Free Geometry MCQs with Answers

222 Geometry MCQs from Mathematics, each with the correct answer and a written explanation of why it is correct. Free and unlimited, with no account needed.

Geometry examines points, lines, angles, triangles, polygons, circles, and three-dimensional figures through properties, theorems, and formulas. Questions connect angle relationships and triangle rules with calculations of perimeter, area, surface area, and volume, so area must not be confused with the space enclosed by a solid.

  • A. Rs.60
  • B. Rs.57
  • C. Rs.55
  • D. Rs.52

Explanation: The area of the four walls is 2h(l + b) = 2 x 3 m x (15 m + 4 m) = 114 m2.

Correct answer: Rs.57
  • A. 1000
  • B. 600
  • C. 2400
  • D. 1200

Explanation: The floor area is 30 m x 20 m = 600 m2. A carpet strip 50 cm wide has width 0.5 m, so its required length is 600 m2 / 0.5 m = 1200 m.

Correct answer: 1200
  • A. 25 m
  • B. 35 m
  • C. 45 m
  • D. 50 m

Explanation: At 50 paise per m2, or Rs.0.50 per m2, an expenditure of Rs.600 covers 600 / 0.50 = 1200 m2.

Correct answer: 50 m
  • A. 4:3
  • B. 16:9
  • C. 64:27
  • D. 3:4

Explanation: The space diagonal of a cube with side s is s√3, so the common factor √3 does not change the ratio.

Correct answer: 4:3
  • A. 21 cm
  • B. 19 cm
  • C. 32 cm
  • D. 18 cm

Explanation: Because the metal is melted without loss, the new cube's volume is the sum of the original volumes: 9 cm cubed + 12 cm cubed + 15 cm cubed…

Correct answer: 18 cm
  • A. 27:1
  • B. 1:27
  • C. 1:9
  • D. 9:1

Explanation: Sphere volume is proportional to the cube of its radius, V = 4/3 pi r3. Thus radii 1:3 give volumes 1 cubed:3 cubed = 1:27.

Correct answer: 1:27
  • A. 36
  • B. 64
  • C. 27
  • D. 16

Explanation: The number of smaller spherical shots is the ratio of volumes, not the ratio of radii.

Correct answer: 27
  • A. 3:4
  • B. 4:3
  • C. 3:1
  • D. 1:3Everyday Science Quiz

Explanation: The whole surface area of a sphere is 4pi r2, while the total surface area of a hemisphere, including its circular base, is 3pi r2.

Correct answer: 4:3
  • A. 1 cm
  • B. 2 cm
  • C. 4 cm
  • D. 3 cm

Explanation: The curved surface area of a sphere is 4πr². Thus 4πr² = 64π, so r² = 16 cm² and r = 4 cm.

Correct answer: 4 cm
  • A. 74 π cm2
  • B. 36 π cm2
  • C. 48 π cm2
  • D. 24 π cm2

Explanation: The curved surface area of a cone is πrl, where r = 4 cm and l = 12 cm. Therefore, π × 4 cm × 12 cm = 48π cm².

Correct answer: 48 π cm2
  • A. 120 cm3
  • B. 40 cm3
  • C. 50 cm3
