Practice Questions - Volume and Surface Area

Q20) Length, breadth and height of a cuboid are in the ratio 1:2:3 and are increased by 10%, 20% and 30% respectively. Find the percentage change in surface area?
1) 71.6%
2) 48.09%
3) 60%
4) None of these


Hence, option 2.


Q21) A cone shaped circular tent is 12 m high and the circumference of its circular base is 44 m. How much air is contained in the tent?
1) 308 cu m
2) 462 cu m
3) 616 cu m
4) 924 cu m
Circumference of the base = 44 m

Hence, option 3.


Q22) How many bricks, each measuring 25 cm × 15 cm × 8 cm, are required to construct a wall of dimensions 15 m × 6 m × 5 m, when 20% of the volume is occupied by mortar.
1) 75,000
2) 100,000
3) 150,000
4) 120,000
Volume of the wall = 450 m3
Volume of a mortar = 20% of 450 = 90 m3
Volume of a bricks = 360 m3

Hence, option 3.


Q23) A rectangular roof is 8 m long and 6 m wide. The rain which falls on the roof is collected in a rectangular cistern 3 m long, 1.5 m wide and 2 m deep. What percentage of the cistern is full after a rainfall of 4 cm?
1) 46.86%
2) 21.33%
3) 12.5%
4) 20%


Hence, option 2.


Q24) An open rectangular tank is made up of concrete. The sides are 40 cm thick and the base is 45 cm thick. Internally the tank is 5 m long, 2 m wide and 1.65 m thick. Find it's weight in tonnes if concrete weighs 1000 Kg per 1 cu m.
1) 1760.4 Kg
2) 10716 Kg
3) 16548 Kg
4) 17604 Kg
Volume of concrete = 5.8×2.8×2.1 - 5×2×1.65 = 17.604 cu m
Weight of concrete = 17.604×1000 = 17604 Kg
Hence, option 4.
