?Time taken to complete journey
= - 10 20 6 40 : : = 3 h 40 min
2. (1) Volume of 1st container = 200 mL
Volume of 2nd container = 300 mL
Now, by using the Ist container 6 times and 2nd container 3
times, we get,
Total volume = × + × 200 6 300 3
= + 1200 900 = 2100 mL
? 2000 mL
Hence, the combination given in option (1) is not correct.

? Side of small square = = 4 2 units
Now, length of rectangle = = × l 4 side of
square = 8 units
and breadth of rectangle = = × b 2 side of
square = 4 units
Q Perimeter of rectangle = + 2( ) l b
? Required perimeter = + 2 8 4 ( ) = 24 units
5. (2) Since all the observations are equal. Therefore,
median marks obtained by child = 75
6. (3) Figure given in option (3) is the folded form of the

From II, Total cost = × × ` ( ) 20 12 250
[Q1 dozen = 12 units]

ANSWERS
1. (2) Starting time of journey
= 18 40 : = 6 40 : pm
and he finished his journey at 22 20 : i.e. = 10 20 : pm
?Time taken to complete journey
= - 10 20 6 40 : : = 3 h 40 min
2. (1) Volume of 1st container = 200 mL
Volume of 2nd container = 300 mL
Now, by using the Ist container 6 times and 2nd container 3
times, we get,
Total volume = × + × 200 6 300 3
= + 1200 900 = 2100 mL
? 2000 mL
Hence, the combination given in option (1) is not correct.

4. (4) Area of small square = 4 sq units
Q Area of square = (Side)

? Side of small square = = 4 2 units
Now, length of rectangle = = × l 4 side of
square = 8 units
and breadth of rectangle = = × b 2 side of
square = 4 units
Q Perimeter of rectangle = + 2( ) l b
? Required perimeter = + 2 8 4 ( ) = 24 units
5. (2) Since all the observations are equal. Therefore,
median marks obtained by child = 75
6. (3) Figure given in option (3) is the folded form of the
given solid.
7. (3) Let the total part be ‘x’.
? Red part = = 40

8. (2) Figure given in option (2) is the top view of the
given solid.
9. (3) From I, Total cost = × ` ( ) 200 250 =` 50000
From II, Total cost = × × ` ( ) 20 12 250
[Q1 dozen = 12 units]
=` 60000
Clearly, 2nd cost is more.
