  • D. None of TheseInteractive math quizzes

Explanation: Since n((AUB)') = 10 and n(U) = 60, n(AUB) = 60 - 10 = 50. Using n(AUB) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A∩B), we get 50 = 35 + 24 - n(A∩B), so n(A∩B) =…

Correct answer: 9
  • A. 45434 square foot
  • B. 34343 square foot
  • C. 43572 square foot
  • D. 43560 square foot

Explanation: The standard land-area conversion is 1 acre = 43,560 square feet. Therefore the correct value is 43,560 square foot, not 43,572 square…

Correct answer: 43560 square foot
  • A. 25 %
  • B. 55%
  • C. 40.5 %
  • D. 56.25 %Quiz Mode Feature

Explanation: If the original side is s units, the new side is 1.25s units. Area changes by the square of the side factor, so the new area is (1.25)^2s²…

  • A. 1 Hectometers
  • B. 2 Hectometers
  • C. 3 Hectometers
  • D. 4 Hectometers

Explanation: One decameter equals 10 meters, so 10 decameters = 10 × 10 meters = 100 meters.

Correct answer: 1 Hectometers
  • A. 9 %
  • B. 30 %
  • C. 60 %
  • D. 69 %Primary & Secondary Schooling (K-12)

Explanation: If the original side is s, the new side is 1.30s. The area changes from s² to (1.30s)² = 1.69s², so the increase is 1.69 − 1 = 0.69 = 69%.

Correct answer: 69 %Primary & Secondary Schooling (K-12)
  • A. 1200 m²
  • B. 1500 m²
  • C. 12000 m²
  • D. 15000 m²

Explanation: A scale of 1:500 makes the actual length 30 cm × 500 = 15,000 cm = 150 m and the actual breadth 20 cm × 500 = 10,000 cm = 100 m.

Correct answer: 15000 m²
  • A. 54 cm
  • B. 27 cm
  • C. 12 cm
  • D. 15 cm

Explanation: Let the length and breadth be 5k cm and 4k cm. Since the area is 180 cm², 5k × 4k = 20k² = 180, so k² = 9 and k = 3 cm; the sides are 15…

Correct answer: 54 cm
  • A. 1.4 m
  • B. 2.8 m
  • C. 14 m
  • D. None of these

Explanation: Convert the capacity: 246.4 L = 0.2464 m³. Using V = πr²h, r² = 0.2464 m³ ÷ (4 m x 22/7) = 0.0196 m², so r = 0.14 m and diameter = 2 x…

Correct answer: None of these
  • A. 12 kg
  • B. 60 kg
  • C. 72 kg
  • D. 96 kg

Explanation: The sinking displaces water with volume 3 m x 2 m x 0.01 m = 0.06 m3. Since floating equilibrium makes the displaced water's mass equal to…

Correct answer: 60 kg
  • A. the volume of the box
  • B. twice the volume of the box
  • C. the square of the volume of the box
  • D. the cube root of the volume of the box

Explanation: If the box edges are a, b and c, the three adjacent face areas are ab, bc and ca.

Correct answer: the square of the volume of the box
  • A. 24 cm3
  • B. 48 cm3
  • C. 64 cm3
  • D. 120 cm3

Explanation: Let the edges be x cm, 2x cm and 3x cm. The total surface area is 2(x x 2x + 2x x 3x + 3x x x) = 22x2 cm2, so 22x2 cm2 = 88 cm2 gives x =…

Correct answer: 48 cm3
  • A. 8
  • B. 16
  • C. 27
  • D. 64

Explanation: A cube's space diagonal is a√3, where a is its edge. Thus a√3 cm = 4√3 cm gives a = 4 cm, and its volume is a3 = 4 cm x 4 cm x 4 cm = 64…

Correct answer: 64
  • A. 6
  • B. 9
  • C. 24
  • D. 30

Explanation: To obtain the least number of equal cubes, use the largest cube edge that divides all three dimensions: gcd(6 cm, 9 cm, 12 cm) = 3 cm.

Correct answer: 24

  • A. 11m
  • B. 13m
  • C. 15m
  • D. 17m

Explanation: Let the length and breadth be L metres and B metres. From the perimeter, 2(L + B) = 46 metres, so L + B = 23 metres; with LB = 120 square…
