Answer Key
Q. Ans. Explanations
No.
1. 4 Area of the floor = (5.5  3.75)m2 = 20.625
m2
Cost of paving = Rs. (800  20.625) =
Rs. 16500
2. 3 Let the breadth be b. Then, 25  b = 18  10
 18  10 
 b=  cm = 7.2 cm
 25 
3. 2 Perimeter of the plot = 2(90 + 50) = 280 m,
 280 
Number of poles =    56m
 5 
4. 3  160 
Let breadth = x cm. Then, length =  x
 100 

8 3  24  5 
So, x  x  24  x  24  x     40
5 5  3 
Length = 64cm, Breadth = 40cm.,
Area = ( 64  40 ) cm2 = 2560 cm2
5. 3 Clearly, we have : l = 9 and l + 2b = 37 or b =

6. 4 3a  4 3 a  4
 Volume = (4  4  4) cm 3 = 64 cm3
7. 4 a3 = 6a2  a = 6
8. 3  100  100  100 
Number of cubes =    1000
 10  10  10 
9. 4  160  100  60 
Number of blocks =    120
 20  20  20 
10. 2  18  18  18 
Number of cubes =    216
