = 124. Total surface area = 2 × 124 = 248 cm². The statement saying that the total surface area is 248 cm² is correct.

Q5Match each solid with the given measure. Use π = 22/7 where needed. 1. Cube of edge 4 cm: volume; 2. Sphere of radius 7 cm: surface area; 3. Cylinder of radius 3 cm and height 14 cm: volume.

A 1-64 cm³, 2-154 cm², 3-396 cm³
B 1-16 cm³, 2-616 cm², 3-396 cm³
C 1-64 cm³, 2-616 cm², 3-264 cm³
D 1-64 cm³, 2-616 cm², 3-396 cm³
Explanation

Compute the required measure for each solid. For the cube, volume = a³ = 4³ = 64 cm³. For the sphere, surface area = 4πr² = 4 × (22/7) × 7 × 7 = 616 cm². For the cylinder, volume = πr²h = (22/7) × 3 × 3 × 14. Since 14 ÷ 7 = 2, this becomes 22 × 9 × 2 = 396 cm³. Hence the correct matching is 1-64 cm³, 2-616 cm² and 3-396 cm³.
