Section A 
 
1. Correct answer: C 
2.5 is greater than 2.4 and less than 2.6 and 2.7. 
Hence, on a number line, 2.5 will lie between 2.4 and 2.7. 
 
2. Correct answer: B 
 
 
3. Correct answer: A 5 
 
4. Correct answer: C 
             
= 5 + 5 + 3 = 13 
 
5. Correct answer: A 
1 is a square as well as a triangular number. 
 
6. Correct answer: B 
Cube root of (-8) x (-343) x (125) = (-2) x (-7) x 5 = 70 
 
7. Correct answer: C 
  
 
8. Correct answer: C 
 
On cross multiplying, we get 4x + 28 = 3x - 3

18. Since ABCD is an isosceles trapezoidal, we have AD = BC 
Therefore, AD = BC = 4 cm. 
Now the perimeter of given trapezium  
= AB + BC + CD + DA 
= 12 + 4 + 8 + 4 
= 28 
 Hence, the perimeter of the given trapezium is 28 cm.
