Q3: Find the capacity of the cylinder. (π = 22/7)
MCQ (with Solutions): Mensuration | Mathematics (Maths) Class 8

(a) 1366 m3
(b) 1276 m3
(c) 1376 m3
(d) 1386 m3

MCQ (with Solutions): Mensuration | Mathematics (Maths) Class 8  View Answer

Ans: (d)

The capacity of a cylinder refers to the volume of space it can hold. 
Hence, Volume = π × r2× h

Volume = 227 × 7 × 7 × 9

After simplifying, we get:

154 × 9 = 1386

Capacity / Volume of the cylinder = 1386 cm3

Q4: A cylindrical tank is having height 6m and radius 4 m. How much litres of water can be filled in the tank? (π = 3.14)
(a) 301430 litres
(b) 301460 litres
(c) 301440 litres
(d) 301450 litres

MCQ (with Solutions): Mensuration | Mathematics (Maths) Class 8  View Answer

Ans: (c)

The capacity of a cylinder refers to the volume of space it can hold. 

Capacity of the tank = πr2 h = 3.14 × 42 × 6 = 301.44 m3.
We know that, 1 m3 = 1000 litres
∴ 301.44 m3 = 301.44 × 1000 litres
= 301440 litres.

Q10:  Find the area of the Lawn if the inner rectangle represents the house.
MCQ (with Solutions): Mensuration | Mathematics (Maths) Class 8

(a) 500m2
(b) 101m2
(c) 505m2
(d) 504m2

MCQ (with Solutions): Mensuration | Mathematics (Maths) Class 8  View Answer

Ans: (c)
Area of lawn can be found by subtracting the area of inner rectangle from square.
Hence, Area of lawn = Area of square – Area of rectangle 
Area of lawn = (25)2 – (15)(8) 

Area of Lawn = 625 m2 - 120 m2= 505 m2

(a) 113.14 cm2
(b) 113.16 cm2
(c) 112.16 cm2
(d) 112.14 cm2 

MCQ (with Solutions): Mensuration | Mathematics (Maths) Class 8  View Answer

Total Surface Area = 2πr(h + r)

Total Surface Area = 2 × 3.14 × 2 × (7 + 2)

= 113.14 cm2.

Q13: The internal measurement of a cuboidal room 15m × 6m × 4m. The room has to be painted along with the ceiling. If cost of painting is Rs 17 per m2 . Find the total cost to be paid ? 
(a) Rs 4916
(b) Rs 3916
(c) Rs 4686
(d) Rs 4386

MCQ (with Solutions): Mensuration | Mathematics (Maths) Class 8  View Answer

Ans: (d)
Surface area cuboid = 2(lb + bh + lh)
The floor of the room will not be painted.
∴ Surface area to be painted = 2(lb + bh + lh) – lb
= 2(15 × 6 + 4 × 6 + 4 × 15) – 15 × 6 = 258 m2
Total cost to be paid = 258 × 17 = Rs 4386.

Q14: Find the side of the cube whose surface area is 384m2.
(a) 5 m
(b) 6 m
(c) 8 m
(d) 7 m

MCQ (with Solutions): Mensuration | Mathematics (Maths) Class 8  View Answer

Ans: (c)
Surface area cube = 6 a2
⇒ 384 = 6 (a2)

⇒  3846  = 64 = a2

⇒ a = √64
⇒ a = 8 m.

Q15:The curved surface of the cylinder is 88 m2. The height of the cylinder is 5 m, what is the radius of the cylinder?
(a) 6.8 cm
(b) 4.8 cm
(c) 1.8 cm
(d) 2.8 cm

MCQ (with Solutions): Mensuration | Mathematics (Maths) Class 8  View Answer

Curved Surface area of cylinder = 2πrh

88 = 2πr × 5

88 = 10πr

r = 8810π

r = 8.8π

r ≈ 8.83.1416 ≈ 2.8 meters

FAQs on MCQ (with Solutions): Mensuration - Mathematics (Maths) Class 8

1. What is mensuration in mathematics?
Ans. Mensuration is a branch of mathematics that deals with the measurement of geometric figures and their parameters, such as length, area, volume, and surface area. It involves calculations related to two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes.
2. How do you calculate the area of a rectangle?
Ans. The area of a rectangle can be calculated using the formula: Area = length × width. Simply multiply the length of the rectangle by its width to find the total area.
3. What is the formula for finding the volume of a cylinder?
Ans. The volume of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula: Volume = π × r² × h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cylinder. Here, π (pi) is approximately 3.14.
4. How do you find the circumference of a circle?
Ans. The circumference of a circle can be found using the formula: Circumference = 2 × π × r, where r is the radius of the circle. Alternatively, it can also be calculated using the diameter with the formula: Circumference = π × d, where d is the diameter.
5. What is the difference between perimeter and area?
Ans. Perimeter is the total distance around a two-dimensional shape, calculated by adding the lengths of all sides. Area, on the other hand, measures the space contained within a shape and is calculated using specific formulas based on the shape's dimensions.
