Understanding the Shape of a Cricket Ball
When you trace around a cricket ball, you are essentially following the outer edge of a spherical object. Here's a detailed explanation of why the correct answer is a circle:
1. Definition of a Circle
- A circle is defined as a shape where all points are equidistant from a central point.
- When tracing a round object like a cricket ball, every point you touch remains at a constant distance from the center.
2. The Shape of a Cricket Ball
- A cricket ball is a perfect sphere, which means it is completely round and symmetrical.
- Its surface curves uniformly, ensuring that any line you draw around it will be circular.
3. Tracing the Ball
- When you place a pen or pencil on the surface of the cricket ball and move it around, you are essentially creating a circle.
- The path traced will be a complete loop, which geometrically represents a circle.
4. Comparison with Other Shapes
- An oval has varying distances from the center, while a triangle and square have straight edges and corners, which a cricket ball does not possess.
- Therefore, only the circular shape matches the characteristics of what you would trace around a cricket ball.
Conclusion
- Tracing around a cricket ball will always yield a circular shape due to the nature of its spherical form.
- Hence, the correct answer is option 'D' - Circle.

A cuboid has ______ rectangular faces and _______ edges.
  • a)
    8, 12
  • b)
    10, 14
  • c)
    6, 12
  • d)
    10, 15
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding the Cuboid
A cuboid is a three-dimensional geometric shape that has specific characteristics. It is important to identify its features, including the number of faces and edges.
Number of Rectangular Faces
- A cuboid has 6 rectangular faces.
- Each face is a rectangle, and the opposite faces are identical in size.
- The six faces consist of pairs: top and bottom, front and back, left and right.
Number of Edges
- A cuboid has 12 edges.
- Each edge is a line segment where two faces meet.
- The edges can be classified into three groups, with each group containing four edges:
- Four edges on the length
- Four edges on the width
- Four edges on the height
Summary
- To summarize, a cuboid has:
- 6 rectangular faces
- 12 edges
Thus, the correct answer to the question is option C: 6 rectangular faces and 12 edges. Understanding these properties helps in visualizing and working with three-dimensional shapes effectively.

  • Pale beads on the main string: 13
  • Hanging (darker) pendant beads: 6 (3 strands × 2 beads each)
  • Total circles: 13 + 6 = 19

How many circles are there in the given figure ?
  • a)
    30
  • b)
    20
  • c)
    16
  • d)
    24
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Akash Tiwari answered
Let's count the total number of circles in the given figure step-by-step:
  • Circles on the peacock's feathers: There are 11 small circular patterns visible on the peacock's tail.
  • Each circular pattern has 2 circles:
    • One outer circle (yellowish)
    • One inner circle (blue)
    So, for 11 such patterns, total circles = 11 × 2 = 22 circles.
  • Circles on the peacock's eye: The eye contains 2 circles (one larger white and one smaller black circle inside).
  • Body and other parts: The peacock's body and legs do not contain any additional circles.
Adding all circles:
  • Circles in feather patterns = 22
  • Circles in the eye = 2
  • Total circles = 22 + 2 = 24
Therefore, the answer is 24 (Option D).

The figure is made up of ________ triangles.
  • a)
    7
  • b)
    10
  • c)
    8
  • d)
    5
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Why there are 10 triangles
  • In the middle, there is a rectangle with two crossing lines (diagonals).
  • These lines make 4 small triangles inside the rectangle.
  • They also make 4 bigger triangles by joining opposite corners.
On the sides:
  • There is 1 triangle on the left
  • And 1 triangle on the right

Find the number of rectangles in the given figure.
  • a)
    10
  • b)
    12
  • c)
    8
  • d)
    14
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Amit Khanna answered
2 × 5 = 10.
There are 2 rectangles in each figure and total figures are 5.
So, the number of rectangles are 10.

  • c)
     5
  • d)
    7
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Kds Coaching answered
7 Shapes are there, which have more than 3 sides.
4 are triangles with 3 sides only and others are circles and oval.
