  1. $177$

  2. $189$

  3. $175$

  4. $165$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Weight of each box $ kg $500$ g $= 4.5$ kg
Capacity of van $= 800$ kg
$\therefore$ Number of boxes, the van can carry $=$ $\dfrac {800} {4.5}$ $= 177.77 = 177 $ {approax}

The weight of a $13$ m long iron rod is $23.4$ kg. The weight of $6$ m long of such rod will be _______.

  1. $7.2$ kg

  2. $12.4$ kg

  3. $10.8$ kg

  4. $18$ kg


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Given that $13$ m weighs $23.4$ kg
So, $1$ m  will weigh $\dfrac {23.4}{13}$ kg
So, $6$ m weighs $\dfrac {23.4}{13}\times 6$ kg $=10.8$ kg
Option C is correct.

  1. $460$

  2. $4600$

  3. $46000$

  4. $0.46$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$1$ liter is equal to $1000$ milliliters
Therefore, $4.6$ liters is equal to 

$4.6$ liters $=\dfrac {46}{10}\times 1000$ milliliters
$=4600$ milliliters

The simplified form of the expression $\left[15-\left{12-\left(7-\overline{6-2}\right)\right}\right]$ will be 

  1. $6$

  2. $3+3$

  3. $8$

  4. $2$ x $4$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$ \left[15-\left{12-\left(7-\overline{6-2}\right)\right}\right]$


$=\left[15-\left{12-\left(7-4\right)\right}\right]$

$=\left[15-\left{12-\left(3\right)\right}\right]$

$= 15-9$

$=6$

$\text{Option A is correct.}$

Solve it:-
$a:b$=$5:8$ +$b:c$=$16:25$
Find  $a:c.$

  1. $6:625$

  2. $6:825$

  3. $9:625$

  4. $6:25$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$\dfrac{a}{b}=\dfrac58+\dfrac bc=\dfrac{16}{25}$


Hence, $a=\dfrac{16}{25}b\\dfrac bc=\dfrac{16}{25}-\dfrac58\Rightarrow c=\dfrac{b*25*8}{3}$

Now, $a:c=\dfrac ac=\dfrac{\dfrac{16}{25}b}{\dfrac{b\times25\times8}{3}}=\dfrac{6}{625}$

One $cm$ is equal to $10\ mm$. How many squares $mm$ are there in one square $cm$?

  1. $10\ sq.\ mm$

  2. $20\ sq.\ mm$

  3. $100\ sq.\ mm$

  4. $1000\ sq.\ mm$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
$1\ cm = 10\ mm$
$\therefore 1\ cm\times 1\ cm = 1\ cm^{2}$
$\therefore 1\ cm\times 1\ cm = 10\ mm\times 10\ mm$
$\therefore 1\ cm^{2}=100\ m^{2}$
