  1. Sudha bought more $400$ g

  2. Sara bought more $250$ g

  3. Sudha bought more $300$ g

  4. Sara bought more $200$ g

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Weight bought by Sara$=10\times 250ℊ+5\times 200ℊ=2500ℊ+1000ℊ=3500ℊ$

How many spherical bullets can be made out of a solid cube of lead whose edge measures $44\space cm$, each bullet being $4\space cm$ in diameter.

maths how much does it weigh? define weight and units of weight using decimals in weight conversion of length measurement (length) basic operations with same units operations involving units of length

  1. $2451$

  2. $2541$

  3. $2304$

  4. $2536$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Number of spherical bullets formed $ = \dfrac {Volume  of 

cube}{Volume   of   one   spherical  bullet} $





Volume of a cube of edge a $ = {a}^{3} $





 Volume of a sphere of radius 'r' $ = \dfrac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi { r }^{ 3 } $





As the diameter of the sphere is $4$ cm, its radius r $ = 2$ cm





Hence, number of spherical bullets formed $ = \dfrac {44 \times 44 \times 44}{\dfrac {4}{3}

\times \dfrac {22}{7} \times 2 \times 2 \times 2} = 2541 $

A hemispherical tank of radius $1\displaystyle\frac{3}{4}m$ is full of water. It is connected with a pipe which empties it at the rate of $7\space litres$ per second. How much time will it take to empty the tank completely?

  1. $26.74\space min.$

  2. $26.54\space min.$

  3. $26.4\space min.$

  4. $26\space min.$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Suppose the pipe takes $x$ seconds to empty the tank. 

Then, 
The volume of the water that flows out of the tank in $x$ seconds =Volume of the hemispherical tank

The volume of the water that flows out of the tank $x$ in seconds= Volume of the hemispherical shell of radius $175cm$

$\Rightarrow 7000x=\cfrac { 2 }{ 3 } \times \cfrac { 22 }{ 7 } \times 175\times 175\times 175$

$\Rightarrow x=\cfrac { 2 }{ 3 } \times \cfrac { 22 }{ 7 } \times \cfrac { 175\times 175\times 175 }{ 7000 } =1604.16seconds$

$\Rightarrow x=\cfrac { 1604.16 }{ 60 } =26.74\quad minutes$
