A) 69 B) 67
C) 71 D) 73
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 69

Explanation:

The total marks of all 5 subjects = 82 x 5 = 410

Total marks of 1st two subjects = 86.5 x 2 = 173

Total marks of last two subjects = 84 x 2 = 168

Now, marks in 3rd subject = 410 - (173 + 168) = 410 - 341 = 69.

Q:

The areas of three consecutive faces of a cuboid are 12 cm², 20cm² and 15 cm², then the volume (in cm³) of the cuboid is

A) 60 B) 55
C) 45 D) 40
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 60

Explanation:

From the given data,

let the length, breadth and height of the cuboid are m, n, r

m x n = 12

n x r = 20

r x m = 15

 

Hence, m x n x n x r x r x m = 12 x 20 x 15

mnr = sqrt of (12x20x15) = 60 cub.cm.
