∴ x, 2x and 3x are length, breadth and height of parallelopiped respectively.
x × 2x × 3x = 1296
⇒ 6x3 = 1296 ⇒ x3 = 216 ⇒ x = ∛216 = 6
Length = 6, Breadth = 12, Height = 18
Required surface area = 2 (lb + bh + hl)
= 2 (6 × 12 + 12 × 18 + 18 × 6) = 792 sq.cm

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Mensuration - 4 - Question 24

If the length, breadth and height of the cuboid be x, y and z cm respectively, then
xy = 12; yz = 20; zx = 15
∴ x2y2z2 = 12 × 20 × 15 = 3600 cm6
∴ n = xyz = √3600 = 60 cm3

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Mensuration - 4 - Question 25

A copper wire is bent in the form of square with an area of 121 cm2. It the same wire is bent in the form of a circle, the radius (in cum) of the circle is (Take π = 22/7)    (SSC CGL 2nd Sit. 2011)

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Mensuration - 4 - Question 25

Side of square = 121 = 11 cm
∴ Length of wire = 4 × 11 = 44 cm
Circumference of circle = Length of wire
∴ 2πr = 44

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Mensuration - 4 - Question 26

The perimeter of a triangle is 40cm and its area is 60 cm2. If the largest side measures 17cm, then the length (in cm) of the smallest side of the triangle is    (SSC CGL 1st Sit. 2011)

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Mensuration - 4 - Question 26

Smallest side of the triangle = x cm (let)
∴ Second side of triangle
= 40 – 17 – x = 23 – x

⇒ (20 – x) (x – 3) = 60
⇒ 20x – 60 – x2 + 3x = 60
⇒ x2 – 23x + 120 = 0
⇒ x2 – 15x – 8x + 120 = 0
⇒ x (x – 15) – 8 (x – 15) = 0
⇒ (x – 8) (x – 15) = 0
⇒ x = 8 or 15
Since, x is the smallest side
Then, x < 23 – x. Hence, x = 8 and x ≠ 15

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Mensuration - 4 - Question 28

Volume of water flowed in an hour = 2000 × 40 × 3 m3
= 240000 m3
∴ Volume of water flowed in 1 minute.
= 240000/60 = 4000 m3 = 4000000 litre
