A Correct answer
Explanation

The volume of the cylinder is V = πr²h = π(5)²(5) = 125π cubic cm. For a cube with edge length x, the volume is V = x³. Setting the volumes equal: x³ = 125π, which gives x = (125π)^(1/3) = 5π^(1/3) cm. Option B (5π) would give volume 125π³, Option C (125π) would give volume (125π)³, and Option D (125) would give volume 1,953,125 - all incorrect.

D Correct answer
Explanation

Volume of region between cylinders = π(R² - r²)h = π(10² - 5²)(20) = π(100 - 25)(20) = π(75)(20) = 1500π. This uses the formula for volume of a cylinder (V=πr²h) and subtracts the inner cylinder volume from the outer.

  1. 0.36 %

  2. 3.60 %

  3. 6 %

  4. 12.36 %

D Correct answer
Explanation

When the radius increases by 6%, the new radius becomes 1.06r. Area is proportional to the square of the radius (A = πr²), so the new area becomes π(1.06r)² = 1.1236πr². This represents a 12.36% increase over the original area. The percentage increase is calculated as (1.06² - 1) × 100 = 12.36%. This demonstrates how small percentage changes in radius compound when applied to area.

  1. 220 / 7 sq cm

  2. 200 sq cm

  3. 100 sq cm

  4. 70 sq cm

B Correct answer
Explanation

The largest square inside a circle has its diagonal equal to the circle's diameter. For radius 10 cm, diameter = 20 cm. If diagonal = 20, then side = diagonal/√2 = 20/√2 = 10√2. Area = side² = (10√2)² = 200 sq cm. The claimed answer B is correct. Option C (100) would be if side = 10, but the diagonal constraint makes the square larger.

A Correct answer
Explanation

Statement A: lh = 4, bh = 6, lb = 9. Volume = lbh. From these: (lh)(bh)(lb) = l²b²h² = 4×6×9 = 216, so lbh = 6. Statement A alone is sufficient. Statement B: l + b + h = 10 and 2(lb + bh + lh) = 38. This gives lb + bh + lh = 19. With l+b+h=10 and sum of pairwise products=19, we can find (l+b+h)² = l²+b²+h²+2(lb+bh+lh), giving sum of squares = 100-38 = 62. But we cannot uniquely determine l, b, h from sum and sum of squares alone. Statement A alone suffices.
